This video is not denying the SOCIAL benefit skin, hair and eye colour have, but that is a complex topic for another video.
The point of this video is that most people have no idea what they’re looking at, often confusing sclera for iris colour.
Lol. Kneeling to the stpd people. Great stuff. Very 'scientific'. LOL
Bro you punched me in the face w/ healing in this video. I have very dark eyes and light skin. Blue eyes look intimidating to me bc I know they're preferred in the west and I feel as though that person who is usually white will focus on our differences more than what connects us as people. It sounds silly to say but as I get older I notice how certain things in society affected me
the fact is blue eyes are seen as better aesthetically just like most rare things are seen as better i.e. "exotic".
blue eyes will always be 'better' because less people have them just like someone owning a bugatti vs a ford, they both drive, but since less people own bugattis they are seen as better even though they are both cars and both drivable.
Please post how to calculate fwhr
@@GreyGrim Green eyes are 4 times rarer than blue eyes yet we see this talk, this video and your comment about blue eyes and not green eyes. Not to mention that in some countries blue eyes are the majority and it's still seen as more aesthetically pleasing.
I’ve also noticed that a key factor is having a LIMBAL RING. The limbal ring plays the biggest factor. Doesn’t matter the color. I have medium brown eyes that are more golden brown in the sun and the contrast of my iris, sclera and limbal ring makes people compliment my eyes all the time. Also I have almond shaped eyes so yes shape plays a factor. I’ve met so many people with blue, green and hazel eyes that aren’t that attractive. The limbal ring and shape make a huge difference
i have the exact same eyes as you then haha :D i always thought that was the reason people always compliment my eyes
@@lovelymelody7 exactly. Sometimes it’s not about the color at all, although color can have a benefit for very superficial reasons, but it doesn’t play a role in overall attractiveness in the same way let’s say jaw line would . Tysm. Us brown and dark brown eyes are winning
@@thinkpink6796 also i checked online my eyes are round/wide, not almond haha but right i always felt like brown and hazel eyes or darker ones were much more dynamic than lighter colored eyes. never got the hype. like people have said how vibrant my eyes are and that made me love brown eyes even more!!:)
Could you please link a picture to show your eyes?😊
Limbal ring doesnt matter, shape and width and distance does
I think a reason why people think that lighter eyes are more attractive is because it photographs better. I think photography as a medium makes brown eyes lose it's depth/dimension and shine. So if these studies are conducted with photos, there might be a bias already.
Interesting point.
@@nikhilajith8880 i agree
@@nikhilajith8880 bad point.. I think the reason they are associated with more attractiveness is because they look nice in real life stupid that’s the real reason
@@yungtaoshiwan4144 What are you, 12?
I think color psychology is also a factor.
I happen to know a lot of ugly people with blue eyes. It does nothing for their overall appearance. Colourful eyes will only enhance someone that is already beautiful.
change eye color of any average looking male of female they immediately turn more attractive unless they have too dark skin
@@ghostft yup
No some celebrities that are otherwise average in facial features who happen to have blue eyes sometimes get a bit of a halo because of it
Imo I find pretty up is only correct in portrait photos. Blue eyes do catch light pretty good. Irl I don't keep enough eye contact to care about the colors.
You straight up called them ugly 💀
I think contrast also matters. Brown eyes tend to pop more in people with light skin/hair while light eyes pop more with dark skin/hair.
Exactly!! In the white countries those people who have light eyes, light thin brows, lashes, light brown hair color are the most hated looks wise...
I still remember meeting this girl from Finland that wanted to get brown contact lenses because she thought she looked better with it. All because most people she knew were blue-eyed. It was really funny hearing this being south American where blue eyes are rarer and considered a good trait
Madeline Petsch the red head that acts in Riverdale is exotic because of her brown eyes, look at her!
Here in Finland I don't think any normal eye color is seen as either negative nor positive. Most do have blue eyes though, that is true.
she's delusional
@@zacatkinson3926She may be not. In our predominantly white versatile family and in our white country the most praised looks have been the multiracial looks. Everybody loves you. The difference is uncanny. I was born with an Anglo look. People hated on me day and night. Unlike my exotical sister who had had the world at her feet. And some other people. It never mattered that I had a better facial shape
Light eyes, light skin, light brows, light lashes in a white country.. That's a Plain Jane in the opinion of locals
As a child and young teen I always thought I looked plain and boring, even ugly because my hair and eyes were naturally very dark, and I thought everyone with lighter hair and lighter eyes was automatically prettier. When someone complimented my looks I thought it was pandering. When I matured, I realised how dumb that was, and how little your hair color and eyes matter overall
If your hair was light and your eyes were light and clear you would have received a lot more compliments throughout your life, that is a fact. Beauty is evolutionarily hardwired into all of us. Don't hate the player...hate the game. Some are just born lucky.
@@therealmccoy6112 but light hair definitely isn't universally beautiful. the way i see it, an evolutionary trait of beauty is something that almost every single person can benefit from having e.g. facial symmetry, prominent jawline, good dentofacial growth
So many people would look straight up ugly with light hair, sure there are some dark haired individuals that do look better with light hair but to say that light hair is something we are all evolutionary hardwired to be attracted to? No way
@@therealmccoy6112 maybe, but blonde hair and blue eyes aren't as trendy today as they used to be, so trends also change
@@Atlas-mm3dn in my country it's "tall,dark and handsome" for men (still white though).

My ex is from Iceland and he told me that brown eyes are seen as more beautiful than blue eyes there because in Iceland basically everyone has blue eyes. I live in Sweden and I have seen the same thing but maybe not to quite the same extent as him. I have dark brown eyes and they are always what people compliment first about my appearance. Not the color itself but just the overall appearance. I've worn green contacts as well and did not notice an increase or decrease in compliments. But people did comment about the green color more. Maybe it's because I have darker skin and it's more noticeable than if I were white.
No, you are just good looking. If you had hazel eyes the experience would be the same,you would receive the same compliments. Beautiful people with blue eyes are beautiful.Beautiful people with black eyes are beautiful.Beautiful people with hazel eyes are beautiful. It's overall and summarized effect. If you are good looking,very fit,with nice body and happened to have extremely proportional and pretty face no matter what colour of your eyes people will consider your eyes beautiful.
Generally, light eyes are viewed as more attractive.
It doesn't have anything to do with it 😂

Surprising most people in my country find Light Brown- Brown eyes more attractive. Similarly they find medium tone skin (Goldish color) more attractive as well it’s like a standard.
Whats your contry might want to live there lmao
Which country do you live in?????
I think it has to do with familiarity. I read a study how men with blue eyes prefers women with blue eyes a majority of times. They thought it had to do with familiarity and how they recognize themselves in that. I guess it’s possible for it to be the same in countries with brown eyes as the dominant color as well. If that’s true I guess I’m screwed, lol. I have extremely green eyes with central heterochromia so.. 😂
@@victorias6250 in this case it's the opposites, the countries where blue eyes are rarer, those are found to be more attractive, while in countries where they're common, other eye colors are more attractive. Same with hair color, beards and other features.
@@victorias6250 For me personally green eyes are the most beautiful eye colour, and i have black eyes, and i think blue eyes are kinda overrated, they don’t look as good as brown and green eyes
I love brown eyes in men and women. Of course, the shape matters but what I tell everyone is that brown eyes feel like looking at hot cocoa, coffee, chocolate, whiskey, etc. All the nice things in life come in shades of brown.

SOME blue eyes are so intense and deep it sometimes feels like a lizard is staring at you and makes it much harder to read the correct emotions.
Things that can cause both neoteny or beauty or intimidation on their own are great
@@dasitmane7590 Too much intimidation is unattractive in general. For example that's why a lot of people prefer a 3 day beard instead of a full beard
I’ve seen someone who I thought had dark eyes, but upon closer inspection it was actually really dark blue.
But yeah I get what you mean with some blue eyes being “intense.” It’s when the color of it is too light or reflective, it seems too pale.
😶
I’m from a country where more than half of the population has blue eyes and it’s always foreigners who obsess over blue eyes. I was surprised to go online and learn how many people it actually is. All the research is alright I guess but I honestly think it’s mainly down to it being a “unusual” and “exotic” trait to people from other places.
The appeal goes down the more common it is
@@TricksterLawlet yeah exactly. The only eye colour I’ve heard people being fascinated with here is green - and that’s full circle back to it being less common

It's always been a pet peeve of mine to hear people call dark-brown eyes "black," when black irises don't exist. Not a dig at you, Qoves! The study listed "black" and I'm 😫
THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUU. Some ethnicities (like my own) have so much pigment in their brown eyes that it might look black - but thats not an actual iris color that occurs naturally for people lol. Its a DEEP brown. How do people not google this stuff before making an informational video about it 😭
@@mariya_tortilla as an asian girl living in europe i got told by teachers everytime we did like self introductions in english that i had to say my eyes were black and not dark brown .. that’s why i never looked it up lolandjkas
No some people do have black eyes
I was thinking about this 😂
Okay yes, it’s not scientifically correct but how else do we distinguish between all the different shades of brown that people can have and then those that do appear black? It’s easier to just say black than “super dark brown, that almost look black but scientifically they are still brown”!
Black eyes are beautiful too!
If someone has amazingly detailed blue-green eyes it is extremely interesting to look at--like rare jewel. If everyone had eyes like that it wouldn't be so intriguing.
You see this everywhere, in books, in Reddit questions, songs, school, everywhere: "I wish I were pretty like her, blonde with blue eyes". I'm a brunette, brown eyes, I live in Sweden and know a lot of blue eyed blondes I'd never swap my looks with... color means nothing without the right bones and all
You can’t change your bones either so what’s your point???
@@TheKonnoisseur11 her point is that another haircolor or eyecolor won't make you more attractive. Read her comment again
@@jannik7354 having a beautiful eye color won’t make your eyes beautiful? Lmao you guys are ridiculous! 🤣
@@TheKonnoisseur11 Your question is literally the topic of the Video.. what is your point?
@@TheKonnoisseur11 beauty is subjective, but no. If you have incredibly ugly looking eyes or if your face does not match the eye colour then no, having blue eyes will not make you more attractive, you need to have other much more important features of your face that are attractive. I know loads of blue eyed people who are, generally speaking, unattractive. Not because of their eyes, but because of the other more noticable features of their faces.
I think it’s subjective. I’d choose honey brown eyes over blue any day. Brown eyes are my favorite. Not everyone is attracted to blue eyes.
Honey Brown are are light Brown/hazel what about actual brown eyes or even black passing eyes.
@@El.Matamoros. Colored eyes are better than black eyes imo
@@d4nkx549 Not always they just help
Black eyes can be beautiful too, if they sparkle. Shiny, youthful eyes are beautiful no matter the colour.
I was just commenting that the premise of this video is based on the creator’s bias about blue being universally seen as the most attractive colour when it really differs based on where you are in the world and your personal preference.
@@d4nkx549 ben barnes
For me the skin, hair and eye color does not matter in terms of attractiveness. However the eye color does play a role when it comes to vibe. Brown eyes make you look more warm and nice while blue eyes appear more dominant and aggressive to me.
that´s why a roman general said germanic peoples had unplesant piercing eyes
jwalines / eye shapes
hunter eyes deep set eyes almond eyes are seen as most attratove shapes
Also more ethereal .
idk what it is about really light colored eyes, bc no matter the shape, they give me chills sometimes. maybe it's to do with the pupil being rlly visible or smth
Blue eyes look cold and unpleasant to me
Blue is such a striking color, snd I just like being able to see the pupils.
Redish brown eyes are my favourite up there with blue
Where I'm from in South India, light-colored eyes are colloquially called 'Cat's Eyes'. They are considered interesting and unique, but they're not the conventional beauty standard.
being a light indian is high class dark indian is low class
thats why us ee the bollywood actors light
@@Moesie true
How about Aishwarya rai and Rani Mukerji etc. I always used to think because Bollywood would cast actress with light eyes that in India generally light skin and light eyes are considered an attractive and even an preferred trade in women.
@@Moesie Not necessarily. Endogamous population groups that were historically higher caste do indeed have higher concentration of fair skin, especially toward the North; but this is less so in the case of Southern Indians, especially among coastal populations that have a lot of admixture across castes.
Bollywood is very culture-specific to the Hindi-speaking North.
@@nikhilajith8880 nope indians obess over fair skin like hritik roshan.

I think blue eyes can increase your attractiveness depending on your other features for example you see Adriana Lima , her blue eye color really makes her eyes pop out more especially combined with her warm undertones and dark hair.
I don't think that the colour of someone's eyes affects their attractiveness. It is constantly misunderstood, if you look at edited pictures of adriana's eyes. You can clearly see that her attractiveness is not bothered with one BIT. Blue eyes can be said to be more of an effect as they pop in colour and are brighter.
@@Anialuvii I still stand by my point but I agree that my argument was weak 😭. Idk , I just noticed that blue eyes can give increase the attractiveness, depending on were you live a lot. ( I have blue eyes and literally got countless compliments on them so ig)
I think that striking and attractive are different. Adriana's eye color does stand out in comparison to her hair, however imo, they're still just as attractive with brown eyes.
In my experience I tend to notice that more-so than eye colour, often times people comment on contrast. Ie, I have dark hair and very light eyes with very white sclera. When people comment, they often say something along the lines of “your eyes are so _bright!_ “ or, “your eyes stand out so much!” I don’t necessarily think it’s the colour they’re noticing as much as how it contrasts with my other features. I also have a very dark blue limbal ring around my iris that sharpens the line between them and the sclera even further, which factors in. When I was younger I dyed my hair blonde and I didn’t notice as many comments about my eyes at that point because I lowered the contrast between my features.
On a small scale, this may be why many people often call people of more melanated ethnic backgrounds “so exotic” when they have light eyes. I have Indian and some Middle Eastern far back in my heritage, but my admixture is mostly European. Most people correctly assume I’m mostly Eastern European or Irish, yet I’ve still been called “exotic” when I let my hair be dark, and exponentially more when I have a tan. I really wonder if this is much to do with contrast, and would love a video on that principle as well.
Exactly. I'm surprised this reasoning wasn't explored in the video.
I've always had this opinion, believing that eyeshape and eyelash density are way more important than eye color but couldn't express my thoughts in details to the people who were asking me why I'm like that. I'm glad that this channel have showed me that I do indeed have a good understanding for beauty unlike people around me who might have distorted look due to colorism/colonialism. This channel is one of the best if not the best when explaining beauty and attractiveness.
I dont think they necessarily make you more attractive, but they do make you special.
Exactly!
@@Evute02 no green makes u special and grey since those are the rares eye color
No, people with blue eyes are not more special than people with brown eyes.
@@darciee.7337 exacrly they keep forgetti g that the eye shape sclera eye brows thickness matters
personally i find pale eyes somewhat creepy, more-so in men, and i i find brown eyes reassuring and attractive in all genders. theres probably a genetic aspect too since my whole immediate family have blue and green eyes, though mine are on the darker side of blue-grey.
my dad has green eyes and cuz of that i find ppl with green eyes scary
@@Yellow.1844 green eyes are one of the warmest and generally considered anything but scary lol
@@timonbubnic322 I mean, they can be alluring, especially when the person has red hair, but the person you responded to was meaning that they associate the eye color with a scary person, so it doesn’t matter how alluring they are considered by the majority
I feel that too idk why, pale eyes are jarring but brown eyes are familiar
@@bunnywavyxx9524 I guess it's BECAUSE brown eyes are so common that they're comforting. My best friend and my partner both have very amber toned brown eyes.
I'm from Southern Africa and I could say the same about skin color, people think if you are light skinned then you're automatically attractive and popular. Often you'll see some people comment on celebrity pictures;
" if they were dark-skinned they'd be ugly, it's lucky that they're light skinned."
- that in itself is a weird comment, but many people, men and women, believe it to be so and are taking creams and medicine to lighten their skin for a chace to be beautiful. It's such a jarring transformation too, some end up wirh light skin with black hyper-pigmentation or with translucent like skinned with green veins. Still they continue because they single out this one trait as what will make hem beautiful, not their face proportions but their skin color.
Colorism is a disease.
I got a lot of dark hyperpigmentation and never used those creams! It was prolly cuz I used to play a lot as a kid and not apply any lotions or sunscreens back then 😂
That's the effect of colonisation and aparteid
That’s a colonial beauty standard, as is with blue eyes and blond hair.
That’s due to colourism/racism
I think all eye colors, hair tones, and skin tones are beautiful in their own way. However, not every feature is beautiful, and in order for a person to be beautiful, all of their features (ideal or not) need to be in harmony. Beauty is hard to define, but most of us know it when we see it.
Blue eyes only look good with almond shapes whereas it looks scary with people having scleral show
@@Atlas-mm3dn haha yeah u r right
Hmmm, i think blue eyes are very beautiful. In nature its just such a rare color to See. And if someone has very dark features with blue eyes they just look so otherworldy beautiful. Same goes with green and Hazel eyes. I think its the combination that matters as well
Its not rare green eyes is rare
Everyone in the west has blue eyes
Darker complexions looks great with lighter eyes and lighter completions look great with dark eyes in my opinion.
Yeah, it’s the contrast that makes it look great.
i’m midtoned (so like light ish brown?) and i think i’d look awful with blue eyes. i’d look good with green or hazel but i’d look terrible with blue
Exactly. I'm surprised the contrast was just briefly mentioned then brushed off in the video.
This reminds me of the time I said the most beautiful woman I have ever seen was a mixed black Latina from the Caribbean during college. I meant and still mean that with all unbiased honesty, as a proud man from Norway, that woman was and is just striking. And everyone in our class agreed. Just perfect, womanly, with big curly hair, long almond brown eyes, perfect hourglass shape, beautiful full mouth, perfect toffee skin, tiny waist you could wrap your hands around, full breasts, full behind, beautiful legs, not tall, not short. I called her Eve as she genuinely looked like everyone’s definition of beauty, like a blend of Marilyn Monroe and Liz Taylor into one perfect little human. A lot of people thought I was crazy for saying it because I have blue eyes and because I Nordic that apparently our beauty trumps overall human beauty. Having rare features is not beauty. When I’d ask why the woman I mentioned is not beautiful, the argument was always that she didn’t have light eyes and it made me throw up a little. To me a beautiful woman is a beautiful woman point blank, coloring barring. An unattractive white woman that’s blonde and blue eyed is not more beautiful than a gorgeous brown eyed, brown haired woman. I would ten times take the brunette over an unattractive fair eyed woman as I care more about beauty than coloring.
All you need is a tiny waist, big boobs, big hips, full lips, perfect toffee skin, full behind, beautiful legs, perfect height. Is that so much to ask? LOL jesus
Creepy gross comment. Nobody wants to hear you describe this woman's "full breasts and beautiful legs" dude
@@hi-ve1cw you're a women be quit 😂
Colored eyes are mostly seen as desirable in a place where it’s uncommon simple as that. In the grand scheme it doesn’t really matter in looking aesthetic.
I’d disagree. Over here in the US where at least 70% of white people I meet day to day have light eyes, I still hear about women obsessing over who they date so their children also have blue eyes. It’s probably racism to some extent, but it’s there.
@@defyyourlogic487 I wasn’t talking about the US, the majority of the world is not white sir, if you haven’t noticed .
I’ve been saying this to everyone that says something about eye colour: Shape and overall proportions are what makes eyes beautiful. And then if you have bright eyes they will look great, but if they’re brown they would look warm and beautiful as well.
Thats what I'm saying I got nice eye brows and almon eyes and it works like magnet i never had difficulity attracting women with brown eyes
-eye shape - eye orbit
-neutral cantalt tilt
-deep or wide set eyes

Hunter eyes, almond eyes , deep set are preffered on men.
My eyes are black, despite that I’ve been complimented many times on my eyes. So, I get that shape matters. I have almond shaped eyes that are average sized, and slant slightly up.
Are black eyes really a thing? Or when 6:26 you look in the mirror are they just dark brown? I’m lowkey jealous of people with black and light brown eyes because my eyes are hella green with like blue and very small brown rings in the middle. You think I would have dark eyes because both of my parents do and one of them is Latino but I guess not😭. Some people will assume I’m soft just because of my eye color it's annoying. Also, they get sensitive to lights very easily because of the lack of melanin.
then i think ur just pretty, my eyes are very similar to yours and i do not get compliments on them.
Forgive me for being so blunt, but in my opinion light coloured eyes (hazel, blue, green) makes unattractive people less unattractive but in attractive people it makes no difference to me. They do not look more or less attractive with light/ coloured eyes
I do personally find very light blue eyes unattractive in both men and women, but that’s very personal
I personally think that attractive and avarage people are even more attractive when they have an eye/hair colour I find pretty, but with people I don't find attractive colours don't change anything.
So I come from Sweden, a place where a large majority have blue eyes. But I don't, I have medium brown eyes (with brown hair and pale skin). I only noticed that a lot of people prefer blue eyes through American media. Swedish people really don't notice or care for blue eyes.
I also have to say that eye color can change how someone’s face looks. I’m sure someone other than me can explain it better, but I’ve seen way too many beautiful brown/black-eyed women start to wear colored contacts and the contacts negatively changing how their face was perceived. At least by me.
To me, a darker eye color seemed to fit their face better. I’ve even seen this phenomenon in photoshopped pictures of celebrities.
I wonder if this phenomenon is related to the uncanny valley. It could be that the colored contacts on some level just look fake
Light eyes only look good on beautiful people
@@jencat4747 Hmmm that may also be a contributing factor
ive seen the opposite too, there was a girl on tik tok with light colored eyes and she put a filter on with dark eyes and I honestly thought she looked better with dark eyes. vice versa, some people with dark eyes do look better with colored contacts, it really depends on each person's face
You've probably talked about this before, but you mentioned scarcity and rarity being one of the leading factors in attractiveness. Brown simply can't be the most attractive color simply because it is the most common eye color. People are drawn to scarcity and rarity, which is why i believe green eyes are the most attractive. Obviously, it's not a rule of thumb but it certainly is a distinctive feature that makes a person stand out in a crowd where 90% have brown eyes.b
he whipped out the numbers, believe him, having ginger hair is rarer but universally agreed as less attractive then the most common hair colours, do not forget that humans find averageness attractive.😘
Yeah, except people are also attracted to what's common and familiar to them, which is why brown eyes were rated pretty high regardless of gender, even though the research suggests men have a preference for lighter features, brown eyes was the 2nd highest most liked, and for women it was rated first, with very low porcentage of dislikes as well. Brown eyes may not be the most striking or rare, but they're the most well-rounded overall.
@@kamil3969 for women id argue ginger hair is considered universally attractive.
Not so much with men though, that's a good point. However, ginger men are often "scarce" in a place like east/southeast Asia and tend to do well there because its "exotic" and unique. Ginger men probably wouldn't do very well in a predominantly white area in comparison because its common enough to have a consensus formed around it, in this example not being the most attractive.
Familiarity and averageness is always a drawing factor, i agree with you there. Like I said though, its not a rule of thumb that something exotic is by definition better. However it does make you stand out and a lot of people are into what they're not often exposed to in their nurture.
@@kamil3969 your response was fine until the kiss emoji
Having rarer traits isn’t always attractive. Green and blue eyes are more easily damaged by light. They also show a small gentic pool because green and blue eyes are recessive.
The 'Hot Felon' is considered 'striking' because of his lighter eye colour. Change his eyes to brown and he loses such a striking feature.
Ya but the felon wouldnt be considered 'hot' if he had bad facial structure. If he simply had the eye colour it would have been striking but not much fuss would surround him.
@@doplr8711 Exactly, he would still be attractive with brown eyes because he has a sharp jawline and good facial bone structure. His eye color adds to it, but it's not what makes him good looking.
@@lebrilopejackalope5775 Of course, his eye colour doesn't make him attractive by itself, but it adds to his perceived attractiveness. If he had very dark irises, his overall attractiveness would be diminished due to him losing a feature that pops. It's like lip colour on a woman - her lips might be attractive regardless of colour, but by adding a certain shade of lipstick she increases her overall attractiveness due to making her lips standout.

I have very green eyes and I like my color tbh. I have an okay eye shape too (large and horizontally wide). However, I’ve been told by a friend that my eye color makes me look like the devil and that my eyes are freakishly big 😅😅, but that was from someone who had never seen eyes like mine. Sometimes uniqueness isn’t always attractive to people.

@@ejj918 I’ve received a few compliments in my life but not often. It’s nothing unique in my family and the small group of friends I’ve had throughout life didn’t comment each other’s appearances that much.

Green eyes isn’t unique to me. I live in the uk and it’s everywhere
@@tamiin1774 yes, green eyes are common in some countries. It's not unusual where I live either, even though blue eyes are the most dominant.

Despite having blue/grey eyes, I've always thought my eyes were pretty average looking (not ugly, but not overly pretty). While I get attention for my looks, my eyes have never been a standout feature. This video was helpful in explaining why
Maybe male preference for lighter eyes has to do with neoteny since for many, eyes "darken" as you age. And vice versa for women?
I thought it was more common for people to get lighter eyes as they age. At least that's what happening to me
@@kkkkkkksssss yeah that's what I thought
I believe that besides to the social obsession with blue eyes, eye color can enhance or disguise the presence or absence of objectively attractive eyes traits such as pupil size and limbal ring thickness, so there are attractive eyes of all colors, but I suppose that the most attractive among the attractive ones will be those that are beautiful and of a light color that enhances their beauty. Great video, I don't understand the popular association of light eyes equals attractiveness, regardless of anything else
Thanks for making this vid! Something off topic but still interesting to me - close to the 4 minute mark you refer to women as females a couple times while men as men. Perhaps it was wording from the study, but I find it interesting that we generally don’t hear people say males as much as we hear females
I've never personally found them beautiful
I have a friend with blue eyes and pretty good eye shape. I tried explaining to her that the reason her eyes are beautiful has more to do with the shape and less with the color. She kept insisting the the reason her eyes are pretty is because of the color.
She later admitted my eyes are very pretty even though they are dark brown (almost black) but they are ideally shaped.
Goes to show what society plants in your mind about what's beautiful stays there.
Blue eyes are outatanding because it will give u the billie eilish affect
Or the jeremy meeks
Its much rares and more attractive people are presented by them
If u look at swedish or icelandic nor viking people are considered attractive with blonde hair light eyes
Then u have 2billion indian people and 2 billiom east chinese asian people who are unattractive and have brown eyes.
It falls into a stereotype
But if u wanne know, kendell jenner or jenna ortega are perfevt example of pretty brown eyes.
Tupac zayn malik.
Do u see face features and eye shape?
"Even know they are dark brown" wow how nice of her 😭
High contrast is what people are really attracted to. Usually the easiest way to have contrast is just have light eyes and dark hair.
I dont know my brown eyes turn wkmen on
no they dont because blond hair and blue eyes are still the preference
@@bunnywavyxx9524 said who tho, clichés or studies of people in generality ?
I think it’s because of rarity, Light colored eyes is rare, that’s why it’s more appreciated.
Exactly what I was thinking! It's literally the same with people liking blonds so much and why you find so many blonds out there even though only 2% of the world's entire population is naturally blond. It's a brighter color and captivates people's attention way more than the color brown (not saying brown is ugly, we can't deny blond is more eye catching). It's also associated with youth. It's rarity makes you unique and people love to feel special and unique
This doesn’t hold up to scrutiny.
In parts of the world where most people have blue eyes, they are still the most sought after.
And if your rarity hypothesis were correct, people would think grey eyes would be the most attractive but instead they are considered the least attractive within the light eye color trifecta (blue, green, grey)
in Central Asia it's rare to have blue or green eyes....however nobody considers them beautiful.
@@vimanaarchitects2151 Asians wear colored contacts all the time....
Yes and No.
Because afro hair is rare amd isn't that appreciated I think the expansion of European colonialism played a role as well
You are 💯 right. No one has dated people based off eye color. Facial attractiveness overall is what matters.
wow - I didn't know there was association between blue eyes and beauty .. learning that now. To be super honest for me clear eyes seemed to be creepy - like I'm scared on the intensity of green eyes or blue eyes when they look at me during a normal conversation - makes me feel super uncomfortable; but now I'm thinking maybe that's due to some hidden gender preference, as if probably if I were a man I'll feel more naturally attracted to clear eyes.. interesting.
As a woman with light blue eyes, my eye color is what I get compliments on the most, and it’s something I really appreciate. Although there are always those people who can get really weird about my eye color, I overall tend to feel like it’s the most “harmless” aspect to be complimented on. I normally don’t feel like I’m being objectified when people compliment my eyes. It tends to feel genuine, which is always really nice to be on the receiving end of.
Yeah I have light blue eyes too and I get a lot of compliments but I don't really mind I feel like my eyecolor is one of the only features except my thick hair that I actually like about myself, there's some people who REALLY hate blue eyes they'll say you look soulless or stare into your soul or you're creepy etc. but they're only like 5% maybe and you can tell many of them are just envious haters soo..
@@nothing-jl2dz I dont know I agree woth them, some people with blue eyes really got those alien eyes
But that comes usually from eye shapes eye color doesnt matter
@@Moesie most blue eyed people I met normally have expressive eyes, like you can see them get bigger, and smaller, as their emotion changes. I’ve met a few tho that will give you some creepy death stares, but not many. Idk maybe that’s just me🤷🏻♀️

Indian guy here..I met an Indian girl with blue eyes but it really didn't go well with her brown complexion. I guess if she had a lighter skin tone that blue would've suited her face greatly. Just my 2 cents.
True its about her eye shape and ey brows
Eye colour doesn't matter, it's how it contrasts and/or blends with your face. For example, blonde hair, pale skin and blue eyes are only seen as an attractive mix because they are all light colours that blend very well together.
I've got pale skin for a black person and I've always gotten loads of compliments on my incredibly dark, almost black eyes because of how they pop against my skin tone.
Thank u for saying that I've noticed i look very bad or weird with blue eyes edit
Because of my ehtnic face shape and skin tone
I got olive skintone and i look very weird with blue eyes
Blue eyes can pop like billie eilish or jeremy meeks if ur already attractive
But for the average person it doesnt
@@Moesie exactly, people only notice features like eye colour or hair colour if it blends with the rest of you and if you are already attractive. At the end of the day, colour usually doesn't matter, it's more about the shape of the face and how well the colours mix.
It just seems to me that if you change most people with brown eyes to green or blue, regardless of their facial harmony, it will make them appear better looking.
This seems to work even better on tanned or dark skin as the colours then really pop, as you can see from the eye colour changes in this video.
thats what u call societal reason, not biologicall attractivness
anyways women view bottom 80% of men as unattractive and only the top 20% of men
trust me ur blue eyes aint gonne save u
Agreed
disagree, ik a lot of non-white women that wear coloured contacts and frankly they look really unappealing with them
@@ocelot9643 there's a difference between natural colour though and those produced by artifical contact lenses.
However, I agree with you, many of them do look bad but for the reason that you ca tell they are not natural.
Oh lord my chest immedietly starting hurting reading this LOL with my dark brown eyes head ass
Are they overhyped? Yes.
Do they offer anything in terms of surviveability? No.
Are people obsessed with them? Well apparently.
Wish you talked more about the societal aspects of it. If you ask any western women on the street what she likes then chances that she will say blue are quite high. Higher than brown.
This can mean 2 things: Either women dont know what they want which is probably the case and or society softwired women to like blue eyes. Either way.
The hype around them alone makes them desireable
Only facts
great video as always...i think the misnomer that eye colour is as attractive as face shape etc when its not, comes from many things discussed in your bid BUT also from the striking-ness/vibrancy of colour. For example, i have sometimes received complements about having blue eyes not because of having blue eyes is deemed as more beautiful necessarily, but from the contrast to my black hair and dark eye lashes and eyebrows. Another example is some people prefer having a tan because it gives them a bit of colour and therefore also increases the vibrancy of the face. Make up and different colour eyeshadows can do this too.
Honestly the best eyes are the ones that deliver the legendary signature twinkle.
I disagee. I'm from slavic country, most people here have lighter eyes, and still, most people consider blue and green eyes the most attractive ones.
yes, it's also notable how plain some celebrities look once people photoshop brown eyes on them. I think that people with dark eyes just say that to make themselves feel better.
@@brooklynsbaby4367 well because not everyone looks good with brown eyes.
I for example if u put edit blue eyes on my eyes i look ugly
So what does that prove to u? That only certain people with certain skintone can have blue eyes ot doenst make every attravtive
And mostly people from slavic countries are known for there face features not just there eyes
Also ur height or face as a men is more important

@@Moesie lmo, didn't feel like writing a long comment but okay. For the record - I'm a somewhat tall woman. And for me blue eyes aren't the most beautiful - it's green eyes.
It's not that light eyes are the only way to be beautiful but they do beautify a person. Imagine Megan Fox, Angelina Jolie, Jeremy Meeks or Ian Somerhalder with brown eyes. Obviously they'd still look good, but not as striking or "special". You don't think you look your best with blue eyes but they sure give you a contrast that makes you more noticeable to people.
I do think that on average men are more likely to look good with brown eyes as supposed to women. For me women with lighter eyes are always more beautiful with a few exceptions - Keira Knigthley is an example.
I have blue eyes. I’ve always loved them. It’s kind of weird to see so many people in the comments saying they find blue eyes creepy. 🤷🏼♀️ my daughter also has blue eyes. I think they are beautiful.
They are just being contrarians. The fact is that blue eyes are pretty much universally considered beautiful.
@@mickethegoblin7167 Only white people consider it universal beautiful and white people colonised the world.
@@mickethegoblin7167 The bandwagon argument isn’t a real point. Idk why you’re arguing logic, of course a blue eyed person would like blue eyes, it is praised for nothing though and QOVES here is just using logic.
Both blue and brown eyes are attractive, it’s all abt how it suits a person, for example Alexis bledel has very noticeable blue eyes and it suits her very well
@@kanyefuentes5447 no one called blue and green eyes ugly, blue eyes can just be scary sometimes, but some people say that they find brown eyes more attractive and that’s okay doesn’t mean that they’re “jealous”
Eyes other than brown are just not as common
I have brown eyes but then when I have my grey contact lenses I look so much better as it being out my facial character
Another thing that I've noticed , especially in females is their forehead and it's width and volume. When the width is smaller than that where the cheekbones are placed their face seems less attractive. Is there a video about that? It's something I keep thinking about
I actually always hated my forehead because it's as wide as my cheekbones lol a more "egg shaped" face looks more delicate and pretty in my eyes.
I found it cool that there are 2 Russian songs I know that suggest dark eyes are beautiful. Two Russian Songs titles translated to English: Dark eyes and Dark-eyed Cossack Girl
I’ve been wearing coloured contacts for a bit because I didn’t like my eye colour and was gonna splurge on contacts AGAIN but I’m so glad you’re addressing this issue hopefully i learn to love my eye colour from now on
Losing weight, having a clean skin, chosing a haircut that matches your face shape and sexual dimorphism or going to an orthodontist are things that will actually be worth your time and money. Those will actually increase your attractiveness. I hope you can work with that.
u cant love your eyes, u either got great eye shapes lashes and brows like zayn malik or u got shitty genetics
hunter eyes or almond eyes deep set eyes are considered most attractive eyes
You can also use oils to grow & shape your eye lashes and brows.
Do they look better with the contacts?
@@Nizaar1 thanks! Hope i can work with those too
I would say that blue and green eye colors are considered beneficial to the facial beauty if there’s a contrast to the skin color and to the facial features. For example, if we take identical twins with the darker skin tone and make one of them have blue or green eyes that person will be viewed and considered as more attractive even in European countries. In this situation what defines beauty is the contrast. I have seen people who were not even pretty in the face but had beautiful eye colors and I started to view them as attractive.
I have extremely pale green-blue-grey smokey eyes. I'm Eurasian and got it from my great-grandfather. I'm the only one in my family without brown eyes!! 👀 Growing up I wanted to fit in, but now I am content 😍
From my experience i have had 10 times more admiration from people since i started wearing blue contacts

How is facial structure relevant for survivability in the wild in the 21st century? I get when people dislike actual deformities when you can't use your tongue or breathe properly for example (huge topic - because breathing function is very different in a lot humans), but I don't get it form a functional-aesthetic viewpoint when people dislike extra buccal fat or weaker jawline growth.
I think your point with this video was made by how divisive the comments section is.
eye color is kind of like style where it can be a small multiplier and take someone from an 8 to a 8.5 (or a 4 to a 4.2) if someone has a preference for that color. with that said people with darker eyes tend to have darker skin and tend to be more resiliant against sun exposure and sun aging.
Light skin and dark skin both have positives and negatives. Light skin is less resistant to the sun but it produces more vitamin D so its better adapted to colder climates, and dark skin is more resistant to the sun but produces less vitamin D so its better adapted to hotter climates
It's like a haircut or a nice dress
What makes someone look good in different colors? Is it skin color? Eye color? I have blue eyes and usually like to wear blue. And about the video itself, I wouldn’t say that my eyes make me look better, but I think my eyes alone are good looking, which I’m happy about.
skin undertones mainly, look up the color season theory if you feel like it! Some colors will bring out shadows or make then softer on you, so depending on how your skin interacts with your clothes you can look more tired, or bring out your eyes and lips, it's pretty cool
It’s color compatibility.
Have you heard of Color Theory? There are some colors which look good on certain skin undertones. For example cool skin looks great on lighter colors. Whereas tanner skin looks great on warmer colors but no colder colors.
Even before I clicked on this I guessed that there would be people attacking you & your looks personally..and that's such a weird thing to do just because you don't agree with someone 🙄
2:18 Since blue eyes (light eyes in general) occur in places as diverse as Afghanistan, India, North Africa, etc. if nothing else they signal genetic diversity in those places, and genetic diversity has benefits for reproduction and immune health.
It's the same reason people are excited by someone who can speak a foreign language, all else equal...or even just a foreigner visiting a place gets novelty attractiveness points, all else equal.
Qoves do you know if there is much research about how dimples affect facial aethetics and social perception? Do you think you could make a video about it?
Eu tenho nas bochechas e realmente recebo muitos elogios, não sei pq, dizem que lembra a fofura dos bebês.
i think light eye colours are striking on their own, but absolutely does not contribute to a person's overall attractiveness. so many people i've seen who are below average with light coloured eyes, and vice versa.
also, aren't green eyes (not hazel), the rarest eye colour, not blue? someone help me with this...
gray eyes are actually the most rare
@@VENUS-li9rs nope. Like 7% of people have gray eyes. Like 1 or 2 for green I remember reading.
@@javierclement3047 that 7% is more like blue, gray is still much rarer than blue
Green makes up like 1% of the world’s population, probably less than that actually:)
@@ash-nd4bs yeah gray is more rare. But green is definitely the rarest unless you include people with red eyes due to albinism.
I think the Most people find Colorado Eyes more attractive when people with brown/darker skin have them because it just enhances the facial Features Overall.
South Asian, Central Asian people have green eyes naturally, not because of colonization.
idc what anyone says, i prefer my dark eyes, they contrast really well with my skintone and make me look cartoonish and "cute". ive worn colored contacts before and they made me look colder and less "cute". in general when it comes to attractiveness its 100% eye shape > color, some people look better with light eyes, others with dark
And ur ethnicity .

Coming from east asian country we legit have poems on pretty blue eyes... I growing up wanting a pair and i hate my boring black eyes its like so not interesting
I never got the attraction to eye color, most of the time you don’t even remember their eye color just by looking at them. It’s all pointless.
In east asia wearing colored contact lenses in green, blue, grey, and light brown is super common. I think this is a shame, most east asians have dark brown eyes which I think is really pretty. I think east asia in general has a lot of self-hatred about their natural appearance, which is why things like double-eyelid surgery and surgeries to raise the bridge of the nose to stop it being flat are so common. I lived in Korea for several years and it was pretty common for me to see korean women walking about with dyed blonde hair and blue contact lenses. Made me sad tbh. Once I saw a korean woman with dyed ginger hair, green contacts, and she'd drawn freckles on her nose too. Kinda weird lol

To me, the eye color isn’t what makes someone’s eyes attractive. It’s the gaze. Some people have a gaze that is very deep and mysterious. So that makes their eyes more attractive.
My eyes are fully black! But i dont know if its beautiful or not, so im here because of it!
Aren’t colored eyes rare on non caucasians
My guess is that the perceived higher value of blue eyes comes from their relative scarcity in the world population, not from any aesthetic appeal. Similar to women with blond hair. It's found in one macro-ethnic strain whereas dark hair (brown or black) is found in multiple macro-ethnic strains including brown hair in caucasians. But that's just my lay man's hypothesis.
Am I the only one that prefers green eyes? A lot of my family members have green/Hazel eyes on my father's side. There are some on my mother's side as well, but not as many. I love big brown almond shaped eyes as well, and blue eyes are lovely, but if I had to choose a color different than my own, I like light brown eyes or green eyes.
Edit: I forgot that my niece had grey eyes as a baby, but they turned Hazel as she grew older. When my relatives got older, those with brown eyes started developing noticeable blue rings around their eyes (that looked pretty, unlike the big ring in the video) due to glaucoma.
for me redhair with brown eye is the perfect match
Eye color is such an inherently strange feature to obsess over. It literally means nothing in regard to the health or fertility of a partner which from an evolutionary standpoint are key factors for determining attraction. I personally never have heard anyone irl getting rejected over eye color but I know there are instances out there online, probably a requirement for the most superficial among us or lower education WASP American women who want an army of blue eyed aryan children.
Because of a genetic condition I have transparent blue eyes and reactions from people can be downright disturbing sometimes
I’ve noticed people with blue eyes will really lean into that identity (same with blonde hair) when it’s all they have going for them … false equivalence indeed
I’m not an attractive dude overall (overweight for one), but I do have really beautiful light eyes , and it’s likely the only reason I’ve been able to date beautiful women waaaayyy out of my league because they literally all mention it. Strangely, at least half of them have mentioned something to the effect of: “imagine how dazzling our baby’s eyes would be”. Very strange to me.
Anyways, I def wouldn’t trade it for being skinny even or being insanely tall.
@@javierclement3047 well its not just cuz of ur eye color
It is your eye shaoe aswell
I’ve never seen any blondes, or blue eyed people make it their whole personality, normally people with brunette hair or different colored eyes, always pointing out someone having those features:/
I died my hair red once, and I always had someone mentioning it, I didn’t try flaunting having ginger hair at the time🤣
The statement you made about eye color not having physical advantages is a shaky theory at best.
It has been proven that having brown eyes gives less strain from bright lights / sunlight.
There is a theory that lighter (blue) eyes can take in more light, making for better quality night vision.
Its the exact same thing with skin color, they're adaptations based on climate. Light skin produces more vitamin D and light eyes take in more sunlight, both things are beneficial in cold climates in the northern hemisphere which have long dark winters. Dark skin protects against the sun and dark eyes take in less light, which are beneficial in hot climates with a lot of sun
wait is blue really consider the most attractive eye color, because for me it's definitely brown, and the darker it is the better, but that might be the grass is greener thing because my eyes go from green blue and grey depending on the lighting, and I don't really see much in those colors in comparison to the shades of brown or very deep green
U mean eyes like mine?
I was told by a blue eyed colleague of mine that she loved my hardwood eyes... its like jimmy neutron saying sodium chloride instead of salt but this case is for brown

My eye color is really weird in some lighting they are gray/green with hazel central heterochromia but in most lighting it all gets washed away and my eyes look really dark gray almost black. For whatever reason i get a lot of compliments about it.
I have brown around my pupil and the rest is usually blue but in some lighting people say it's green. I don't really get complimented on the colour but more so the pattern, the brown is kinda speckled especially in my left eye.
