Exotic; Not Classic, Not Ugly
 6.5 I hate using airbrushed/Photoshopped pics but she looks stunning here, and especially exotic
 I actually thought it was Georgia Jagger at first.Kawaii's rating:
 
6.8  Similar to Audrey... the eyes are waaaay too Asian-looking to make her classical looking. Also, she has Cupid's bow-shaped lips and a very round face (which is another Asian trait, for Chinese, I think). Kawaii's rating:
 
8.7  Probably the most mistaken person ever for classic beauty. Classic style did not make her a classic beauty; she looked far too Dutch and Asian (though she was not) to be classic. Kawaii's rating:
 
6.8  Nordic women, contrary to popular opinion, tend to lean towards exotic more than classic. I'm not sure why but people (Americans especially) tend to think blonde hair is classic instead of exotic, especially with light eyes, even though brunettes with blue eyes (Megan Fox, Adriana Lima) are all called exotic! Kawaii's rating:
 
6  Ironically, even though her size makes her popular with Americans, facewise, she isn't so much, and isn't usually considered exotic, although many other classical-looking Hispanic/Latino girls like Adriana Lima, Vanessa Hudgens, or Eva Longoria all are. Coincidentally, they are all also thin. Kawaii's rating:
7  Like Gisele, I find that German or part-German women tend to be maddeningly, beautifully exotic. Some might call them masculine but if looking so strong-featured yet decidedly feminine makes you a man, I wanna be. ;p Kawaii's rating:
7.4  Keira and Natalie are widely considered classic beauties, and until recently I was in that majority. It wasn't until someone pointed out Natalie's unusual Jewish looks with her beautiful honey cat eyes and wide jaw were exotic did I realize they both were. Keira may be full English but she looks too much like Natalie with her sexy eyes and square cone structure to be classic. Kawaii's rating:
 
7.8  I consider her to be both exotic and classic. I'm not sure how to explain why, but I do. She isn't a typical classic looker like Adriana Lima or Halle Berry but she isn't so exotic looking she's considered ugly by many either, like with Mageina and Jennifer Carpenter. Kawaii's rating:
7.4  It's funny how different siblings can be. Zooey Deschanel is overrated (to me) and very popular but Emily is underrated (next to her little sister anyway) and is mostly popular just with "Bones" fans. Zooey is a comedic hipster movie actress; Emily is more of a wallflower who sticks to TV dramas. Zooey has classic doll looks with very trendy coloring; Emily is more exotic-looking and is a much lighter brunette with multicolored cat eyes. Kawaii's rating:
8.3  Why Adriana Lima of all people is considered exotic but not Doutzen I don't know. I guess because of the coloring? Kawaii's rating:
7.9  OK, I'm disregarding the title... I do find her very ugly, but she IS exotic. Kawaii's rating:
 
3.1  OK, I do find her kinda ugly. Her kind of exotic looks are not my type. You may not want her on this list but it's silly to deny her being exotic. Her looks (lazy eyes, nose, cheekbones) are unconventional in how they look, making her exotic. Kawaii's rating:

Nice to see some other people know the difference between exotic, classic, beauty, and ugly.
and amanda, OK, I get it, you wanna stalk and b*tch. I'm so glad I blocked your freakishly immature self. And yeah, sorry, I dont know what this "symbolic" crap you're pulling out your butt is, but their features are unusual, so they are EXOTIC. COLORING =/= WHAT IS EXOTIC OR CLASSIC FEATURES- a big nose, a strong jaw, freckles- are. Taylor looks Asian, Kirsten has very small features on a wide face, Ali has sharp Nordic/German looks.. I could go on.
Durrrr. Stop being so psycho and act your middle-age.
And please, show me anyone who looks a thing like Demi. Even if they do, how exactly does that make her not exotic? Audrey is, but Penelope Cruz, Audrey Tautou, Calista Flockhart and Anna walton do and they look nothing alike (except for Calista and Anna, who are twins).
Every oblique eyes (e.g. Taylor Swift) instantly remind you "Asian"? That seems a little weird.
Also weird, what's a Jewish look?! There are Polish Jewish and Chinese Jewish people- and they do look quite different.
And I found it odd to know how it's hard for you to find Adriana Lima Exotic.. She couldn't be any more exotic.
coral- no, there aren't "mistakes". as the others have said, this is opinion, correct? And no, her eyes are very Asian-like- small, elongated, almond-shaped, slightly upturned, prominant lids, therefore yes, naturally, she DOES remind one of an Asian, especially with her round face. Sorry, but I find it a little weird you find such a very common opinion weird. Or rather, I think you just want to pretend it's weird just because you don't think she looks Asian because she's such a white girl. If she had black hair everyone would be gushing about what an exotic beauty she is.
And Adriana could not be further from exotic. http://kieferfan.com/photos/adriana-lima-photos-54.jpg There is nothing unusual about her at ALL; I see girls like that all the time off the street, same for Megan Fox, who seems to be her slightly more attractive twin. Once again... your coloring doesn't make you exotic (at least, I assume you like everyone else who's vehementaly defended her supposed exotic-ness. I've no idea why people stubbornly refuse to accept that), your FEATURES do. Her features are extremely common and rather bland. I'm not saying no one can find her attractive; I'm saying her facial features just aren't ususuan, because they aren't. So many American and Brazilian girls look like that, especially with the straight hair and tanned skin too. Or your heritage... ugh, that's annoying. waaaay too many people hold the belief that being ethnic makes you automatically exotic, no matter how you look. it does not.
so only 2? that's "so many"? =\
And Audrey Hepburn looks somehow south-east european.
Michelle is pure perfection and AnnaLynne McCord is just...cute.
i liked this list, but the constant referral to almond-eyes being "asian" made absolutely no sense whatsoever. considering that almond eyes are the most common eye shape--whereas ASIAN is an eye shape of its own--you may want to recheck the qualifications for "asian". again, nice list, just ... definitely not agreeing with the whole eye shape thing.
I mean, if you had absolutely no idea what Adriana's heritage was, or if she were just plain Irish/Spanish/etc. (only ONE or two instead of a bunch) you wouldn't still say that, would you? No, because you couldn't.
yeah, I thought of taking Benson off. her eyes are upturned (and she has a lazy eye too) and her face is pointy. she also reminds me of a more attractive Scarlett Johansson, whose eyes are also a bit exotic. I dont know.
I personaly love classic beauties, like Audrey Hepburn,Troian Bellisandro and Natalie Portman. So thanks adding them :)
also average looking (to you) or has had plastic surgery has nothing to do with it. Scarlett Johansson for example is very typical looking except for her eyes.
And thanks, but they aren't classic, or else I wouldn't have added them =P Well, maybe Natalie. I should probably take her off.
