In my opinion there is no right answer to this question, tastes can differ drastically.
That being said, I'm a psychology student, so I'll try to give you the objective answer (not sure that's what you're asking for, but here it goes.)
The current consensus within the scientific community is that averageness 'defines' beauty, for both men and women. What this means is, if one would take all faces of all women, layer them on top of each other, and cancel out all 'irregularities', the 'perfect' face would emerge. This also by itself includes symmetry, as the average face will always be perfectly symmetrical.
Secondly an interesting fact is that most men prefer women slightly 'less skinny' than what the average woman thinks is most attractive to men.
Both of these notions have been repeatedly tested and proved through experiments.
Furthermore there are some evolutionary perspectives on attractiveness. Young and healthy women are considered to be the most attractive, as they seem to be the most fertile, which in turn increases the male's chance to bring forth healthy and strong offspring (this might sound a bit cold hearted, and I agree, yet it a widely accepted theory within the scientific community of psychology).
Moreover, it is often said long legs are more attractive, but as I stated before this is just opinion, and can differ drastically amongst different men. I for one don't give a damn about the length of a woman's legs, it is completely irrelevant to me regarding beauty. One could go on about any other body part and come to the same conclusion.
Then there are the so called pheromones, which are substances secreted through a person's skin, which can be (subconsciously) smelled by a different person. Depending on whether it smells 'good' to the person, the other is regarded as attractive or beautiful.
Lastly the more characteristics people share, the more attracted they are to each other, and the more beautiful people rate each other, regardless of their actual appearance. Thus having similar clothing styles, taste in music, physical appearance, etc. all facilitate attraction.
The most important thing to know is that beauty only exists in the 'mind's eye'. The concept of beauty does NOT EXIST outside the human mind; things just "are"; they don't have qualities untill a person judges an 'object' or person. Considering we all have our own unique brain, thus having unique minds, we all have different understandings of what beauty is.
Hope this sort of answers your question :)
NB: You can check out these wiki pages below. There's probably some stuff I forgot to mention, as it's a pretty broad subject. There's a whole "sub-discipline" dealing with sexual/physical/emotional attraction within psychology, called sexology, and it's not really my preferred field of interest haha.

This is utterly pointless since it's mostly subjective. But my list is as follows:
No fake tan
No fake t*ts
Keep in shape, there's no excuse for being a disgusting flabby slob
no smokers
Someone that is hygienic, floss every hour and then
I like pale skin, but this isn't a must. Generally the darker the skin, the less I will find you attractive.
Unless you're obviously hideous, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I am liable to find you attractive. I'm bemused by what most men and women find attractive, so don't think there is one type. Personality plays a crucial role for me.
-Proportion. Breasts, waist and hips in proportion, subconsciously the hour glass hip to waist ratio is preferred, but as long as you're proportionate whether a pear shape, pencil or apple shape, it's all good
-Nice smile
-Healthy hair, skin and nails. They don't walk around saying "Damnnnnn, did you see her nails/hair?" but they are attracted subconsciously to health
-Healthy overall(mentally, sexually and physically)
-Healthy body, toned
-Good hygiene
-Well put together when the time or occasion calls for it. They may not care how you dress when you lounge around the house, but at dinner parties, special occasions, put in the effort to dress up, do your makeup and hair and nails as well
-They don't care about makeup, hair coloring, surgery or anything else like that as long as you don't over do it

I want my women just to care about her appearance in a healthy way, but not a obsessive/worrisome way to the point where she'll have a panic attack and not in an arrogant way to the point where she'll feel that she feels she looks better than any other woman out there. That is how I want my women to feel and look like. Hope my response helps out your question!
