I'm having terrible luck creating a good looking female breton and female imperial. I try putting everything in the middle at 10 and it still looks off. I'd rather not have to rely on preset 2 for female nord, if I want a good looking female character. I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder but what would be a good preset to choose for a fem breton/imperial.

(((Grunts)))

A Breton you say? Why not an Altmer?

(((Grunts even louder)))

Making a Breton beautiful is within the beholder's personality.

Really? I think female Bretons are among the easiest to make good-looking. They are cute by default! I think the first preset is pretty, so I would start with that.

When you choose preset, start by getting rid of warpaint, dirt, age complexions and scar, and choose a neutral hairstyle that doesn't cover the face. Then look at the face from different angles, especially the SHAPE of the face, since that probably is the hardest part. Lips and eyes are easy to change!

When you're tweaking the sliders, you can try things as
-narrowing the eyes slightly
-try setting the eyes higher/lower
-try setting the mouth higher/lower
-edit the height and width of the eyebrows (they change shape a lot by doing this, also the expression of the face)
And see what happens if you make the chin slightly longer or shorter (not too short though, I think that's a fairly common mistake!), the jaw more wide or narrow, the cheekbones higher/lower...

Coloring (skintone, blusher, eyeliner and so one) comes last together with scare and such.

Good luck!

Bretons are inherently old. I don't know why Forsworns can stay alive for so long when they quickly get to 40's faster than other men

Female Bretons have wrinkles that you can't get rid of no matter what.

I base most of my Breton characters off the first preset, it looks cute . Just mess around with the sliders a bit until you get a face you like.

The Bretons are cute but the problem is those damned frown lines which, unless you're on PC, you can't do anything about !
