  • Guys' Biggest Beauty Turn-Ons -- Revealed!

  • I know I shouldn't care if guys like my smoky eye look or the beachy hairstyle (made famous by this celeb) that I try everyday to master, but I just can't help it. Sorry mom! I know you always told me to embrace the looks I was born with and only do what makes me happy, but some of the time, okay, a lot of the time, I might just want to make the opposite sex happy (pathetic, I know).

  • If you're with me on this, you must see what came out of this survey of 200 hot dudes -- well, I don't exactly know if they're hot because I haven't seen them, but a girl can dream, right? They spill on everything from what their favorite fragrances are to what they love and hate about our hair. Here's what they said:

  • Break out your razor and body scrub

  • More than 44 percent of guys say that stubble on your legs is their biggest turn-off (runners up were stiff, fancy hairstyles with 28 percent and overpowering fragrance with 27). And when asked what's sexiest about a woman, soft, smooth skin also got a big response with 41 percent (84 percent of guys said it was important but not necessarily the most important turn-on).

  • Ditch stubble with this TotalBeauty.com reader fave razor.

  • Teeth Whitener Anyone?

  • Even though 51 percent of guys say that pretty eyes are their biggest turn-on, 53 percent say they notice a woman's smile first when looking at her face. About 45 percent notice a woman's eyes first.

  • Hold Off on Wearing Color Contacts

  • Once guys have torn themselves away from your gorgeous smile to check out your eyes, they really vary over which hue is their favorite. Blue eyes got the most votes with 38 percent, but green came in a close second with 29 percent and brown and hazel were right on their heels with 18 and 15 percent respectively.

  • Hot Pink Eyeshadow? Maybe Not

  • Turns out, most guys aren't into the hottest makeup trends. Only 1 percent of them like dramatic makeup (but 13 percent make an exception for dramatic eye makeup and say it's their favorite), and only .6 percent like red lips (28 percent say red lips are their least favorite makeup look).

  • Their ultimate least favorite makeup look: it's a tie between lots of blush and bright eyeshadow at 32.5 percent.

  • These celebs would definitely scare the crap out of most dudes.

  • Keep It Simple

  • Overwhelmingly, guys like us to keep it simple. About 90 percent like minimal makeup and 75 percent say a natural look is their favorite. And about 10 percent of guys don't want us to wear any makeup at all!

  • Trick him by copying this makeup look -- he won't even know you have anything on.

  • Take Your Time with that Natural Look

  • While guys want women to look simple and natural, they still want us to put in a little effort. More than 60 percent of guys say they like girls who look like they spent 30 minutes getting ready. About 31 percent like girls who looked like they spent five minutes getting primped and only 8 percent prefer girls who look like they spent an hour primping.

  • Don't Forget Your Flat Iron during that 30-Minute Primp Session

  • Turns out, more than half (55 percent) of guys prefer straight hair on women. Wavy hair came in second with 36 percent and only 9 percent of guys like curly-haired women best. (If they only knew just how "natural" that straight hair is on most women, they might change their minds.)

    • I love to go blond during the summertime, and it suits me well. A great head turner...
