    Welsh people tend to have dark hair mostly red or brown and dark eyes but there a quite a few people that do have blue eyes. Welsh people have round faces and cute round button noses.

      Do not listen to the previous answer, it was a load of rubbish. Red hair and button noses are not a typical Welsh trait. Look to the Basque people to find a resemblance as the ancestors of the Welsh originally came from the Iberian peninsula and both peoples share the vast majority of their DNA.

        If I could figure out how to paste a picture of myself, I would show you. I'm American but all four grandparents are of Welsh descent. We're ALL tall, blue or green eyes, light/golden brown hair, medium sized noses (i suppose) and peachy fair skin. Round faces, high cheekbones. I've been looking up where Welsh people originally migrated from. I've heard Iberian Peninsula before too, which is interesting because I look absolutely nothing like the people I saw in Spain last year.

        Most indigenous Welsh people tend to have thick, wiry, very dark hair; and green / brown / hazel eyes. Red hair is more prominent in North Wales. They are not as fair or blue-eyed as the English, as Offa's Dyke and the Welsh mountains served as a barrier when the Saxons invaded centuries ago, and populated the British Isles with fairer genes.
        I have lived in Wales all my life; and have almost a pure Welsh ancestry back to the Roman era. (I have an author for an uncle, who researched our ancestry). I have no English or Scottish ancestry; but some Irish from the 8th century and one Belgian ancestor during the late 19th century. There was no blonde in my family before the Belgian; and even now, nearly all of my blood-relatives have black or dark red curly, wiry hair and green or hazel eyes. The only blue-eyed relatives I have descend from the blond Belgian.
        So I suppose if you want to look at what Welsh people look like, there is no better family to look at than mine! (Ignoring the Belgian, of course!)
