Some phrases

1. Is correct to say:


"He was Asian-looking."

2. And which sounds best:


The former expression, or "he had Asian features".

Yes.

Christine Christie2. And which sounds best: The former expression, or "he had Asian features".

Both work. (2) sounds slightly more technical. In ordinary everyday usage I would probably choose (1).
