What is the evolutionary purpose of looks being so important? I mean it doesn't even correlates strongly with physical health and fitness.

it think it started at random
there's not purpose driving selection for looks, just positive feedback loop that sustains it self

Nah the real positive feedback loop is selecting for physical fit and smart individuals. Those who go for the pretty boys would quickly reach a genetic dead end

Here is your answer

People likes all kinds of people based on factors at random. Ex: people are attracted to obese and fit people. I'm nature, being attracted to obese people would mean your offspring would get die since your fat partner would be useless at defending or feeding your children. People that are attracted to fit people this are selected for survival due to environmental factors and such.

Yeah but I'm saying strictly about face, something that has no apparent correlation with evolutionary fitness.

that is a factor too (based on REAL natural selection, failed individual simply dies)
but also does pure fashion because the biological meme caught on (sexual selection, failed individual became incel)

You can read a lot of a person out of their face. For example certain facial cues like the facial width, and jaw development tell a lot about a mans testosterone levels during development. Those correlate with health, fertility and behaviour patterns.

Same with women, if they were healthy during development they have a more hormonal face shape (shorter face, bigger eyes for example)

Also, you can read out of someones face if they're sickly, old, tired, unhappy etc. in a fraction of a second. Even babies look longer at conventionally attractive faces.

Theres a lot of people that look really masculine and really ugly at the same time.

that's true, but you'd rather look masculine and ugly then ugly and feminine

ugliness is more due to imperfections in the face rather than testerone/estrogen markers but generally the more of the proper hormone you had during important stages the better you'll look. if you look at pic related you'll notice that although these faces are averaged over a set of people but they look somewhat above average for looks due to the imperfections getting averaged out
