Handsome is of course a matter of taste, but I'm quite happy with mine and I can promise u can make a beautiful/handsome Dunmer (goes with every race/gender) :
(gotta use old pictures, since facial expressions are laggy atm and everyone looks grumpy)

Elves are tricky since they have very extreme features. The easiest way to start is to put the body sliders at medium (go back to tweak later) start with the bald head and no scars, makeup or tattoos and choose the skin tone first. The most prominent elf features, depending on the look you want, can be toned down to be more humanly attractive. Give him a shorter chin, narrow the cheekbones. All those typically "elf features" just need to be tempered a bit like @CirithValaria did, very nice Dunmer btw! Then, like the poster above, with the chin, nose, cheekbones made smaller, the prominent ears look great!

Balance is the key here, taking notes of what looks off when you leave the house compared to the creation screen would help too. Once you're out of the house, go to different locations in the city, in different buildings and lighting types. That will really help you get a good idea of where the problem features are. I've done it myself!

I can post a Dunmer guy with sliders later today or tomorrow as well

Update: Urgh... I made a Dunmer hottie and lost my screenshots. I'll give it another shot though!

As someone who has spent much time creating female characters, I can only tell you will not find any pages to help you. Everything is based on trial and error. It is true that does not help the difference between the screen of creation and the end result in the game. I lost literally weeks searching for something I liked.It depends on the physical characteristics that you like and time you are willing to lose until you find what you are looking for.

When you try several times you will see that it will become increasingly easy going distinguishing what works for you and what does not. Do not be afraid to try extreme, it is often what works best. For the occasion I created my first male character: a dark elf. Hope this can help you.

See you in Tamriel

I took a stab and created a male Dunmer who seems ok right now, I'll post pics tomorrow.

Here is my new storage alt.
Her name is Rose.
I think she's a hot Dunmer.
She is a hot Dunmer.
Because, y'know, the whole flame talent passive.

Circu already appears on @CirithValaria 's post but I want to show her off a little bit more.

For me many female Dunmers look somewhat angry or bored. I wanted to create a cute one. She's my first main character in the game and I'm quite happy with her looks.

Dunmer, ugly? No way! I love how my Dunmer looks. (My character, Valmion Hlaalu on the left with the Magistrix, played by Sebaya, on the right.)

My precious Sorceress in her early stage.

this is Xal'Kar i think mine looks pretty cool
