This exercise is from one of my favourite sites, BBC Learning English.
Don't print page 1 as it's just the title page and print page 2 before you do the exercise as the answers are on page 3!

Adjectives for describing appearance
This is a good list of adjectives to describe appearance.
http://www.esolcourses.com/content/exercises/grammar/adjectives/appearance/vocab1.html
I like it because it explains which adjectives are impolite to use and gives alternatives.
I quote:-
Important note: be careful using negative adjectives when commenting on a person's appearance, as some people may be very offended by them! In most situations it is safer to use a neutral or positive adjective (for example slender instead of thin, large instead of fat).
There are some gap fill exercises but they are very simple.
However, the matching quizzes are good.
Make sure you've studied the list of adjectives first, though!
