I like it when a character's looks are gradually revealed through the story, and when it's relevant. That way you still get a full picture, leaves stuff that is not explicitly relevant to the imagination, and it feels more like a discovery than a dry feature list.

Characters in stories feel more like people if you allow the reader to get to know them over stretch of time. And of course, like you said, it allows us to get to the meat of the story faster.
