Maybe. But an interesting topic in itself. Many cultures draw unrealistic porno art and many has they own reasons to go that way.
Well, the western stylized artwork usually just exaggerates existing features. Like the breasts are 5x bigger than a real person would ever have, the eyes twice as large and more round, puffy lips, etc.
But overall, you can still recognize people as they are. Blondes are blondes, redheads are redheads, and so on.
However - the OP is praising the asian artwork as more "beautiful". So let's just analyze that in the context.
Literally every single physical feature in anime is the exact opposite of how typical east asian women look.
Everyone can figure this out very easily by themselves, but here are some examples to verify:
Typical east asian woman:
Eyes: vertically narrow with an epicanthic fold
(you wouldn't be perceived as east asian without them)
Nose: usually a soft and wide "baby nose", or triangular wide, or columnal wide, rarely curved and pointing downwards
Jaw: either round or flat rectangular
Body figure: ideal classical youthful figure, with small breasts and low hip-waist ratio
Body height: very short
Eye color: brown
Hair color: black
Typical anime woman:
Eyes: completely round, oversized eyes
Nose: so small you would suffocate, or even no nose at all
Jaw: pointy and curved
Body figure: comically voluptuous
Body height: gigantic
Eye color: any color
except brown
Hair color: any color
except black
So if we assume that beauty is defined by actual women, and east asian women are beautiful as they are, this leaves two possible conclusions:
Either
A) asian artists are designing their women ugly on purpose, because everything they do is the opposite of their own women
OR
B) asian artists hate asian women
Your pick.
