Persiphone has told you the right thing to do; to let the readers' imagine that perfect someone you're describing. However, with what she said aside, here's how I would describe him if I were to write in a first-person point of view:
His face was different than many. It spoke volumes of mystery, cleverness, and sympathy. It was a work of art. The way his auburn hair sparkled in the sun, making a shade of golden and red, combined with the glow in his beautiful hazel eyes was perfection. His lips were another flawless beauty. They were secrets with tenderness buried within. I have never seen someone as perfect as him in my life.
I hope you like it. I couldn't elaborate more since I wanted to leave that up to you. And besides, I'm a guy, so I couldn't really get it into extreme perfection.
PS: You don't have to use all what I described in your story. You can use it at different times, for example when he kisses the main character you can describe his lips, instead of describing everything all at once.

If you explain your whole character within the first few pages, there arent going to be any little gifts throughout the book. It is like a surprise when you find out something new throughout the book, gives it a little kick. And voltaire once said the secret of being a bore is to tell everything, so i guess if you want to be boring then you could tell everything about your character.

Just drop hints and let the reader fill in the blanks. Boyish is a general term that would imply fuller lips and shaggy hair for most readers.
Maybe later when (or if) he kisses anyone, you can mention his full lips. You don't have to do it all at once.

Often that is a BIG mistake., You are better off under-describing your characters and allowing your readers to visualize. You don't have to describe him down to his hair and his full lips. Let your reader make up their own mind of their perfect guy. Not all readers are going to agree with you that the particular person you are describing is sexy. Let them visualize their own. Remember what Shakespeare said. "When we speak of horses, see them".

hair can be shiny,dull, shaggy, straight, long, short for starters and color goes with the story and character...whatever texture you choose for the hair as well. Make the hair reflect who the character is shown to be through his actions. Describe with cocrete detial and adjectives...that's what drives the story.
