Spoken from a woman who used to model and was considered very beautiful, I can tell you that truthfully I started seeing a few lines on my forehead at 45. A few years later, once premenaupause started, I noted it was really hard to keep slim like when I was younger. No more lines on the face, but I'm a little chubby now. Of course, I don't care. I'm a grandmother and a foster care mother.
Don't want to look like a teeny bopper anymore.
Still, men don't realize how very lucky they are.
No hormone problems, no child bearing years, no problem with huge mammaries and gravity. Lets face it, no one stays beautiful forever. But as the beauty slowly fades from the face, inner beauty can shine through and people will see what was hopefully there all along, see past the facade to the real woman.

I have no idea. I think that it really depends on how well you live your life. For someone who is overindulging in all kinds of vices their entire life, physical beauty will fade away pretty early ( my guess will be in their early 20ies ). However, if you live a clean life, enjoy everything you do and take good care of your body and soul, you can stay pretty attractive for the rest of your life. I had seen a gorgeous 87 yo lady: her smile used to light up the room. I also know some pretty ugly individuals in their 20ies and 30ies. To me self centered individual with no passing thought about people who love him / her is disgusting. However, it is only my personal opinion.

BTW, I am 41 and still a model.

Depends on their genes. Usually around 35-40. Hispanic and Black women age slower for some reason so for them its like 40-45.

All ages are beautiful in women and men. How can one say that spring is any more stunning then autumn.
Life cycles are just that and beauty is a social construct that idealizes youth and dismisses the elderly.
Ironic but at one time it was the other way around.

Thats a bit like asking "at what age do men start to go bald?" - but genetics are primarily responsible.

Physical attractiveness generally? Too many variables - the above plus premature ageing due to to much time spent in the sun, smoking, nutrition, substance/alcohol abuse, stress...it's a long list.

Same thing, of course, applies to men.

The moment they think they are losing their beauty

Well, if you're talking about beauty from a perspective of sexually nubile, pedophiles say "eight is too late". Children crinkle their noses at women old enough to "bleed from between their legs". Most teenagers gag at women in their thirties who aren't anorexic or bulimic. Many men run away in terror from women old enough to have stretchmarks from pregnancy. Some people are disgusted by menopausal women who DON'T "bleed from between their legs" anymore. And, a few weirdos wouldn't touch women with a ten foot pole who have had a hysterectomy and have "dead-end" vaginas. Personally, I don't think a woman is beautiful until she's old enough to toss her breasts over her shoulders. You were talking about "physical" beauty, weren't you?

It depends greatly on the woman.

Some women never lose it.

Some women never had it to begin with.

I recall what I am told is a Chinese proverb, though I cannot track it down at the moment:

A pretty girl is an accident; A beautiful woman is her own creation.

EDIT

Shivers, I think you're beautiful, inside and out.

Depends on the age at which beauty was first acquired.

As soon as they become bitter.
For the ones who don't let bitterness ruin their lives, they stay beautiful forever.
Though looking at another answer, because I'm over 30, I must look hideous.
