Beautiful - Aesthetically pleasing, Delighting the senses or exciting intellectual or emotional admiration

To me pretty means the superficial, pretty is more synonymous with cute. Real beauty comes from within. Pretty catches your eye immediately, Beauty is deeper, more striking, more memorable. See the difference from Dictionary.com
1. pleasing or attractive to the eye, as by delicacy or gracefulness: a pretty face.
1. the quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind, whether arising from sensory manifestations (as shape, color, sound, etc.), a meaningful design or pattern, or something else (as a personality in which high spiritual qualities are manifest).
