Pretty tricky question. Ever heard of beauty is in the eye of the beholder? Ultimately everyone will describe beauty differently, because everyone sees things differently. To one person a curvy model may be beautiful, but to another a stick figure model would be. Also it can depend on your outlook on life, some people are able to find beauty in anything, while others are never able to find it.

Bodily beauty can be defined as the deeply pleasurable experience of someone else's or one's own body. While the beauty of a person might include the person's character, spiritual quality, intelligence, and morals, the beauty of a person's body generally will not. Bodily beauty can be perceived through any of the five senses, and may be concerned with parts of the body, the whole body, or movements. Usually, however, beauty of the body refers to the visual impression of someone's body as a whole.
The origins of interest in bodily beauty were explained by Sigmund Freud, the founder of modern psychology, as being sexual drives: through a transformation, sexual attraction is moved away from the primary sexual characteristics (reproductive organs) and instead to the secondary sexual characteristics (e.g. women's more rounded forms and breasts; men's facial hair and deeper voices).
An anthropological explanation for the human interest in beauty has been offered by Robert Brain: human beings want to set themselves apart from non-humans, and therefore make alterations to the body that animals would not be capable of making. Admiration turns these alterations into marks of beauty. Exactly which alterations are admired depends on cultural preferences. Beautification strategies of one culture might, in another culture, be perceived as mutilations and as marks of ugliness. Body decorations can also mark the successful initiation or the identity of a person. But making a difference between humans and non-humans is, according to Brain, basic to those scarifications, tattooings, and colourings of the body that are associated with beauty.

Beauty is a unique something that you can't quite put your finger on but causes an overwhelming feeling when you realise it's ..'beauty'! There is a difference between attractiveness and beauty. After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Beauty is a characteristic present in a person, place, object or idea that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure, meaning or satisfaction to the mind or to the eyes, arising from sensory manifestations such as a shape, color, personality, sound, design or rhythm.
The subjective experience of "beauty" often involves the interpretation of some entity as being in balance and harmony with nature, which may lead to feelings of attraction and emotional well-being.
In its most profound sense, beauty may engender a salient experience of positive reflection about the meaning of one's own existence.

When it comes to defining beauty one might envision that famous model walking down a catwalk with a frown on her face and some fancy designer clothes on her back. Or maybe that guy in the latest action
movie shirt-less that just takes your breath away, making your heart pound in your chest.
Handsome equals Beauty just depending on the person thinking about it.
The missing questions to think about when ask what defines Beauty?
How about a woman's joyful smile lighting up her face with the thought that finally, she is pregnant?
Or how about children seeing snow for the first time, ever?
Or rain needed to save a crop to a farmer?
Or even snowcapped mountains at sunset to a skier?
Or dew on prized roses at first morning light to a first time gardener?
How about the eye's filled with tears of the woman you just asked to marry you , again after 25 years?
How about love?
Beauty is so many things to so many people who are all so different.
The Dictionary left out a few words when it defined Beauty. It left out "what appeals to the heart". The next time you might be asked if something is beautiful, ask yourself, does it appeal to my heart? If
it does, you just defined beauty!

The combination of qualities which make something pleasing to the senses esp the eyes. Such a subjective thing.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Yes it's a well worn phrase, but it is true.

beauty means different things to different people.some pple think it's all about physical appearance,others think it's more about the person inside,others think it's a combination of both bt i think beauty has little to do with appearances.it has a lot to do with the inner person.a beautiful person to me is one who is unselfish,loving,loves life,sympathetic.these qualities are better than looks anyday.
