How do you define Beauty?

Question

How would you personally define beauty? What makes a person truly beautiful?

Answer 1

I sometimes define beauty as what's on the inside like if you are happy and confident about yourself.I also sometimes define beauty on the outside but sometimes that doesn't matter like if you see someone thats ugly and fat with weird clothes you may think that's not beauty but if you actually get to know them on the inside and talk to them you may realize that they are actually beautiful not from the outside but the inside. If you see someone flashy and rich with nice clothes on, they are maybe beautiful but maybe only on the outside if you get to know them there maybe greedy and a cruel person on the inside. So there beautiful on the outside and ugly in the inside.So I define beauty as beautiful in the inside not on the outside.

Answer 2

Personality

Answer 3

Personality

Answer 4

One person can't define beauty for another because we all see people differently. I see beauty when one has a great personality, is kind and caring. I have seen a lot of beautiful women to look at but they are so often into themselves too much to have a care for anyone else. That is not always the case but ones beauty often goes to their head.

Audrey Hepburn's Beauty Tips

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.

Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

Sam Levenson

Contrary to what some may think, Audrey Hepburn did not write this beautiful poem, Sam Levenson did. Levenson wrote "Time Tested Beauty Tips" for his grandchild, and it just so happened to be one of Audrey's favorite poems. She read it to her children on the very last Christmas Eve she spent with us here on Earth.

Answer 6

Beauty isn't a category you can put something/someone into, or something that can be defined. Everyone's perception of beauty is different, making it more of an opinion.
I'd say the general meaning of something being "beautiful" is pleasing to ones eye, but is an individual opinion, not something that is used by everyone about that certain thing.

Answer 7

Just wanted to say this before answering your question. Everyone is beautiful when it comes to physical appearance in my opinion. After all it was the Almighty who created us. When we compliment or criticize an artwork, it's not the artwork we are truly criticizing but the person who created it. Same goes for us humans. When we comment on each others looks, we should alway realize that it's the Almighty who created each and everyone of us. And to answer your question, Beauty is skin deep, it goes beyond looks. It's the character of the person which makes them beautiful. For example, someone who puts others before self.

Answer 8

Physical beauty is much easier to definea and, therefore, easier to answer than your question "What makes a person truly beautiful?"

We almost all recognize physical beauty, although I may place a higher value on a woman's smile and hair than another man who might prize a woman's legs and bust. But "truly beautiful" implies more than physical beauty and it is more difficult to answer because we lack a collective consensus about the ideally "truly beautiful" person. (Unlike "America's Next Top Model" or "Make Me A Supermodel" whose judges have very definite ideas about the ideal physical beauty.

So maybe I can answer your question this way. I find the characters played by Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in the movie "Casablanca" to be "truly beautiful" because at the pentultimate moment in that movie they find the strength to transcend their own desires and subjugate them to a greater good. Similarly, I find the life of Mother Teresa, which is filled with self-sacrificial love, "truly beautiful," but also largely unattainable by those of us who are not saints.

What makes a person "truly beautiful" seems to me to closely tied to the notion of self-sacrificial love. You can practice self-sacrificial love without being a saint, but all saints seem to be paragons of this exemplar.

I know this answer is vague, and possibly unsatisfactory, but it's the best I can do. At the very least, I think it puts you closer to the ballpark of a satisfactory answer.

Answer 9

Depends on what type of beauty your talking about. Most everyone determines beauty by there looks but I think we use that along with the way they speak, and treat others. Truly beautiful to me is if they a nice looking, but are truly wonderful and caring about others.

Answer 10

I just don't think of it as Beauty. There is Physical Beauty, Intellectual Beauty, Beauty of the Soul and a Beautiful Personality. When people think of beauty, of course they think of physical beauty first, because that's that is the first thing you see.

I think it's different for all people. It all depends on their values. What really matters is your opinion of yourself. But if you really care, then yeah... generally you have to be fit, you have to be sensitive, you have to know how to deal with people, confident, brave, people more of less like happy people with a sense of humor, who is knowledgable about the world and isn't an asshole.

Nothing has changed.
