Beauty how is it even possible to define. Is it something that can be defined? If you really want to get technical, beauty, as defined by Mr. Webster is 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). Or the combination of all the qualities of a person or thing that delight the senses and please the mind.
Word Origin & History
Beauty
late 13c., from Anglo-Norm. beute , O.Fr. biaut (12c., "beauty, seductiveness, beautiful person," Mod.Fr. beaut ), earlier beltet , from V.L. bellitatem (nom. bellitas ) "state of being handsome," from L. bellus "pretty, handsome, charming," in classical L. used especially of women and children, or ironically or insultingly of men, perhaps from PIE *dw-eye- and related to bonus "good," bene "well." Famously defined by Stendhal as la promesse de bonheur "the promise of happiness." Replaced O.E. wlite . Concrete meaning "a beautiful woman" is first recorded late 15c. Beauty sleep "sleep before midnight" is attested by 1850.
Beautiful is not really any better defined cause honestly it is pretty much the same damn thing
To even begin to try to put beauty and things that are beautiful into set categories is probably the single most impossible thing on the planet to do. There is no one way to define what is beautiful for all the world to fallow. There is no way to put in order things that are and are not beautiful. What someone could find to be truly beautiful, another might find truly repulsive. There are somethings that are in this world that everyone on the planet finds to be beautiful and there are things that we all find to be ugly. This is just the way things are and there can be no forced change in this
Fashion has always been used to enhance what we find to be beautiful about ourselves or what one may think is beautiful for another. Make up serves the same purpose. It makes what an individual finds beautiful about themselves stand out more. i personally have never been a big fan of make up of any kind. yes at times it makes the wearer look breath taking... but to much, which is often time the case, it makes one look like a clown...
tattoos however are diffrent. they are mot make up, they are most often not used for fashion. tattoos, in my mind, have always been ment to imortalize a specific moment or event in ones life, or as a right of passage/ coming of age, as they have been used for thousands of years. though, everyone see's tattoos in a different light, this is simply how i see them...
But beauty is so much more than clothes, make up, fashion and design it is said that beauty is only skin deep but I find this to be wrong. In my mind beauty is a combination of the body, the soul and the mind coming together to be seen by the world. How we see ourselves as beautiful is the only true opinion that counts. We do the things that we do to make ourselves who and what we are because of who we are; if we did anything differently we would not be ourselves. No one has the right to tell us how to dress, what make up to wear, how to act we are all individuals and unique in each of our own ways.
beauty is all in the eye of the beholder...
