Beauty is natural in people. In the physical sense, natural beauty comes about when no accessories are added to the person’s features. This would consist of no makeup, lip gloss, eye liner, hair extensions, etc. I think that all those things are not need to show beauty. The natural tone and cleanness of your skin is beautiful. Natural beauty can be determined by someone’s character as well. I think that being you is a sense of beauty. It helps to display who you are. Many people portray or act in a way that they think is beautiful. However, if they only be themselves, their own natural beauty would show. Being you is a natural character of beauty. Natural kindness and generosity plays a key role in showing a natural beautiful personality and character.
Beauty can also be seen in a nature aspect. The world’s physical sense is beauty. The clouds, flowers, waterfalls, rainbows, animals, and many things are natural things concepts on the earth. We find these things beautiful. Things that occur naturally are unique. They are deemed innocent, harmless, and a beautiful sight to see. They give u a sense of beauty and excellence.
Beauty can be perceived in many ways. Beauty is both unique and natural. Beauty can be both a physical and characteristic. It can also be seen as the nature of our environment. I believe that we are all surrounded by beautiful things, and that we all display concepts of beauty. There will never be a real definition for the word beauty. I am sure that as time goes on, more views and ways to perceive beauty will come about. To me beauty can be summed up in one word. Natural!

As the very popular saying goes, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!” Many people have different views on what they consider to be beautiful which is why many people that I would view as unattractive are very beautiful in someone else’s eyes. The world today defines beauty based on outward appearances alone. You are not beautiful if you are not physically attractive. The world’s value beauty as being thin and tall with long hair, hair does not make a person neither does the color of their skin. A clear complexion, shiny hair, straight teeth, radiant skin, and correct proportions are all elements of beauty. Unfortunately, numerous people cannot be all of these things and they are forced to believe that they are not beautiful in the eyes of others.
Another saying that is very popular is, “Beauty is only skin deep.” I do not believe that this statement is true for the reason that with all the cosmetic surgery, technology and make-up that we have in the world today beauty is bought and not natural. Beauty can also be determined by a person’s personality and not necessarily by their looks because the way a person presents him or herself can make all the difference in the world. The most unattractive person can also display beautiful characteristics and it will conceal their appearance. Is beauty only conveyed in one particular color? No, African Americans are produced in many different shades, vanilla, caramel, mocha, coffee and chocolate.
Black is in fact beautiful and there is no other race that can measure up to the beauty that is displayed by African Americans. In my opinion, people should not focus only on the outside appearance because that can damage ones self-esteem. Parents should raise their children to appreciate the thoughts and actions of a person opposed to the looks of a person. Our priorities in American today are not at all in order but maybe one-day society will learn that beauty is not everything.

Beauty is in everything. But it is also in the eyes of the beholder. Beauty can be the sound of three harmonies in a concert choir, it can be a combination of Christmas lights on a Christmas tree, or it can be integration of different ethnic groups in a big city. Personally it is really no specific definition for beauty; because there are different ways to identify it. For example in my eyes, a more simple way of finding beauty would be through art drawings or through jewelry you can buy at a store. But a more Difficult way would be taking the time to consider seven or more years of your significant other being there you through the thick and thin, staying up night after night to help you through any and everything you have gone through, being faithful, honest, original, trustworthy towards you while cooking, cleaning, going to work, paying bill after bill, attending each and every parent teacher conference, and protecting his or her family each and every day; also known as love.
Beauty is everywhere. It can be hidden and preserved or it can be flamboyant material or popular Name brand clothes. People can or appear to find the relevance in beauty by how they showcase it. Some people are more natural or down to earth people. Some won’t focus on what don’t appear to match or correlate they just wear what they have and go on about their day. While other people appear to overdo the amount of colors or ensembles they own, by wearing a combination of things simultaneously.
Last but not least beauty can be touched. A blind man can find beauty in what he feels. Beauty can be in religion. It can reflect how Christians are touched by the word of God and how some people communicate with him through prayer and reading the bible. It is unmistakable they people chose to define beauty whatever way they please. But it is not a mistake that Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

Beauty is a quality of pleasure that given to the mind or sense. Beauty can mean a bunch of things to different people. The dictionary defines beauty as, “feature that is most effective or truefulness”. When a few people were asked to define or describe beauty they gave several different ideas/thoughts such as miraculous, happy, feelings, argument, trust, sex etc. In my opinion beauty can be thought of in the same way; when you have that person that can satisfy your physical, emotional and/or social needs.
As a person who experiences this feeling of beauty, it is an amazing feeling. The best thing about beauty is happiness. When you have that person in your life that makes you feel like problems and troubles don’t exist, and happiness and joy are the only options. It is a miracle to have beauty in someone life. Like me and my girlfriend although we may have petty arguments we know how to work out our differences, but at the end of our argument we always remember all happy time and the beauty of our relationship. This is a person who I can share my innermost thoughts with, and they support all ideas that I have. When you can have someone that loves you, flaws and all, it is the most beautiful feeling in the world.
On the contrary, beauty can be thought of as an amazing emotion, it can also have its downsides. The two most devastating downsides to beauty are pain and hurt. Beauty can make you do some crazy things to make your partner happy. An example of this would be going for broke to fulfill ones desires. With beauty there also come obstacles. When one cannot handle the emotions that come with; it brings misery, pain, and anguish.

What is beauty? By: Delrio Vanzallas

When posed with the question "What is Beauty", the typical man might turn to you and mindlessly shout out the name of some overrated and over praised supermodel or actress. But being a man of high intellect, I know the truth behind the smoking mirrors. I know that to define beauty I would need more than just a mere matter of seconds to properly formulate a response to this question.
You see being a man of maturity has taught me that beauty is more than teh young, attractive, half-naked woman on the cover of every magazine. Beauty is more than just the highly praise picture painted by this century's Picasso or Michael Angelo.
They say that beauty is anything that brings pleasure or great satisfaction to the mind. By far I think that beauty is much deeper tahn that. I think that beauty is anything and everything that motivates, explores, creates any and everything that makes us think. For instance, have you ever looked at a soda bottle and wondered, "How did this bottle gets its shape?". Have you ever wondered what made that very bottle. Beauty is the bricks that we call home. Beauty is the mind in itself. How it works? Beauty is the woman herself, regardless of height, weight, race, color orgeneration, the strength of the woman that people ever so often tend to forget. Beauty is creativity. The simple fact thatwithout some man or some woman's creative mind, nothing would exist. Beauty is freedom. Beauty is Mathematics, cold, austere, numerical and sometimes as useless as it it may be. Supreme in itself, Learning is Beauty.

This is my best friend Shermaine Powell and she is 21 years
old. I have been friends with her since 2003 and she always loved taking pictures. She is
not what you would call an artists but she loves to take picture and decorate them. She
doesent even ask your permission. She just takes a picture of you and decorates it and
post it up on myspace. She does it to her friends as well as her enemies. Everyone knows
if you get into an altercation with her, you are likely to have funny pictures posted up of
you on the internet. She is not a bully she is actually very nice but she is addicted to
photos. She tells everyone I created the monster because she just wanted to have as many
pictures that I have but its an addiction for her now. She has a personal photographer to
take the photos for her. He is an artist as well. His name is Raphael Martinez. He is a
are the artists of this photo if you look at it. He tells the subject to position themselves to
make the photo look appealing and that is art. She looks and photographs well and takes
the photo home and decorate the photo beautifully which is also talent.
