Beauty is interesting and brought topic that you can't arrive in one answer. What someone sees as beauty may not be so with another person's. Few weeks ago, I and my friend were arguing about beauty. This guy was totally off from physical appearance and concluded that your attributes and characters are criteria for beauty. If I have to define what beauty is, I will go contrary to the dictionary meaning of beauty which says, "anything appears aesthetic senses, especially to the sight. Which simply means, looking attractive, good curves, good shape, smooth body, good looking, charming and so on.
I do not agree with the idea that that only outer beauty is real beauty. Looking at appearance of someone and concluded that is beautiful, is not enough to justify beauty. Beauty is both inner and outer part. "Beauty is not quality in things themselves. It exists merely in mind which contemplates them", David Humel
Being beautiful is a mindset: how you think and what you think of yourself, how you view things around you, how you make judgement of things with true sincerity, How you affect souls and your environment, how you handle pressure.
Beauty is more than what you look like or how pretty you are. If you are the most pretty person in the world without good characters and attributes, you are the most ugly person on earth.

Beauty comprises of two sides- the object itself and watcher. Object is a thing that watcher has a lot of things to say about while the watcher is the one making judgement about the object he/she observed.
Some ladies are fun of mirror. The look on theselves more than 10 times in a day, they use several products to hide those dark spots and pimples on their body, they wear something that will bring out their shapes, they use brazilian hair that is up to $100 and scrub those rashes on their faces while painted it with colours to hide those rashes. They forget that beauty is more than that. The forget that beauty is unbiased quality which a life on this Earth possess as a special gift that should be respected by everyone irrespective of any appearance.
Beauty is characters, attributes and personality: how you behave, what you posses, how you react to situations. Measuring beauty is more than looking at the physical appearance, it majorly comprise of those inner values; I mean your intrinsic factors.
Beauty is emphaty, innocence and virtues: How you feels about people around you, if something happens to them. It is also a factor to measure your beauty. How truthful and innocency your are can not be neglected while measuring your beauty.
Beauty is smiling: smiling whatever situation your are. Though you are crying but yet smiling. Beauty is wiping off tears from your friends eyes, make them smile and never leave them alone in time of trouble or when they are sad.
Beauty is being a man or woman of your words: what you say is what you do. Being reliable and keep your words. Be firm with your words.
