Physical Beauty To Inner Beauty "Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart." Kahlil Gibran
Physical beauty and inner beauty are equally important. Physical beauty may be defined as one’s appearance, or personal hygiene. Inner beauty may be defined as one’s personality, or actions. Physical beauty and inner beauty may be similar in some ways, but also dissimilar in some other ways. They can be similar and dissimilar in ways such as, mind, body, and attraction to other people. Many people believe that it’s important to have a great physical beauty, because it shows that you care about you’re appearance and are willing to take care of yourself. Than there are others that don’t care what you look like, but its how you are in the inside, because it shows how you really are and people will tend to lean towards someone who respects and encourages. Inner beauty is about one’s personality and or actions. It’s the way someone acts, they can be kind hearted, thoughtful, understanding, and caring that makes them beautiful in the inside. It’s saying the little things that can make someone head over heels, or showing them how much you care for them by doing the small things like making dinner. People that have inner beauty are usually the one’s you want to talk to when your having a bad day, and are just wanting someone who is going to listen and understand you. Having great inner beauty doesn’t always mean that they also have physical beauty. Most people would say, “Inner beauty is superior over physical beauty.” Most people prefer inner beauty over physical beauty, because inner beauty is more crucial to most people. One may believe that inner beauty shows who someone really is, not who someone may appear to be to the naked eye. Physical beauty is nonexistent to one’s mind. Physical beauty does not allow one to show who they truly are inside to others. Physical beauty may be more vital to some than others.

    Mask Analysis

    People’s physical beauty is somewhat important to how they see themselves because it affects their confidence. Sometimes when people are nicely dressed, do their hairs or makeup, they feel more confident about themselves than they do if they didn’t. In our culture we almost see a lack of physical beauty or a physical deformity as a disability that prevents you from being like other people. We allow our confidence and self-esteem influence our abilities. The more confidence a person has the less limitation they put on themselves. A person with a physical disability or deformity might feel less free or confident about themselves because how society might perceive them. For example, the first time Lucy is wearing her mask when she is celebrating Halloween she says, “I felt such freedom: I waltzed up to people effortlessly and boldly.” When she wore the mask for the first time she realized how self-conscious she was about her appearance and how that affected her confidence. Some people would probably feel the same way Lucy did if they had faced what Lucy had through her life. Although she was a brave and strong person for fighting her disease, the thing that affected her confidence the most was her looks.…

    Beauty is something that can be interpreted completely different from person to person. A famous quote that goes along with this perfectly is “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” I think a person’s inner beauty should be taken into account when deciding whether or not a person is beautiful. Wikipedia’s definition of beauty is, “a characteristic of a person, animal, place, object, or idea that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure or satisfaction” while Oxford Dictionary states, “beauty is a combination of qualities, such as shape, color, or form, that pleases the aesthetic senses, especially sight.” As you can see, inner beauty could be paired with Wiki’s definition and outer beauty could be paired with Oxfords. Of course, there is no way of telling which definition is more correct, but, for the majority of today’s society, outer beauty seems to be the primary focus.…

    Every time we turn on the television, open a magazine, or scroll through Instagram we are bombarded with images of what the media has deemed beautiful. It is not surprising to see a tall, fit, blonde wearing Guess jeans. Now, there are more diverse people that represent the media. We no longer have a one sided view of beauty. Standing next to Candice Swanepoel are models with curves, short models, and models of color. For example, Winnie Harlow is a high fashion model. She is black, which is one way in which she breaks the standard beauty stereotype, but she also has a condition called Vitiligo. This condition affects one’s skin. It creates patches of skin with the absence of color – the skin looks very white. Another notable person that had…

    Inner beauty, on the other hand, doesn't usually diminish the physical attributes of an individual, unless the person judging the beauty is shallow and only enjoys the physical beauty of an individual. A lot of times, the inner beauty, or personality, of someone outshines the physical beauty. How many times have you seen someone that is not necessarily physically "good looking" win you over as a friend based on their personality? Humor, kindness and communication skills are important assets in determining your inner beauty.…

    Many people have heard of the old saying that “beauty comes from within.” Although beauty is difficult to define due to differential views, the majority of people may agree that it is a person’s personality that makes them beautiful. According to Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, beauty is“the quality of being physically attractive.” Although this definition is somewhat true, it is not all that defines the term. Due to a new uprising in pop culture, beauty is now defined only by the attractive, physical traits a person has. Also, this generation attempts to sell beauty as a vapid and superficial pursuit that exists solely to sell products and wag tongues. Beauty is actually precisely identified, purposeful, and has…
