Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.

And Cinderella said to the Prince "Do you love me because I am beautiful, or Am I beautiful because you love me ?"
Aren't the people you love, the most beautiful people in the world. They may not be so to the others.
Beauty is very subjective. We judge a person's beauty based on our own perceptions. Perceptions which may differ person to person. Perceptions which are built on our instincts, upbringing, culture , background and practical experiences. To me, short could be cute , To you it may be unattractive.
A person however physically unattractive may be most appealing to you after you get to know him. His nonchalance could intrigue you. His innocence could make a special place in your heart. You may find an unconventional personality very challenging and attractive, even though others may find him unacceptable. Each to his own. A person's personality which complements your own could make him or her attractive to you. Every person is special in his or her own unique way. There is beauty in everybody. Only if one have eyes to appreciate the beauty.
I remember having read a story about a cosmetic firm which floated a competition encouraging people to write about and send in a picture of the most beautiful lady they knew. One of the competition entries was brought to the notice of the CEO of the firm. It was by a boy of thirteen. The boy had written ' Delima is the most beautiful lady I have known. She lives just across the street. She waits for me every evening after my classes and bakes the most delicious cookies for me. She talks to me and motivates me when I am low. She listens to me when I wish to be understood. She has the most beautiful smile and the face of an angel. I would like to be married to a lady like her when I grow up.' Enclosed was a picture of a 80 year old lady seated comfortably in a cane chair. Her wrinkles, toothless smile and eyes beaming with content marked her face. The CEO remarked that he could not use the picture. It would show the world that the firm's products are not necessary to make a person beautiful.
It is, no doubt, the beauty in the eyes of the beholder which beautifies you and me more than any make up could.
