The Concept of Beauty

The concept of beauty has always given me food for thought. I’ve always wondered what exactly is beautiful and what is not. Some people are not exactly attractive but still have a charm or attraction in them. Is beauty on the inside or on the outside? Inside; it is the heart and soul that beautifies a person while others may consider the appearance or facial attraction as beauty. Is beauty natural or can be artificially created? Let us talk about these aspects of beauty.
