What is beauty?

Beauty is a word with many definitions.

For some, a combination of qualities such as color, form, shape, and energy forms an aesthetic.

For others, beauty is anything pleasing to the senses.

Across the planet, beauty is described differently and can apply to anything from people, objects, natural phenomena, landscapes, or works of art.

Check out these facts about beauty below:

The first deodorant was invented in 1889.
Red hair is the thickest hair color by strand.
The use of cosmetics goes back thousands of years.

How long have humans studied and pursued beauty?

Beauty is an essential element of life on Earth.

Beauty inspires, encourages, and promotes life.

Humans have built great civilizations in the pursuit of beauty.

If we look at ancient Kemet or Egypt, we see how beauty was a driving force in creating one of humanity’s most successful empires.

Akhenaten is one of the most well know pharaohs to rule over Egypt.

He reigned from 1353-1336 B.C.

Akhenaten is considered to be a wise and practical ruler.

When it came to beauty and femininity, he once made the following observation:

“When virtue and modesty enlighten her charms, the luster of a beautiful woman is brighter than the stars of heaven, and the influence of her power it is in vain to resist.”

Akhenaten understood that beauty is a driving force of civilization, and those who possess it are at an advantage.

Does beauty come from the outside or inside?

Beauty is subjective.

What some find beautiful, others may find repulsive.

Beauty does come from the inside and can be reflected in the external world.

Motivational speaker and author Charles Glassman once said, “Create a beautiful inside, and you will look beautiful on the outside.”
