The search for beauty is an ancient one, dating back to cave-man-around-the-campfire days, when one beautiful woman out-dos the features of another woman. The popular concept of it has long centered on looks, which has been prized and won high favor. Monetary gain is also won in pageants geared toward appearance, by movie stars, and for performances on television. Commonly, the modern standard is based on visual appearance rather than more permanent qualities such as talent, character and strength.
Old sayings such as pretty is as pretty does indicates that humans ought to look past the pretty face and beyond the pretty features to find lasting, genuine beauty. Instead we should seek it looking inward of a person. Those hidden inner qualities should be evaluated to consider the invisible attributes and the outward look of an individual.
A current modern fascination is with reality shows featuring kids dolled up in pageant fixings. The kids are dressed in beautiful clothes and they are expected to act mannerly and grown up. This expectation does not allow for the children to express what behavioral specialists call age appropriate behavior actions and mannerisms fitting their age and stage in life.
To evoke a persons true potential for attractiveness, it is necessary to include two attributes. One is physical attributes, which are transitory at best, and the second is their inner gifts, which can grow for a lifetime. These lasting qualities should be nurtured and encouraged in young people as they learn to grow and thrive amid the impermanence of daily life.
An individuals own concept of beauty should be encouraged to extend beyond appearance, and should reflect in addition the qualities and feelings someone has inside themselves like love, respect and appreciation of the natural world. The ability to appreciate the serenity of nature arrayed in its glorious colors and diversity cannot help but elicit a sense of wonder.

The tones of the scale put into action by the talented proficiency of the players make for a beautiful sound which attracts to musically gifted and tone-deaf persons alike. The soothing and yet invigorating sounds of music have a resonant quality of it all their own.
Beauty in the world must be measured by more than just visual pleasures, because there is no set arbitrary measurement of this attractiveness, regardless of what others would have us believe. There is simply no available potion to consume to create it, whether it is color-scheme-based, appearance-based, or amenity-based. There is no set formula or pill that can be taken to make sure the results are positive.
So how can we as humans ensure that we become beautiful? We have seen that wearing the popular makeup or products do not do it, but what can?

Making the decision about what constitutes what is beautiful and remembering that is another way to begin.
