Beautifull is a word that can be used to describe any person, object or thing that is appealing to the aesthetic senses (mainly sight). A person’s beauty can be based on their symmetry, age, colour, skin, race, bone structure, personality and weight. A beautifull object can be anything from a sunset to a rose, a tree to a diamond or a building to an outfit. People often define beauty based on what they think is attractive and this is usually dictated by popular culture and social norms, such as how big someone’s eyes or their body shape should be.
However, not everyone will agree on what is considered beautiful. For example, some people may find the colour pink to be beautiful while others may not. There are also different definitions of beauty based on whether the object or person is good or bad, such as ugly, pretty, charming, attractive, handsome, hot and sexy. Some people believe that beauty is a combination of things, including the symmetry of the face, hair, eyes and nose; and this is known as the ‘golden ratio’. However, other theories suggest that beauty is defined by the harmony of the individual parts of a person or object.
Having a deep and rich quality that evokes admiration. Exquisite things or beings are exquisitely designed and crafted, often creating a feeling of amazement and wonder due to their intricate and delicate qualities.
Exhibiting a fantasy or fantastical quality; otherworldly. Surreal beauty evokes a sense of amazement and wonder due to its fantasy and fantastical qualities.
Charming and enchanting in a seductive or deceptive way. Beguiling beauty is captivating and enchanting, often creating a sense of enchantment and admiration for its seductive or deceptive qualities.
Inspiring and uplifting, often making people feel encouraged and optimistic. Joyful beauty inspires and uplifts, often uplifting and encouraging people to be positive and hopeful.
A beautifull person is kind and respectful, has a great deal of self-confidence and is able to express their emotions and feelings. They are a guardian of their friends and family and can stand up for themselves with strength.
Studies have shown that people’s perception of what is beautifull can be influenced by their environment, the world around them and their own beliefs and values. For example, a study on perceptions of nature showed that when people have a high level of Nature Relatedness (NR) they are more likely to see natural beauty. However, most people spend more time in urban environments than in nature so their NR may be lower and this could affect what they see as beautifull. Another factor that influences perceptions of beauty is people’s art interest. This has been found to show a pattern where people with more art knowledge tend to rate experiences in the human-made category as being beautifull while ratings for the natural category decrease. This is thought to be because art knowledge can lead to a more critical stance when judging beauty, e.g. recognizing that not all art is beautiful.
