Beauty

"Beauty is only skin deep". It means that physical beauty is superficial; existing on the surface. An interpretation of the phrase is that a person may look good on the outside appearance, but actually he/she is maybe an unpleasant or cruel person at heart.

Now let me explain the phrase and its meaning:

• Beauty is only skin deep. Because you can only tell whether a person is beautiful or not on the outside (which refers to the skin) thus the phrase's meaning.



• Like I mentioned in the above point, you can only tell whether a person is beautiful or not on the outside. Therefore, you cannot tell whether a person is beautiful on the inside (basically means the person's character; whether it is good or not).

The phrase "Beauty is only skin deep" has a meaning somewhat like the phrase "Do not judge a book by its cover. Be sure to "not judge a book by its cover" because "Beauty is only skin deep"!
