A virtuous smile is really beautiful when it radiates naturally. It is impossible to create that real beauty with makeup, it is a gift of the Spirit.
Modesty is a must for outward-looking and inner beauty.
If you are disappointed with your appearance, look at yourself through the eyes of people who love you. The hidden beauty that loved ones see can become a mirror for self-esteem.
A man who wants to marry a virtuous woman does not look at her through the eyes of a "natural man" (see 1 Kings 17: 7).
She is captivated by the true beauty of a woman's pure and happy heart. The same goes for young women who are looking for a virtuous young man.
