Where are you the most beautiful?

Recently, I've seen a live presentation based on a letter that has gone viral. It's about this father who is at a make-up aisle at Target, and he decides to write this letter to his daughter about beauty. Here's the link to the letter if you feel like reading it. Dad's Letter to Daughter.  After reading this article, watching this live presentation, you can't help but to focus on the last part few sentences he says. Where are you the most beautiful?
Kids all around the world today are caught up in the physical appearance of beauty. Watching these elementary students shop in the make-up aisles, and the make-up and cosmetic toys they can purchase at young ages... it's all overwhelming. To what extent has society made us think the joy in our lives comes from the beauty we are able to display? And to what means is our beauty rated by society externally and not internally? Does our appearance matter more to others than our nature? Sometimes as a teen myself, I wonder.. What is society trying to make stand out to us? Sure, they may say things like "oh, beauty is from the inside out" or "you are beautiful just the way you are". But cosmetic companies need the advertisements, they need the profit, they want to make you feel inadequate so you purchase their products to feel beautiful. Do our lives revolve around the fact that we compare our beauty to those around us, and only through physical appearance? What would happen if we all rated beauty from the inside, and appearance wasn't even significant? How would our world change? 
All in all, each person is beautiful. Hearing the message from the Father to the daughter, and seeing the live performance really makes it stand out. we are all beautiful in our own way. Therefore, where are you the most beautiful?

P.S I'm sorry for the potentials of insulting anyone with my perspective on this matter. Know that it is just my perspective, and I am more than happy to know that people may be opposing of it.
