Define beauty

I googled the definition of the word "beauty" to try to get a clear meaning of the concept that everyone can agree on. But, what I found, as expected, was that there is no set meaning. It's like trying to describe a color to a blind person. You can't describe the color yellow to someone, it just is. Sure there's a dictionary definition, but the actual concept is difficult, maybe impossible, to fully get across in words.
Google defined beauty as "a combination of qualities, such as shape, color, or form, that pleases the aesthetic senses, especially the sight." But what qualifies a quality as beautiful? How come some things are beautiful, and some aren't? This got me really thinking, "how is this magazine going to get this concept across?"

But then I think about what this magazine is supposed to do; it's supposed to be able to be published monthly, so the concept has to both appeal to the audience, and have a broad enough topic that can have multiple issues; which is why i feel this magazine should focus on informational articles and tutorial articles on makeup and beauty.
