It matters more what’s in a woman’s face than what’s on it.

Meaning of the quote

This quote means that what's inside a woman, like her personality and character, is more important than how she looks on the outside. The way a woman thinks and feels is more valuable than her physical appearance or makeup. In other words, a woman's inner qualities are more meaningful than her outward appearance.
