I can't really agree with this point of view. In my opinion, there is much more to life than beauty.
Sure, it would be "easier" to wake up looking like Brad Pitt, but aren't you getting bored of those benefits at some point too?
Do you think a model still feels happy when someone tells her that she's pretty? She's heard it too often already.
The media is putting so much pressure on young girls nowadays, that they don't even know what their true value is.
An applications like Snapchat Filters, that instantly photoshop away any imperfections, are making it even worse - of course a young girl would prefer a picture where her face was retouched, instead of a normal one.
Then they look at their own face through snapchat and think "I could look like this.. Why DON't I look like this?" And then they get even more self-conscious.
I have written a whole post about this if anyone agrees with my opinion.

Would love to start a discussion about this, I'm very passionate about this topic and believe that far too many people are choosing beauty over brains nowadays!
Completely agree with your view, women are taught that beauty is everything, when it really isn't.
Very interesting topic!
Also agree with your opinion.
The prominent persons "we" look up to are not even real. Fake lashes, many beauty operations and even hair extensions. We should think about that beauty doesnt last very long but our soul last forever.
