Beauty is more than eye candy. Stop stereotyping!

I do not translate it literally, as it is a slogan.

Who says beauty has no real substance...


说明:
Usually when we refer to a woman who is a 花瓶, I believe there is a connotation that she is judged by her external looks and has no inner beauty or substance.

But advertising or marketing slogans might variate here.

skin deep


说明:
The term 花瓶 has been used to describe actresses who have a pretty face but no substantial acting skills. I recommend translating this sentence this way:

谁说漂亮就是花瓶,拒绝标签 --> Who says beauty is skin deep? No stereotyping please!
