eye candy

Eye candy: someone or something that is attractive to look at, but is not serious or important

Beauty is more than eye candy. Stop stereotyping!

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

Beauty is only for watching.

Who says beauty is only for watching?! Beauty refuses to be stereotyped.

Who says beauty has no real substance...

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

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!
