Do you want to look beautiful even without make-up?
If your mind is pure and virtuous and you display a pleasant demeanor toward everyone, then your facial features will naturally carry the beauty of righteousness.

One little soybean makes a lot of soy milk. It gets turned into tofu which is white and juicy. You can fry it, deep-fry it, boil it and it all tastes good. Why kill pigs and slaughter cows and sheep?
