True beauty goes far beyond these vain and superficial layers.

Just because someone chooses to wear makeup doesn't mean that they're vain and superficial.

superficial

There is more than one definition for the word.

Context clues in the original comment ("superficial" used in conjunction with the word "vain") gives way to this particular definition.
