If beauty is in the eye of the beholder and the eye of a beholder emits an
anti-magic field, does that make an anti-magic field beautiful?
Also, if you are standing next to a beholder and see yourself in it's eye, does that make you beautiful?

I think you have this mixed up.
The quote does not suggest that beauty is created from the eye of the beholder, it says beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. Thus, when you kill a beholder, and you cut up it's eye, the thing at the very core of the eye is beautiful. So beautiful that it will drive you insane, so don't do it.

so if i enlarged a beholders eye (big enough to fit around someone) and forced someone to wear it, they would be beautiful?

Only if they were 'in' it. Maybe a hat or something would work? Beholder eye of +5 Charisma (stylishly cut)?

No, because it's in the eye of the beholder, not outside of it.
If you made someone wear the eye, people would think they were weird.

Yeah, but you could hollow it out and wear it like a hat. Your head would be inside it, and pretty as can be.

ok, what if i made the eye completely encompass them. like one of those giant balls that people get in and roll down hills. then they would be inside of it. would they be beautiful?

i havent figured out how to close it yet, i guess a wall of force that has had its shape altered would work, or how the person would breath, but that isnt too important.

Live fast inside a beholder eye, die young and leave a beautiful corpse?

You see a giant eye. Looking through the pupil, you see a human figure inside. It's clearly choking to death, and is covered in beholder-guts. "I'm beautiful!" he chokes out, with what is apparently his last dying breath, as he then collapses on the floor.

And what's more, he was.

Staring at the body that lay there, you realize...
I would've followed this fellow to the ends of the earth, if he had asked me too. He's just that stunning.
You then proceed to take out your bottle of infinite air (or whatever it's called) and try it for yourself.

If our group ever fights a Beholder, I'm going to use that.

The eye stalks. Rays are quite beautiful. The best is disintegrate.

So does that mean that the beholders' anti-magic cone is powered by its inner beauty?

No, they are in fact powered by popcorn.
