How to Sign "Beautiful" in American Sign Language (ASL)

In ASL, "beautiful" is signed by extending your dominant hand with fingers spread, placing it in front of your face with palm facing in, then moving it in a circular motion outward while closing your fingers together. The sign comes from seeing beauty and showing you like it. The circular movement shows how beauty is everywhere around us and in many things. This sign works in any situation. You can use two hands to make it stronger, but most people use just one hand when talking normally.
