I often headcannon that Rosalie’s “power” of being beautiful works like that. Fundamentally, she still has blonde hair and fair skin, but she is perceived to moreso match the standards of the person looking at her.
Like if someone from Brazil saw her, her curves would be extenuated. Or someone from the Burma tribe would perceive her neck as lengthened just enough to make her a natural beauty.
Making her beauty change like a chameleon.
I also believe Emmett is the only one who perceives her the exact way as she sees herself and that is part of what makes their love so strong.
Venom is supposed to make you incredibly beautiful when you get turned into a vampire. If someone from a time or region with completely different beauty standards got turned, would they think that they are uglier as a vampire?
I imagine so. Pale, sharp features, red eyes, beardless men and hairless bodies are not everyone's cup of tea. We see hints of this from Edward, who favourably compares Bella's flawed, human, appearance to his own inhuman one.
Having symmetrical features, even skin, and good teeth is going to be recognized as an improvement by most, though, so I imagine the problem for those who have different cultural beauty standards or else just different tastes is going to be that they don't like their new appearance or that they find it uncanny.
I also do imagine a lot of vampires experience body dysmorphia, as your human life is taken from you under what's usually going to be traumatic circumstances and you wake up in this body that doesn't loo, move, or feel as it should, that you can lose control over entirely, that doesn't sleep... add the fact that you don't like looking at your new face to all that and you have a deeply unhappy vampire on your hands.
