Christopher is using an online translator; they don’t work.
Intrinsic used the incorrect forms. Pulchritudinis means ‘of beauty’
Here’s what I would say, although there are many ways to say it:
pulchritudo potestasque muliebris
pulchritudo is beauty or excellence. If you want a word meaning only appearence, you can substitute forma.
postestas is power or strength (with no masculine connotations)
-que means and (it should be attatched to the potestas).
muliebris is an adjective meaning feminine; other’s might suggest feminea, but I don’t think it is as flattering a term.
effeminatus decor quod vires… feminine beauty and strengh. there ya go…
The latin for strength and beauty would be "vis et pulchritudinis".
But you should also be aware that in Latin, the word for ’strength’ is also the word for ‘manhood’.
