I use this quote a lot.
Lets say that you see a guy infront of you that everyone thinks if ugly, but you think hes super cute.
Youre looking at him through YOUR eyes, meaning, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
It practically means what I just said. Hope I helped (:

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" does not have anything to do with God.
It means that the beholder (the person looking, seeing, judging, etc.) is subjective, and there is not only one definition of beauty.
Something I see as beautiful, you may think is ugly, because each of us has our own opinions.
It's just another turn-of-phrase, like "whatever floats your boat!" or "six to one, half a dozen to another" they all just mean that what is right for you may not be right for me, and if one person thinks you're beautiful, it doesn't mean everyone else has to.
Hope that helps clarify a little bit. English is confusing sometimes!

That means only 'God' or the Creator can determine beauty. You shouldn't judge people because the only one capable of judgment is the Creator.
EDIT:
The person above clearly got this one right. When people have said it to me, they had always geared it toward something religious, haha. They probably just tied it in with not worrying how people judge you because only God can judge you or something. I never use phrases like that because I rarely know what they really mean.
Here are a couple of sites I went to that explained further(;
