美好 (měi hǎo) describes abstract, ideal things like life, future, or memories — it is not used for a person's appearance. 美丽 (měi lì) is more formal and can describe both concrete beauty (scenery, a woman) and abstract beauty, while 漂亮 (piào liang) is the everyday word for 'pretty' (people, clothes, things).
