The exact opposite to the clarity, this is where the diamond experts/dealers care, and most people over look the issue as far less important than the rest of the 4 C's.
The width and depth proportions of the diamond as well as the polish and symmetry will determine the amount of light that is reflected as described above.
Polish and Symmetry
In addition to the proportions of the diamond, both the polish and symmetry affect the beauty and brilliance. Poor symmetry due to uneven alignment of the facets will cause the light to be misdirected and therefore not shine out of the face of the diamond. Un-smooth facets or poor polish will cause the surface to look dull and may cause the diamond to look cloudy. For a beautiful diamond look for Excellent, Very Good and Good polish/symmetry grading.
What's right for you?
Like with most of my recommendations, the middle ground is usually the way to go… You don't have to have an ideal cut diamond (as you probably won't see any difference), however you should really stay away from "Fair" and "Poor" cut grades (in some cases also "Good" cut grading).
