This questions has several layers to it. I'll approach it head on without dealing with any side issues. Augustus Caesar was more successful than his uncle, Julius Caesar. I am defining "success" as it affects ancient Rome. Augustus united the empire in a way Julius Caesar could not. Augustus swept away all opposition and created what is now called the Pax Romana. Augustus ( in relative terms ) brought a good degree of peace & prosperity during his life time and the affects lingered on for another 200 years. With sole power he could invest large amounts of money to build public works, reform the bureaucracy and reduce the number of legions under arms. Julius Caesar's life was cut short. When he controlled Rome, defectors worked on his demise. Due to time, he had not enough of it to crush his opposition. Thus he was unable to come close to his nephews accomplishments.

Some of Augustus' achievements included:Starting the Pax Romana, or the golden age of ancient Roman civilizationReforming the Roman tax system to make it more honestReforming the legal system by creating a set of laws for people who were not citizensChanged Rome from a Republic to an Empire Augustus cared deeply for his wife and was the adopted son of Julius Caesar.

Roman writings and statuary give the best clues. Julius was tall for a Roman, and handsome in a regal sort of way, although he was balding. Augustus was short, even for a Roman, and more of a pretty boy. Think of Julius as the Sean Connery type, and Augustus as the Tom Cruise type, and you'll have a fairly good idea. And remember that handsome is as handsome does.
Julius Caesar

It is a bit complicated. Caesar Augustus was originally a man called Gaius Octavius. When he was adopted by Julius Caesar, following Roman naming customs, his name changed to Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus. He quickly dropped Octavianus from his name and his contemporaries referred to him as Caesar during this period. After the deification of Julius Caesar in 2 BC he added Divi filius to his name, which became Gaius Julius Caesar Divi Filius (Son of the Divine). In 27 BC the senate bestowed titles on him and his name became Imperator Caesar Divi Filius Augustus. Imperator was an honorary title which meant winner in battle and Augustus, which usually translated as venerable. This was more of a religious than a political title.Historians use the name Octavius for the period before his adoption by Caesar, Octavian for the period up to his becoming emperor and Augustus for when he was emperor.
