In the novels, Arwen's beauty gets played up a lot more than Galadriel's. If you include the supplemental material, both are described as having legendary beauty, but I think Arwen probably comes out better.
Having read through both of their introductions in Fellowship of the Ring, I can't find anywhere that Tolkein explicitly claims either of the two women as the "fairest in Middle Earth". Both are merely described as incredibly beautiful, even for Elves.
Arwen doesn't get much time in the novels; we see her in Rivendell at her father's council meeting, where Tolkien gives us this physical description:
The braids of her dark hair were touched by no frost, her white arms and clear face were flawless and smooth, and the light of stars was in her bright eyes, grey as a cloudless night; yet queenly she looked...
Arwen, daughter of Elrond, in whom it was said the likeness of Luthien had come on Earth again
Such loveliness in a living thing Frodo had never seen before nor imagined in his mind.
(Fellowship of the Ring, Book II, "Many Meetings")
Tolkien describes Arwen as the most beautiful thing Frodo had ever seen before, and as exceptionally lovely in general. He also compares her to Luthien (not surprising, since she's related), who was routinely described as the most beautiful women (man or Elf) to have ever lived. That sets a pretty high bar for Arwen's beauty.
When we get to Galadriel, though, we get almost nothing physically about her:
The Lady no less tall than The Lord, and they were grave and beautiful. They were clad wholly in white, and the hair of The Lady was of deep gold;
(Fellowship of the Ring, Book II, "The Mirror of Galadriel")
Later, at the mirror scene, Galadriel makes herself much more beautiful, when Frodo offers her the ring:
She stood before Frodo seeming now tall beyond measurement, and beautiful beyond enduring, terrible and worshipful. Then she let her hand fall, and the light faded, and suddenly she laughed again, and lo! she was shrunked; a slender elf-woman, clad in simple white
Neither of these descriptions of Galadriel make her seem particularly stunning; we certainly don't get any description of her as the most beautiful thing Frodo had ever seen. Galadriel is described as tall and powerful and impressive, in contrast to Arwen's fragile perfection.
However, the story of Galadriel and Celeborn appears a few times in the Unfinished Tales, where Tolkien has this to say:
Even among the Eldar she was accounted beautiful, and her hair was held a marvel unmatched. It was golden like the hair of her father and of her foremother Indis, but richer and more radiant, for its gold was touched by some memory of the starlike silver of her mother; and the Eldar said that the light of the Two Trees, Laurelin and Telperion, had been snared in her tresses."
All of the focus here seems to be on Galadriel's hair being beautiful without match, while Arwen's comparison to Luthien would encompass her entire look.
