This year's competitions showcased some of the most stunning beauties and diva-licious looks we have ever seen. What is the secret to crown-winning make-up? After some research, it seems the most successful contestants were those with a clean, girl-next-door look, and a touch of something more to enhance their best features.
Great skin is always the first step in a fantastic pageant look so staying hydrated, moisturized and sun screened can prevent most any blemish or sun spot before the big night. For eye colors, sticking to browns, beiges or even light pinks will help compliment your skin. Try your best to stay away from frosty or sparkly colors on eyes and cheeks as they tend to make a reflection on the skin. Set the look off with a liner and lip color similar to the eye, and finish it with a dab of gloss on the bottom lip. From there, a set of tasteful, but glamourous false lashes will complete the look.
In the past, full glitz and glamour was the attitude toward pageant make-up. This is no longer the case. Glamour make-up is not to be heavy and flashy, it should accentuate the contestant's features enough to be seen from a distance and last throughout the various rounds of competition without looking streaky or shiny.
To achieve the right look for you and your pageant, practice makes perfect, especially if you are not a pro with false eyelashes.
One of the best pageants for fresh glamour make-up this year was Miss USA. The winner, Miss California, pulled off all of the above tips flawlessly, but with a smoky eye twist on the neutral eye color by using some smudged black liner. Congratulations Miss USA! Here are some crown winning pageant looks from this season:
