Apply Makeup for a Beauty Pageant

Beauty and talent are only parts of the formula of winning beauty pageants. Standing out in a crowd of beautiful, talented people is also important. The best way to attract attention is to have a polished look as if you have already been crowned. Pageant judges expect makeup to be applied correctly for the stage. Follow the steps to get that winning look. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

    • 1

      Select makeup that matches your skin tone. Understand that makeup that is different from your normal skin tone will be a bad contrast under onstage light and private interview lighting.

    • 2

      Apply transparent loose powder that is not easily noticeable to eliminate shine.

    • 3

      Use a lighter color foundation on the eyes that accentuates your eye color. Put a small amount of foundation below the eyes so your eyes will stand out more.

    • 4

      Put on eye powder. Select earth tones for the stage, except when you are using a really bright color. Choose eyeshadow for the stage that is a lot darker than you would for everyday wear. Understand that the harsh lighting tends to make people look washed out. Realize that the eyes are especially important in pageants.

    • 5

      Apply blush. Put blush directly on the cheekbone. Begin at the ear and brush toward the nose. Work from the top downward. Realize that using blush adds color to the face to prevent a washed out look under bright lights on stage. Add a small amount of blush to your nose and your chin.

    • 6

      Use eyeliner under eyes, right above your eyelash line. Understand that eyeliner makes eyes stand out and appear to sparkle. Use mascara to lengthen eyelashes.

    • 7

      Remember to apply lip liner and lipstick. Select a shade that is not too bright because light shades can make lips look thinner.

    • 8

      Top the lips off with a elegant, subtle lip gloss that matches the tone of your clothes.

Tips & Warnings

  • Avoid putting blush below the cheekbone.
