HOW TO LOOK LIKE A BEAUTY QUEEN

    Beauty queens are one of the most admired and influential people in the world. They are more than just beauty and brain; they are individuals with substance, personality, and advocacy. Interested in transforming yourself to be one? Here are the things that might help you to be a beauty queen with the winning glow.

       THINGS TO LEARN TO LOOK LIKE A BEAUTY QUEEN

1 Wear make-up that enhances your natural beauty. You should keep your makeup pretty natural, so that your beauty shines through. That being said, beauty queens always wear some makeup. Learn how to apply makeup too. 

• Always wear lipstick at the pageant. You can go for a subtle look – say nude liner and a non-tinted gloss – but beauty queens don’t let their lips stay bare. For a more vibrant look, line your lips with color, like pink or red, and then fill them in with matching lipstick.
• It’s good to take care of your brows. Make them look natural, not overly exaggerated, but well-groomed and arched. Save the heavy makeup for the actual pageant or you could end up clogging your pores, which leads to acne.
• Other makeup that is commonly worn by beauty queens includes, primer, foundation, concealer, powder, blush, eye shadow, eyeliner, and mascara. Buy high-quality makeup. With a little research, you should be able to find quality makeup that doesn't break the bank. You want highly pigmented eyeliner that doesn't smear. Look for face powder that is triple milled, so it doesn't become chalky.

2 Make sure you have pageant hair and nails. Pageant hair follows a certain look. You don’t want your hair too short, for example, and you want it to look elegant and to have some volume.

                      

• Pageant hair should have some style to it. It shouldn’t just hang there limply. To get volume in your hair, use a round brush. Divide the hair into sections. Work a section at a time. Try spraying a little dry shampoo into your roots. Then, use large Velcro rollers before you style your hair. Put hair spray on them and leave them in for 20 minutes.
• You also may need a hairpiece. Choose one that isn’t too over-the-top. You could also add a few hair extensions if you want fuller hair. Make sure they don’t look obvious. Hairpieces can be a good idea when your hair needs some length or volume. Make sure they match your hair color and texture. They can also make your updo look better.
• For nails, you want to make sure they are not chipped or with peeling paint. Instead, go for an elegant look at a nail salon, like a French manicure. Don’t forget your toes! Get a pedicure.

3 Buy the right wardrobe to complete the pageant look. You need to go to the pageant with the right stuff in your suitcase. You will need a bling-covered dress, for example. Think quality over super trendy; try a nice department store.

• Make sure your clothing matches your age. If you’re a teenager, for example, you wouldn’t want to do a too-cute routine in a cupcake dress. If the pageant participant is your young toddler, you don’t want to cake on makeup or put them in too mature of a dress because judges won’t like it, and you child is too young for that anyway.
• Try to pick an evening gown that matches your personality but is not too eye popping, trashy, or bubbly. For example, a gown that is too low cut or too short or has too much bling might be seen as trashy by some judges. Gowns that are too bubbly would include those with excessive feathers or tulle. You want an elegant look. For a swimsuit, pick a solid color two-piece bikini. Don’t make it too low cut. For an interview, you should choose a classic dress with a belt, a sheath, or a skirt suit. Don’t show cleavage.
