Pageant Makeup Tips from Pageant Designs

• Apply a foundation that is close to your skin color. If you have flaws like blemishes or dark spots, use a concealer under your makeup. Make sure your makeup can stand up to the bright lights of the pageant stage.
• Put a light powder foundation on top of that. Using a loose powder with a brush helps it to sit on top of the skin.
• As far as your eye shadow goes, choose a light base color that matches your skin—not your dress!
• Apply eye liner from the outside corner and work towards the inner eye on top. You can do half of the lid or the entire lid. Do the same with the bottom lid. If possible, choose a waterproof eye liner.
• Fill in your eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil. Be sure not to go much darker than your natural color.
• Finish up with mascara on both your upper and lower lids. Curl your lashes before you apply the first coat. Curl them again afterwards. Like the eye liner, choose something waterproof.
• Lipstick will complete your look. Don’t go with anything too bright! Choose something that will last longer than just a gloss.
