Beauty Pageant Tips: From Former and Current Pageant Queens

A Summary of My Research on Beauty Pageant Tips

In an effort to prepare my child for her second beauty pageant, I spent some time online looking for tips from former and current beauty pageant queens. Lots of time. Here are the beauty pageant tips that I found most useful.

Beauty Pageant Tip No. 1
Hire a beauty pageant coach:

I noticed that most of the girls who have won beauty pageants have coaches. These coaches charge approximately $100.00 an hour to guide beauty pageant hopefuls to the crown. Personally, I cannot fathom giving anyone $100.00 to coach a ten year old in a beauty pageant. I do feel they probably have good information though as most of them are repeat winners.

Beauty Pageant Tip No. 2
Natural makeup and hair: Most past beauty pageant winners mention that having a natural look that is age appropriate is the best way to go. A child should look like a child. A teen should look like a teen. An adult should look like an adult. If the beauty pageant contestants are under age 13, there should be no visible makeup at all. Hair should be in a natural style and out of the face.

Beauty Pageant Tip No. 3
Classic interview suit: Once again, the former and present beauty pageant queens suggest that the interview suit be a classic style, a color that works well for the contestant, and not be too flashy. You do not want your clothing to distract from what you are trying to say.
