Answer 1

Hello, I was in a pagent back in March and had never done one..and placed 3rd runner up...It was exciting... my best friend alicia selby also placed 2nd runner up in miss teen usa..,because she won miss teen tennessee...
.she lives here in my hometown of sparta...let me give you some tips she gave me....


Franticly swinging or stiffly frozen arms can be distracting. Be confident and sure not to grab a hold of your gown.
• Smile big, smile often, smile natural.
• Please, please, please walk to the beat of the music. Don’t make something new up. It’s your time on stage, take advantage of it!
• Check the pageant guidelines for makeup rules. If you are allowed to wear makeup, keep it natural. Makeup should highlight a girl’s beautiful features.
• Get familiar with different types of turns. Prepare according to stage set-up, dress, and confidence of the girl. Don’t pivot or turn too slow or quick.
• If you have to be on stage for a length of time, don’t lock your knees. You could pass out.
• Your escort will come get you, don’t look back in a desperate attempt to get them to come get you.
• Listen to the emcee’s cues. These often tell you when to begin, turn, and leave stage. Know your contestant number!
• If you are worrying about tripping, it’s more likely to happen. Key to success- right length of gown and practice, practice, practice!
• Keep good posture throughout.
• Focus on the judges, but don’t stare them down. Also be sure to take notice of the audience.
• Don’t forget Model-T stance.
Section 2- Interview
• Practice before hand, but try to not be too rehearsed.
• Always go in optimistic. There is nothing to be nervous about!
• Smile! Be happy you are there.
• Eye contact with judges shows confidence.
• Know your own opinions.
• Review all the information on your application and/or resume.
• Try to shake hands with all of the judges. If they are busy writing, just keep ‘going.’ Some directors may tell you not to due to time restrictions.
• If you don’t understand a question ask for clarification.
• Try to not use one word answers. They also want to know why, just not “Yes” or “No.”
• Check yourself out before you go in. (is your skirt straight, hair out of your face, are there any runners in your hose, and etc..)
• Laugh a little!
• A few don’ts:
Chew gum
Bad posture
Swing legs
Using slang (umm, like, and etc…)
Ramble
Roll eyes when considering possible answer
DURING THE INTRODUCTION....

• Know the criteria, be sure to include everything that is necessary
• Make sure that transitions are smooth.
• Emphasize your name, you want the judges to remember you.
• Use the allotted time, but don’t make it too long. Many times, they are to be cut down to 20 or 30 seconds.
• Step up to the “X” on the stage. Let the audience be aware of you presence.
• Hold the microphone correctly. Be sure not to hide your face or to hold the microphone with both hands! The other should be by your side, but not grabbing your suit.
• Clear your throat before you speak.
• Again, eye contact with the judges and the Model-T stance is vital.

Good luck..and I hope this helps...I would wrte more but my hand are hurting from typing all that...lol...if you want you can message or email me and I will try to help you out!!!GOOD LUCK!!!

Answer 2

Great skin is the first step toward an excellent makeup. Skin plays a vital role in our life, how one looks and feels directly correlates to ones skin.

Partaking in health and beauty rituals indiscriminately - slowing time and gravity's tentacles continues to lead us on a trail that has been philosophised throughout history. Beauty comes from within, for the beauty that is without resembles the beauty that is within.

Making the best choices for our bodies, and ultimately our skin, is achieved through diet/ food, exercise, regular professional treatments, personalized homecare, and a healthy mental attitude.

The type of skin you have depends on your genes, sex, age, environment, structure and regeneration. How you treat your skin will always be evident in your face, hands and body. Its never too early nor too late to begin looking after your skin.

Skin cleansing is essential: pollution, grease and grime cling to the skin, clogging pores; while the body eliminates toxins through perspiration. If the cleansing process is not thoroughly undertaken, the skin will look and feel sluggish, tired and minor skin problems and irritations will transpire.

Cleansing should be part of the daily routine: upon waking, and before returning to bed; before using special treatments (masks); before and after makeup; and after sport (to wash away perspiration and grime that builds up), all without disturbing the skins natural acidity. The acid mantle (or pH) valiantly guards the skin against bacterial invasion and other disturbances; warding off moisture loss, leaving the skin smooth, fine and blemish free.
