Shadow Powder

Working as a pageant director for the last 16 years I have seen fads and changes in the Beauty Pageant Industry come and go. The Pageant Industry mimics life in that change is inevitable. Here are my predictions for the near future based on my pageant directing experience.

1 More Contestants are choosing a Sandal Type shoe for swim suit competition. Contestants are choosing a sandal type shoe with a three to four inch heel for swim suit competition. The sandal type shoe gives a less formal look to the overall impressions, as compared to the old type pump shoe we have been using for the past 20 years. The color remains the same. The taupe color shoe gives a Longer Look to the leg as it BLENDS in with most skin tones. When modeling swim wear, always choose a color closes to the natural color leg. This color provides less distraction when being judged and scored. When choosing a shoe for swim wear competition you want a shoe that will not take away from the flow of the leg. If choosing a different shoe color then taupe,it will draw more attention to the foot and cut off the smooth flow of the foot to the body that we are aiming for. If choosing a clear shoe, this shoe may cause the look to appear more formal. If you decide to select a clear shoe for swim wear, make sure the outer color is taupe.

2 Natural looking Hair Styles are making a statement in the pageant industry. Over the years hair styles have changed slowly . For the past 50 years the Teased Style said "I have a Royal Image" with its fixed and elegant look. This look has been consistent with the exception of the 1970s. The straight look is being used again. The flat iron is becoming a MUST to have for the 2000's pageant contestant. Hair is worn down for most Interview competitions regardless of what system the contestants is competing in. For swim suit or sportswear competitions, the contestant usually pulls the hair back in a sleek pony tail, or half up on the sides. Some ladies still use the heat rollers to give |a fuller look to the hair with a little wave. This also looks Natural and most pageant systems at the state or national level don't allow stylist in the dressing rooms. The contestant must manage her hair with out the assistance of a professional. A simple French twist or a Low pony Tale is being used in evening gowncompetitions. The statement made is formal yet natural.

3. Evening Gown are going to Ruffles One of the styles that making a come back is the Ruffle in Evening Gown competition. Ruffles give a look of free style and a flirty appeal. The ruffles are best used at the bottom of the dress for a fuller and bolder look. The ruffles are rarely used at the top of the gown because it may cause a distraction to the contestants hair style and facial beauty. The Miss. USA & Miss. Universe contestants use the Ruffle to catch the eye of the judges, and to add Glamor to the overall impression.

4. Dramatic Eye Shadow is making a Dramatic Statement. One thing coming back for sure is the Smoky and Dramatic Eye! The 1960's set the look for Glamor Eye Shadow. | Stage make up should be different and more dramatic for pageant competition. Contestants use a lighter and brighter color at the top of the eye right under the brow. Using a slight darker color on the eye lid, followed by a darker color to contour the eye, gives that dramatic appearance that all delegates want. The Eyes and Eye Brow are the focusing point when looking at one's face. So the brow should compliment the eye shadow by filling in with a darker powder on the brow to Complete the Look. The Glamor look takes practice and can be achieved even by the beginner delegate.

5. The Classic Swim Suit NO MORE! The Classic One Piece swim suit is finally fading away and taking a back seat to the two piece wonder. The Bikini is being worn by all contestants in different pageant systems.. Miss USA, Miss. Universe and Miss America are all wearing the two piece swim suit. At one time the delegate had to wear a one color suit. Now, two colors are being worn, sometimes three and with patterns. In this era the average pageant contestant must be physically fit to sport the Bikini! The one piece swim suit is still being worn by the Mrs. & The Ms. Contestants. This suit gives the elegant look for the ladies that have had children. It also covers stretch marks and imperfections. One thing remains the same, no matter what style chosen, the suit should be Fitted to compliment the contestant. These are my predictions for the upcoming pageant seasons. What is yours?

What kind of eye shadow do you prefer, liquid or powder?

I prefer liquid because it feels smooth and comfortable on my skin while powder makes my skin feel itchy and it can get in my eye easily.

Powder, you can always add water to it to make it more vibrant.
