Miss England pageant adds first-ever 'makeup-free' round - Fox News

Posted: 26 Jun 2019 08:48 AM PDT

Miss England 2019 hopefuls better back away from the contouring cream, as the U.K. beauty pageant has launched a "makeup-free" round of the national competition for the first time ever.

On June 25, it was announced that all contestants will now compete in a barefaced round to promote body positivity and natural beauty, The Telegraph reports, a breath of fresh air in today's social media-crazed society full of unrealistic beauty standards.

The creative idea was dreamt up by pageant organizer Angie Beasley, who hopes that the new element of the competition will encourage participants to "wear less makeup," according to The Independent.

"Recently we have been shocked to see Miss England contestants as young as 19 undergoing lip filler treatments and even Botox, and so many entering with full faces of thick makeup covering their natural beauty," Beasley told The Telegraph.

"We tell the girls they don't need fillers, fake eyelashes and tattooed brows to enter our contest, but it just shows what a damaging effect edited social media images can have on young women's self-esteem and mental health," she continued.

"The difference between what impressionable women see on social media and TV and reality is getting out of hand, which is why we decided to launch this round for the first time in the pageant's history," Beasley mused.

Over 20,000 young women have entered the English pageant this year, The Telegraph reports, with the final round scheduled for July 31 and Aug. 1 in Newcastle.

Beyond the crown, the champ will win a place in the elite Miss World pageant and a luxury vacation to the island of Mauritius.

Miss England hopeful Bhasha Mukherjee has already embraced the makeup-free stage, sharing two barefaced selfies to Instagram.

"Make up is a means of enhancement but how often do the lines get blurred between enhancement and concealment. So often we just hide behind a film of products and even artificial cosmetic enhancements be it Botox or fillers… so here I am owning my flaws," Mukherjee wrote online.

In other beauty pageant headlines, in late May, the Miss India competition was slammed for a lack of diversity, after a newspaper released headshots of the 30 finalists who looked unbelievably alike.

And last summer, the Miss America pageant caused a stir for dropping the famous swimsuit and evening gown elements of the competition, explaining that contestants would no longer be judged on their appearance.

Miss England 2019 Added A Makeup Free Round To 'Help Contestants Be More Confident In Their Own Skin' - Bustle

Posted: 27 Jun 2019 07:28 AM PDT

Beauty pageants have long been criticised for promoting and sustaining narrow, unrepresentative beauty standards, which still remain overwhelmingly white, slim, cisgender and non-disabled. This year, Miss England has launched a makeup free round, which organiser Angie Beasley says "will help contestants be more confident in their own skin." Of the previous winners of Miss England and Miss World, Beasley says, "most are real natural beauties who don't wear too much makeup at all."

Ten Miss England finalists have entered the Bare Face Top Model round, after posting a makeup-free photo of themselves on social media in a black vest top and jeans. The winner of the round will be fast-tracked to the top 20, according to the pageant website.

Bhasha Mukherjee, a junior doctor and winner of Asian Face of Miss England, shared her make-up free photos with the caption, "Make up is a means of enhancement but how often do the lines get blurred between enhancement and concealment. So often we just hide behind a film of products and even artificial cosmetic enhancements be it Botox or fillers."

"It's just easier to blend into the crowd than own your flaws forgetting that it's these that make you you. So here I am owning my flaws. My imperfect skin. My short sparse eye lashes and brows. No filter. No enhancement. No Photoshop," Mukherjee added.

Rebecca Gormley, a customer service worker and the reigning Miss Newcastle, wrote on Instagram, "I have chosen to enter this round as i feel it's an important message to put out to other girls. It is ok to embrace your natural beauty. In the world we live in today there is so much pressure to look good on social media and follow the trend."

"Personally I feel this message is a positive one to put out there and I hope that this may inspire other girls to be themselves. You don't need to change yourself. Be real be you and let your true beauty shine through," Gormley said.

While the intentions behind the Bare Face Top Model round might be noble, here's the issue: the new round does little to expand the aforementioned beauty standards the pageant upholds. The pageant's past winners, according to a glance at the pageant's "Hall of Fame," are still predominantly white, slim, non-disabled and cisgender (there are several BAME contestants in the Bare Face Top Model category).

Here's some evidence of how exclusionary the scene remains: last year, law student Sara Iftekhar became the first contestant to wear a hijab in the Miss England finals, as the BBC reported — but was subsequently subject to online racist and Islamophobic abuse. "I'm quite a tough person but some of the comments I've received online have been atrocious," she told the Daily Mail.

The Bare Face Top Model category seems, by glorifying "natural beauties," to shame those who wear makeup and seek cosmetic enhancements, while purporting to tackle the beauty ideal. Racism, fatphobia, transphobia and ableism are infinitely more pernicious than makeup and fillers; by focusing on the latter, Miss England misses the point.

Perspective | Miss Manners: Young-looking teacher tired of comments - The Washington Post

Posted: 01 Jul 2019 09:00 PM PDT

Dear Miss Manners: I'm a middle school teacher, and often when I meet with parents for the first time, they will remark "You look so young," or "You look like you could be one of the students!"

I understand they don't mean any offense, but I am in my early 30s and do my best to wear professional clothes and makeup. My co-workers tell me I should take it as a compliment, but lately I've been feeling a little insulted, especially when they compare me to a middle-schooler.

I normally tell them "thank you," but I don't feel like my response is genuine or appropriate. How should I respond in the future?

"I can assure you that your child is fully aware that I am a grown-up, and that I am in charge here." Miss Manners just asks you to say it with a smile.

Dear Miss Manners: I have two acquaintances who each have PhD degrees from Harvard. They insist upon being addressed as "Dr." Smith and "Dr." Jones.

I have a PhD from another school. It has always been my opinion that this is not a social title, and should only be used in professional contexts. I believe that only M. D.s should be addressed and identified as "doctor" in social settings. People may need to know that they are medical doctors. What is your knowledge of this?

A bit of knowledge that your acquaintances failed to pick up at Harvard: awareness of the reverse snobbery practiced there, and at other schools, where doctorate degrees are assumed, and therefore not broadcast. In certain professional situations, it is necessary to state that as a qualification, but the fastidious do not use it otherwise.

Miss Manners is well aware that your opinion and hers will bring on indignant responses along the lines of "I earned my PhD, and I'm proud of it." She is also aware that the concept of not flashing all one's achievements as widely as possible will baffle many people.

Dear Miss Manners: I go to a coffee shop and sit with some older ladies. I am 15 years younger. Having been a widow for three years, I have luckily now become engaged to a wonderful man.

One older lady always wants to look at the obituaries and talk about her husband, who died a year ago. When an elderly man who was widowed four years ago asked her out, she was insulted. The other older woman also talks about her dead husband. Unlike them, I am very busy. I take yoga and art classes, and do belly dancing.

I have decided to sit with another friend and my fiance at another table. Sometimes, one of the ladies tells me I am insulting her by not sitting with them.

What is a kind way to tell them that I want to sit with my fiance at another table?

Why are you making this obvious by going to the same coffee shop at the same time? You are not obliged to sit with them, but this does strike Miss Manners as provocative.

If you must, you and your fiance should exchange courtesies with them before saying, "Excuse us, we have things we must talk about."

Miss England finalists to go makeup-free during contest - IOL

They compete in a world in which the glamour can often be criticised as artificial.

But this year's Miss England finalists will for the first time take part in a makeup-free round, to emphasise their natural beauty.

The 54 contestants hoping to be chosen to represent the country at Miss World have had to submit photographs of themselves with no makeup. The pictures must not have been put through computer filters or other editing to enhance them.

The winner of the Bare Face Top Model round will be fast-tracked into the last 20.

Miss England director Angie Beasley said: 'Recently we have been shocked to see Miss England contestants as young as 19 undergoing lip filler treatments and even Botox, and so many entering with full faces of thick makeup covering their natural beauty. We tell the girls they don't need fillers, fake eyelashes and tattooed brows to enter our contest, but it just shows what a damaging effect edited social media images can have on young women's self-esteem and mental health.

'The difference between what impressionable women see on social media and TV and reality is getting out of hand, which is why we decided to launch this round.

'It is really important for us to promote real beauty and body positivity. I hope the introduction of this round will encourage our contestants to wear less makeup overall. If you look at our Miss England former winners, most are natural beauties compared with many of the usual celebrities, which provides a much more positive role model for young women.'

Reigning Miss England Alisha Cowie, 19, from Newcastle upon Tyne, often goes without makeup in selfies.

'On social media we have influencers and role models which set an unrealistic standard which I believe results in mental health issues,' she said. 'Going after that portrayed perfect flawless look is so difficult and unrealistic. The bare-faced round is so important to embrace natural beauty.'

The Best Beauty Deals From Amazon Prime Day 2019 Include Skin Care, Makeup, and Hair Products - Allure Magazine

Posted: 28 Jun 2019 08:54 AM PDT

With exact dates for the massive sale finally on the calendar, it's time to start planning which beauty products you're going to scoop up during Amazon Prime Day. The 2019 edition of this epic annual promotion is set to be the longest yet, beginning at 3 a.m. EST on July 15 and lasting until July 16 — but don't let that overwhelm you. The folks over at Amazon have done us a serious solid by uploading a list of all the Prime Day beauty launches that will be available during those nearly 48 magical hours.

The range of products is seemingly endless: a vegan lip oil, a mattifying setting spray, a shimmering highlight palette, acne spot treatments, a wrinkle-busting mask, and everything in-between — all at seriously marked-down prices that will leave your head spinning. So take a look at our favorites of the items announced so far, pick out your own must-haves, and start warming up those fingers for a few hours of scrolling and mouse-clicking.

There's no telling what the final price tags on these items will be until the sale goes live, but if we learned anything from Prime Day last year, it's that they'll be priced to move, and many won't last the full 48 hours.

Miss New Zealand Lucy Brock says beauty pageants have moved with the times as she eyes Miss World crown - Stuff.co.nz

New Zealand's entrant to Miss World 2019, Lucy Brock hails from Auckland's North Shore

Are beauty pageants an antiquated reminder of what we don't want for our youth? Brad Flahive asks Miss New Zealand if they still have a place in 2019.

In four months' time Lucy Brock represents New Zealand at Miss World; it may surprise some to know she prepares for the competition by focussing on others - not her gowns, makeup or nail polish. 

In fact, if beauty pageant punters are expecting Miss World hopefuls to be judged on their physical appearance, they'd better call the 1980s and ask for a refund.  

Brock is a senior creative strategist at New Zealand creative agency Motion Sickness.

They're no longer beauty pageants; instead it's a competition which focuses on an entrant's all round ability, including raising awareness about social issues affecting their community, according to Brock.

"There is no section in Miss New Zealand that is judged on your physical beauty," Brock tells Stuff. "We are judged on our fundraising efforts and awareness work, and on how well you interview and debate." 

Brock warned would-be detractors not to assume the Miss World was an outdated event: "The competition has been around for 70 years, like many things around that long it changes, and so has this." 

Added to the new judging criteria is a sports challenge which has the contestants running, swimming and long jumping.  

However, a category more familiar to the casual observer remains: an evening gown and cocktail dress section assesses the entrant's "confidence and stage presence".

"If there was anything to do with physical appearance I didn't win [that section]; I would like to think I won on the basis of who I am."

Brock is a senior creative strategist at New Zealand creative agency Motion Sickness. 

She got there by earning a scholarship, completing a five-year qualification in just three years and working at three of New Zealand's most well-known companies - she's also only 24.   

'The competition has been around for 70 years, like many things around that long it changes, and so has this.'

'The competition has been around for 70 years, like many things around that long it changes, and so has this.'

The 69th Miss World competition begins in Thailand on December 7, the final is a month-long festival taking entrants from 130 countries across some of the country's cultural heritage sites. 

Organisers say the main aim of the competition is to promote a charitable foundation called 'Beauty With a Purpose'.

Brock's purpose is to raise awareness about the safety of Kiwi kids online - in particular cyber bullying, child sexual abuse material and online hate speech. 

With support and resources from Miss New Zealand, Brock will document her visits to schools and present that work at the final in Thailand. 

Brock, born and raised on Auckland's North Shore, comes from a family of four.

From the outside, she says, it's easy for inspired children to think she's had it all her own way - but it was the setbacks and failures that helped shape her attitude. 

"There are always going to be challenges, and what's me got through is a burning desire and drive to do the best you can and keep coming back."
