Miss England to host first-ever makeup-free pageant in 98 years

Finalists will appear with and without make-up as Miss England stages its first makeup-free round in 98 years, organizers said.

  • On November 17, Miss England finalists will walk the grand final catwalk completely makeup-free in Leicester, marking the first time in the pageant's 98-year history.
  • Each of the 38 finalists will reveal their natural look during the 'Bare Face Top Model' round this year, created to challenge unrealistic beauty standards and social media obsession.
  • Organizer Angie Beasley said the initiative "challenges modern beauty standards and the pressure to look picture-perfect," while finalist Angel Patel remarked, "Posting a selfie with no makeup on isn't always an easy thing to do in today."
  • Evaluating contestants without makeup marks a significant shift, as only two beauty queens have competed makeup-free in the final before; the winner will advance to Miss World 2027.
  • Promoting a "bold celebration of confidence and authenticity," the pageant encourages women to feel comfortable in their own skin, asserting contestants do not need filters or flawless skin to be beautiful.
