Choose your model wisely in terms of hair, skin and teeth. The final make-up will be photographed live as part of the judging process.
Real Beauty

The expansion of the Real Beauty category provides a choice of two themes, allowing competitors to select their chosen option, regardless of hair colouring, skin type and to incorporate all ethnicities. Your target client is real women, not professional models – style her to look perfect. Sleek, flawless hair and elegant clothing enhance the beauty of the occasion.
Any age of model is permitted over the age of 16 in Real Beauty. Create a flawless, age-appropriate look, selecting products that work for her skin tone, eye and face shape. Application is key to produce a flawless finish.
You’ll be judged on your ability to bring out the potential of your subject, as well as your skills in application and technique. Bring with you a shot of your model as she normally looks. Before and after shots will be compared to gauge the full effect of the final look.
