The 69th Miss Universe pageant was a rollercoaster ride. There were definitely ups and downs in the local and international front. Despite all of this, the pageant lived up to everyone’s expectations. We all felt patriotic during the national costume showcase. Then, we were swooned by the lavish couture in the evening gown segment. Finally, we were left inspired after the question and answer portion. In each of these segments, the contestants displayed brains and beauty.
Pageant makeup or not, we saw the differences in the contestant’s choices for hair and makeup, as Miss Universe is often a representation of the prevailing beauty trends in a country, along with how each woman expresses herself through cosmetics.
