#barefacemissengland and walking the Miss England arrivals catwalk, make up free.

“The Miss Englands Bare Face Top Model round is a unique and empowering element of the competition and will remain in the competition as one of the qualifying rounds that contestants can choose to enter as a way of trying to reach the shortlist” said
organiser Angie Beasley. “By showcasing their natural beauty without the aid of makeup, the contestants can
celebrate their individuality and self-confidence. This round also promotes natural &
realistic beauty on social media which I believe is good thing ”.

round was key in helping me feel confident and empowered in myself, and I’m sure many other girls who participate in the future will feel the same.

I’m truly excited to see how this round continues to evolve, as I believe it’s what sets the Miss England
pageant apart from other pageants—offering a unique opportunity to embrace natural beauty and empowerment.”
