Wear enough stage makeup for the judges. You will be on stage, but the makeup should not be theatrical. When applying makeup, only wear enough so that the first row, which will typically be the judges, can see your face well. Avoid bright makeup, dark eyeliner, and frosted cosmetics. Look for matte makeup in shades that are slightly more colorful than natural shades you would wear as everyday makeup. - If the pageant will be on TV, you can go a shade brighter than usual for the lipstick and blush.
