Miss England finalist is first ever to enter without make-up

“This is the first time I’ve seen a contestant completely makeup-free competing in a semi-final and she said she felt empowered against all the other contestants," she further added. According to Mirror, Melisa Raouf felt that it was an amazing experience for her and she felt quite daunting as she entered the finals. “It means a lot to me as I feel many girls of different ages wear makeup because they feel pressured to do so,” she said.
