Lip balm (but not for the lips)
part of getting the right pageant look
By Natalie Archibald
February 26, 2008 | Gallons of hairspray, tons of
makeup -- OK, we exaggerete a little -- plus 4-inch
heels and one crown can only mean one thing in Logan:
a pageant.
The pageant Saturday featured many young women competing
for the crown and title of Miss Cache Valley 2008.
Many people wonder about the mystery behind a pageant
and what makes the girls look perfect on stage. The
contestants have a few beauty secrets to keep themselves
looking good throughout the pageant:
* Vaseline on teeth makes it easier to smile for
hours and hours.
* Lip balm on eye lids helps the eye shadow stay on
longer.
* Hairspray sprayed on face after makeup is applied
to keep it from smearing. Hairspray also keeps the swim
suit from riding up.
* Fake eyelashes makes the eyes stand out and look
fabulous.
* Nude colored shoes and nude colored nail polish on
toe nails and finger nails gives the illusion of longer
legs.
* Posing/walking when posing, a triangle shape gives
a leaner look.
* Dehydration a couple of days before the pageant
they drink less water to show more muscle definition.
* Hair extensions for long luxurious hair.
* Tanning for a fresh healthy glow.
Now we all know the beauty secrets of pageant queens.
As the saying goes, "Beauty pinches."
There is a lot of hard work the contestants put into
the pageant; they spend many hours practicing, exercising,
and preparing their talents. The judging categories
are as follows: Private Interview 35 percent, Talent
40 percent, Physical Fitness 10 percent, On-Stage Questions
5 percent, and the Evening Gown 10 percent.
All the hard work, sweat and stress has finally paid
off. Congratulations to the new Miss Cache Valley 2008,
Kathryn Hopkins, whoo will receive a $500 scholarship.
The First Attendant is Kaisa Anderson, and she will
receive a $250 scholarship. Second Attendant is Karlie
Rhodes.
