We are looking for natural beauty. *Contestants with too much make-up or dresses & hairstyles that aren’t age appropriate will be counted off.* Those deductions may or may not affect whether you win or not--we are looking for the TOTAL package and personality, poise, confidence and eye contact are IMPORTANT1!!!
