Q&A for How to Become Miss World

So for a beauty pageant, aim for bold and bright! Your makeup needs to pop out against the lights. Fake eyelashes are a must, and your lip color must be noticeable. Contour if you're feeling comfortable with it to further define your features. And to keep everything in place, use a translucent setting powder and setting spray.

Yes, of course! Don't let others' standards of beauty define you. Show the world that you can be beautiful and have acne at the same time.

Yes, of course! People of all races and ethnicities are beautiful, and there are no racial restrictions in the Miss World and Miss Universe pageants.

No. Information on the official website states that "...contestants may only compete in national pageants once."

Of course. It's a beauty completion, not an eye test! If your nearsightedness means you need glasses, wear them to take part. Make sure your frames flatter you and make you feel confident about your appearance. You can opt to wear contact lenses if your prefer, or wear glasses in some parts of the competition and contact lenses in others, or, if you can see okay without any lenses or glasses, don't worry. Have different glasses for different parts of the competition if you like.

Yes, height does not matter. That's a pretty average height for a girl too.

While having family support you can be helpful, overall they will not have much of an impact. You can still win without support, just have confidence in yourself.

Miss World isn’t just an outer beauty competition; it focuses on inner beauty and “beauty with a purpose”. Scars don’t define you, they add to what makes you different and unique. Go for it!

No, this is not possible in the same year because once the person has won one title, they have to be an ambassador for that brand for the coming year and the contract will hold them to staying with that title alone.

Of course! Remember: beauty is completely relative. There are so many different definitions of beauty and being original and exoctic is one of them.

No! You're never too late into entering a competition, just practice and maybe you can wait a little while into getting in!

Straight, white teeth are a very Westernized standard. As long as your teeth are clean and of a good colour, that should be fine.

There are no stated requirements for physical characteristics like body type, weight and height, etc. to participate in Miss World. However, most contestants are much taller, a full 8 to 9 inches taller (e.g. closer to 6-feet tall).
