Q - Can my child wear make-up?
A - This is a natural pageant which means we do not allow makeup, false eyelashes, hair pieces or extensions, on any child between the ages of 0-9. They need to have a "clean face". Keep hair simple. The do not need "hair jewelry". Bows and headbands are fine but they do not need the rhinestone beads that hairdressers sometimes add to children's hair when they go to a salon. They also should not wear fingernail polish.
Ages 10-12 can wear ONLY the following - mascara, light powder, light blush, light lip gloss or Vaseline. NO DARK LIPSTICK OR LIP GLOSS. Hair is fine down or up, straight or curled. Keep in mind, you should style your child's hair the way it looks best on them.
Ages 13-Mrs. can wear age appropriate makeup and style their hair as they choose.
Q - What type of dress and shoes should my daughter or I wear?
A - Ages 0-9 can wear short, long or T length dresses. The most important thing to remember is that the dress needs to be in good repair and fit the child. The dress can be a color of your choice, but lean toward a pastel color. Black or very dark colors have tendencies to mask your child's natural beauty and make them look too old in their division. They can wear pageant dresses - not heavily stoned, flower girl or party type dresses. Some Sunday Best or Easter type dresses also do very well. We do not recommend gloves or shawls. Strapless or spaghetti straps normally do no score well in this age. Off the shoulder or sleeveless with little scoop necklines seem to score better. In 7-9, some halter type dresses are fine, but keep it age appropriate. Simple earrings (if they wear them) and usually no necklaces, rings or bracelets. Shoes in the 3-4 division are typically white with little white socks. 5-9 are typically white or clear. No need for dyed shoes to match their dress. *This is what you will see most of, it does not imply this is what will win.
Ages - 10 - Mrs. wear long dresses that are typically pageant or prom type. The most important thing to remember is that the dress needs to be in good repair and fit the girl. In 10-12, lean away from black. It can make the girls look too old for their division. Shoes should be appropriate for the dress. Be careful with the height of the heel on the shoe. If the heel is higher than what the girl normally wears, allow her to practice or walk in them BEFORE arriving to the pageant.
Ages 13-15. The color of the dress is your choice but should look good on the contestant. The most important thing to remember is that the dress needs to be in good repair and fit the contestant.
