Right before training sessions and rehearsal I gave the contestants a class on Makeup and How to be Professional. I taught them tips and tricks on how to apply their makeup. I showed them how to be quick and practical, also spoke to them on how to pack, get dressed, what to wear for different occasions, how to do their hair, pageant tips, how to be cordial with others, manners and more. I also spoke to them about my experiences in the industry and how being professional is very important.
