Melisa Raouf, a finalist for Miss England 2022

The organizer of Miss England, Angie Beasley, claimed she was astonished by the number of cosmetics and fillers used by candidates. Therefore, in 2019, she added the bare-faced top model category. Beasley said, “I saw too many unrealistic images on Instagram and contestants thinking they needed to wear make-up to look beautiful. It encourages contestants to show us who they really are without the need to hide behind makeup and filters on social media. This round in the contest was introduced back in 2019 as we were receiving so many entry images from contestants covering their faces with thick makeup and using filters.”
