WOW: Miss German 2020 Breaks New Grounds In Pageantry

Germany has taken the bold step to change the rules of beauty pageantry in the world starting from them where the Miss Germany pageant organizers set a standard of beauty for the average German woman with this year's contest.

On February 15, 2020, after the 18th edition of Miss German 2020 was held at the Europa Park Arena near Freiburg in Southern Germany, Namibian-born online entrepreneur, Leonie von Hase won the pageant ahead of thirteen other finalists.

She won over the six-woman-strong jury as well as won the state of Schleswig-Holstein nomination at the end of last year.

At the age of 35, Leonie was the oldest participant in this year's pageant final, with the motto "Empowering Authentic Women".  For the first time, the 2020 Miss Germany contest allowed married women, mothers, and pregnant women to participate without a bikini contest.

This year, the contest also saw the age limit raised by 10 years to include women up to 39 years old and not lesser than 18 years of age.

According to the 2020 Queen on the Miss German website, she posted that women have not been interested in striving for a conventional standard of beauty for a long time now and shared that for her the beauty of a woman is the strength, character, and authenticity.

Whether or not other countries will adapt to this change,  is up to time to tell.

CONGRATS TO REIGNING 2020 MISS GERMAN BEAUTY QUEEN!!!!!

DISCOVER: How To Avoid Acne And Pimples

Every lady's face is one of the most delicate parts of the body which must be taken very good care of. Our face as ladies are one of the parts of the body which attracts anyone. 

We do not always need to break our accounts to get our faces on fleek sometimes all we need to is ensure we consistent in our cleanups, diets, and doing what needs to be done. Our failure to consistently do what needs to be done is one way we tend to have very bad breakouts.

Let me take you through some tips you have probably forgotten in getting and maintaining a beautiful face:

Make sure at all times to remove your makeup before going to bed or taking a nap like just do not go to bed or have your makeup on your face overnight. Your skin would have already been exhausted from your makeup whether light or heavy, so you ought to clean your makeup off probably in order for your skin to glow. Leaving the makeup on overnight clogs the pores which may cause blemishes and/or blackheads. 

If you do not have a makeup remover, you could try a makeup cleanser or face wash or even just put some olive oil on a cotton pad and gently massage the oil onto your face to get rid of the makeup and dirt.  

Do not always exfoliate the skin, take this advice from me. At least once or twice a week, exfoliate your skin to remove the layers of dead skin and be sure to have a more healthy glow and brighter skin.

Apply sunscreen with SPF of at least 15 that blocks both UVA and UVB rays when you out of your door. Since a lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots, and other skin problems, you have to protect your skin from the sun. Make sure the label reads ‘noncomedogenic’ or ‘nonacnegenic’ so that the product does not tend to block pores instead of opening them.

How To Wash Your Beauty Blender Properly

My beauty blender used to be of the makeup tools which gave me a lot of headaches because of how difficult it is to clean. They are just porous and absorb water, product, and can grow bacteria inside. I ended up buying the tool on every occasion and as small as the money looked it, it caused a lot of harm.

Beauty blenders have a unique ability to absorb water, which expands their shape. When the sponge is at its fullest absorption, it soaks up far less product, allowing the foundation to be applied to the skin and not soaked into the beauty blender. This also means it’s easier to clean than the average sponge.

First, it’s important to find the right cleanser.  You can use liquid brush cleansers, or the same cleanser you use on your face. Fully immerse the beauty blender in warm water under the tap. Next gently “swirl and lather” the beauty blender on the solid soaps and massage the soap in the beauty tool.

One lather, massage, and rinse usually isn’t enough, so you need to allow the soap to break apart product buildup within the tool. You’ll know you have a clean beauty blender when the suds you squeeze out are clear from foundation tones.

Finally, squeeze out as much water as possible. This will allow the beauty blender to dry faster. Let the beauty blender fully air dry as well before placing them back into a closed container, or you may find your half damp, sealed sponges have decided to mold.

HACK: Fastest Way To Make Yourself Up In Less Than 10 Minutes

We don't always need to apply heavy makeup to tell a story, there are days we just need something very light to go about our day to day activities.

For work, class, or any other calm environment, you could, first of all, get your face cleaned with a cleanser, then moisturize your face with the right moisturizer, to keep the skin moisturized. Match your foundation to your skin tone perfectly. Conceal dark under-eye circles. Use bold blushes. Finish your routine with a setting powder.

You can decide not to apply mascara or draw your brow, just get a very cool swapping colour or shade of mascara to add a subtle sparkle to your eyes. Just applying a different shade of mascara covers up for your eyeshadow and eyeliner. You could, however, pair it with a coral balm to brighten your whole look.

For full brows and a fuschia Lips, you could just apply a brush-on a tinted gel in an upward motion to add oomph, then comb hairs toward the natural arch. Then you just add a fuchsia lip color.

Another look you could achieve for a day is the rosy glow together with peach lips. Make your skin the center of attention. Dab pink cream blush on the apples of your cheeks with your fingertips, then blend out and up. Pop on a peach gloss to complete the fresh and young look.
