When you think of beauty pageants, beauties decked out with long legs and no cellulite come to mind. Rarely does the mention of an official regional pageant conjure up the idea of makeup-free women walking down a catwalk.
However, the new Miss London 2023 is creating a stir on the Internet for winning the world’s ‘first’ no-makeup beauty pageant in England.

Why was the beauty pageant special?
SWNS
Although many pageants include a round or two of no-makeup moments in the competition, it is reported to be the first time that around two dozen contestants in a beauty pageant shed their second skin for the entire event.
During the pageant, these contestants strutted down the ramp with their gleaming bare faces while trying to impress the judges with their unaltered faces and ethically sourced outfits.
The setting of the pageant at the regional heats made it the first time in Miss England’s 95-year history that a pageant was organized to allow contestants to participate without any make-up highlighting their sharp cheekbones. Organizers said it was a first for Britain and probably a first for the world as well.
They hoped the decision to alter the traditional pageant model would “empower women, increase confidence and promote a more realistic body image, focusing on natural appearance.”

At the end of the beauty pageant, Natasha Beresford, a 26-year-old dental nurse, was crowned the winner of the pageant. In 2021, she began working at the Royal London Dental Hospital, but has now moved into private dental practice in Chiswick.

As for her future training plans, she hopes to work with community clinics: “I also plan to volunteer with Dentaid for their community dental clinics in the UK, where they provide dental care and oral health advice to homeless people, abuse survivors and families in poverty. , refugees, cancer patients and people recovering from addiction.”
