"A Miss England finalist has become the first ever beauty queen to compete without wearing any makeup in the pageant's nearly century-long history.

Melisa Raouf, a 20-year-old college student from south London, moved forward at the pageant's semifinals on Monday after opting for a barefaced look. Now, she'll compete in the finals this October for the crown.

"It means a lot to me as I feel many girls of different ages wear makeup because they feel pressured to do so," Raouf said in an interview with the UK's Independent newspaper.

"If one is happy in their own skin we should not be made to cover up our face with makeup. Our flaws make us who we are and that's what makes every individual unique," she added.

Raouf said that, though she started wearing makeup at a young age, she decided to eschew tradition for the pageant.

"I never felt I met beauty standards. I have recently accepted that I am beautiful in my own skin and that's why I decided to compete with no makeup," she explained in the interview.

In May, Raouf posted a selfie on Instagram from the "bare face" round of the competition, writing that she was "embracing blemishes and imperfections."

Angie Beasley, director of Miss England, told CNN in a statement on Friday: "We introduced the Bare Face Top Model round in 2019 as most contestants were submitting highly edited images wearing lots of makeup and we wanted to see the real person behind the makeup."

According to organizers, Raouf plans to go bare-faced again at the national final in October.

"We wish her the best of luck in Miss England, it's a very brave thing to do when everyone else is wearing makeup but she's sending out an important message to young women," Beasley added."

Honestly, I think all women should go without makeup. I think they are pretty enough as they are.

Thats awesome. Her last name makes me wonder if she is Egyptian. If so I am rooting for her even more.

She's definitely Egyptian or Lebanese. Both of which have some of the most naturally beautiful women in the world.

Bruh, how many women have you even seen without makeup? You do realize when you go out in public 100% of the girls you see that you think are pretty are wearing makeup right?

Wow, this is pretty cool.

I hope the trend continues in the future. I appreciate the beauty of well applied makeup, (some of the more elaborate looks I've seen are almost straight-up art) but to me natural beauty will always be best.

If theyre judging purely on natural beauty then I totally agree with this. People can completely transform themselves now with the right amount of make up.

I believe there's something along those lines. A lass on Love Island a few years back was a winner of some sort of make-upless pageant.

As soon as you say 100% of pretty much anything, you're wrong. I grew up with all women and they definitely go to the store without make up all the time. No idea why you feel it necessary to lie or be so close minded about this narrative. But, Id reevaluate it, if you don't wanna come off ignorant next time.

I always tell my wife she looks better without make up. Its also the activity that takes her the longest gettiing ready for work. She says that if she were to go without make up people would be asking her if shes ok and why isnt she wearing any =/

I hate the normalization of make up for going anywhere

fine women generally look much better without makeup than they do with actual makeup (imo it frequently makes them actually look worse unless really well done) of course women wear makeup more for fashion than to improve aesthetic appearance so...

Take that out of it. Just teaching young girls that it's a competition before they can even form their own values themselves. A path that is known to create insecurities in people. Even one's seen as beautiful by others.

Having a talent section doesn't matter. It actually works against showing the value of a talent when you just choose the cutest kid anyway. You're literally teaching looks are more valuable than that talent learned.
