Pageantry beauty looks are hard to perfect. The harsh lights can either diffuse one’s face if the makeup is too light while close-up shots can reveal texture if it’s too thick. A beauty queen who found the balance between the two is none other than Miss Universe Philippines Rabiya Mateo. From winning Miss Universe Philippines to making it as a semi-finalist during the 69th Miss Universe coronation night, Mateo’s signature look was always about bronzed skin and sultry eyes. Here’s how to emulate the allure of the Indian-Filipina beauty queen.

Royal Highness

Fun fact: Cleopatra’s famous dramatic black liner also protected her eyes from the midday sun glaring off the desert sands. For a modern approach, capture the essence of regal femme fatale by using dark metallic shadows to create a subtle smoky eye.

Bronze In First Place

Skip the blush and go for dramatic depth by contouring with tones of bronzed gold for definition and shape. Top it off with a nude lip to balance out the look.
