It’s pageant season, so you know what that means– more glitter, couture, and well thought of answers. Instead of focusing on all of that, we’re going to emphasize on a particular beauty look of Rabiya Mateo’s during the 2021 Miss Univerise Preliminary competition. This one really caught us off guard, because we didn’t expect a sudden change in makeup and hair during the latter part of the competition. During the evening gown segment, Rabiya Mateo was seen in a half-up hairstyle, which conceals her long and lavish locks. Aside from this, she also appears to have added a bit more makeup to her overall beauty look from her appearance in the swimsuit category.
We give a nod to all these tiny details presented by Rabiya during the preliminaries. Anyone who has ever stepped foot in a pageant, would know how hard it is to switch up looks during a show. Her ability to bring us slightly different looks may seem like a small feat, but in actuality it’s a big deal. Take a look at Rabiya’s usual beauty look below, so you can compare it to her preliminary looks.
Cat-like Smoky Eye
Pageant makeup is a different breed of makeup. It’s almost like theater makeup, but in a less dramatic way. If you’ve ever wondered why Rabiya’s on stage pageant looks are so different from her Instagram photos, it’s because the beauty queens have to stay under hundreds of spotlights that could wash out their faces. Aside from this, you’ll be standing amongst a hundred other beauty queens, so the balance of makeup needs to be at par with the others. Rabiya has always opted for a smoked out cat eye for her pageant look. In this way, it elongates her eyes without making it look too harsh.
Loose Waves
One of the unmistakable traits of Rabiya is her long, dark, and healthy hair. We first noticed how amazing her hair is when she arrived in the Miss Universe Philippines pageant. Her viral question and answer portion debuted her long locks, thus making the hairstyle almost a staple for Rabiya. For most of the competition, Rabiya’s hair was kept her hair down except during the evening gown segment. Surprisingly, she donned a half up hairdo, which we have never really seen her done before. In the end, it was the right move to do because her face was beaming against the yellow Furne One gown.
Nude Lipstick
Something that is also different from Rabiya’s photoshoot look and pageant look is her lipstick. On the stage, she consistently wears a peachy red tone that compliments the color of her skin. When she’s out and about or doing photoshoots, she can be seen wearing a light nude gloss. This all boils down to the rules of pageantry. Nude may be what fits her best, but it might not be the best pageant lipstick. This is why Rabiya opts for a peachy red that balances her lips with the heavy stage makeup she has on.
