And just like that, the Miss Universe pageant has come to an end. A huge congratulations are in order for the new queen hailing from Nicaragua, Sheynnis Palacios. We are equally proud of our very own contender, Michelle Marquez Dee, who made it to the coveted top 10! From the preliminaries to the finals, she never failed to stun the crowd with her striking beauty, grace, edge, and elegance.

And speaking of stunning, we have to give a special mention to one of our own, former Miss Universe 2018, Catriona Gray. She served as the evening's correspondent and boy did she look stunning both on and off screen! Clad in a fiery Anthony Ramirez, Catriona wowed with a beauty look that mesmerized.

In a pre-pageant shoot shot by young photographer Alan Segui, Catriona served major beauty yet again in a look created by a talented group of creatives including her go-to glam team, makeup artist Jelly Eugenio and hairstylist Paul Nebres. In the look, her deep set eyes are showcased with dramatic shadow, winged liner, and wispy eyelashes. Even more drama is done with her hairstyle—a fan-like look that perfectly framed her flawless face!

And that's not all! Halfway through the competition, Catriona served yet another beauty bomb with an ethereal damsel look, complete with dramatic curls and stained glossy lips. Truly, our eyes have been blessed!
