The Theme: Blush & Bloom

This year’s Blush & Bloom theme invites participants to explore the softer, feminine side of beauty. Think of delicate blush tones, radiant highlighters, and floral-inspired colours as well as floral embellishments that bring a sense of freshness and renewal to your look. From rosy cheeks to petal-pink eyes, your makeup will bloom with creativity. It’s the perfect opportunity to step outside the box and create a stunning, ethereal look.

Judging Criteria: Bold Shades, 3-D Techniques

Floral-Inspired Makeup
The beauty of flowers can serve as your muse. Think petals, floral gradients, or even flower motifs. By incorporating floral designs into your makeup, you can bring the Blush & Bloom theme to life. Whether it’s through floral stencils, soft pastels, or the art of blending, flowers offer endless possibilities for interpretation and creativity.

Mastering the Blush Effect


Blush is more than just a flush of color—it’s a way to sculpt, define, and breathe life into the face. In the Blush & Bloom concept, participants can experiment with blush placement, using it not just on the cheeks but as an artistic tool across the face. Blush can be swept across the eyelids, blended into the temples, or even paired with soft highlighter to create a blooming, radiant effect.

Each contestant will bring their unique style, creating looks that range from soft and romantic to bold and imaginative.
