Getting to be in the main event at the Miss Universe is no simple stunt. These ladies spend a lot and on a small budget. They have to pay their own airfare, their clothes and even for their make-up.
Save for wardrobe, entry fee and travel. The entry fee can be as much as $1,000, and you need a dress which can cost upwards of $5,000. Hair and make-up can cost $400 per hour. You will also need money to cover your travel costs.
Buy high-quality makeup. Don’t use makeup products from discount stores. Instead, buy quality makeup from department stores and specialty shops.

At times things could go wrong and the real winner might be forgotten and the wrong winner takes the crown. However this can only happen once in a blue moon.
