The Miss New York and Miss New Jersey United States pageants are hosting a free pageant workshop on Saturday, December 10th at Diane & Company in Freehold, NJ. You may have seen me promoting this event on my Instagram and Snapchat, but I wanted to give you all of the details so you know exactly what to expect.

National pageant coach Chris Franz will be providing a coaching workshop

Chris also features a series of articles called “The Judges Point of View” offering tips and advice to benefit both the novice and seasoned pageant contestant. Additionally, Chris has sat on judging panels at the national, state, and local levels. He has judged for many pageant systems including Mrs.America, Mrs. United States, Miss USA, Miss Teen USA, Miss United States, Miss America, Miss American Beauty, and the Miss US International Pageants.
As a Pageant Coach he has to date coached pageant contestants to Five National Titles and multiple State Titles.

1. The Interview & On stage Question

I will be hosting a pageant makeup workshop

I have been involved in the Miss United States system since 2007. I competed on the national stage in 2012 and 2013, placing in the top 5 and top 15. In 2014 and 2015, I served on the national judging panel. I know exactly what it is like to be a contestant, but I also know exactly what the judges are looking for since I have experienced being in both positions. I earned my certification from celebrity makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic in May 2016. Through the growing success of my YouTube channel, LadyCode, I have become recognized in the makeup world and beauty industry. I work regularly with YSL Beauty, Rimmel London, E.L.F. Cosmetics, Pixi By Petra, and Charlotte Tilbury as a content creator.

I will be doing a demo on one lucky volunteer on:

1. Contour/highlight
2. Blush/bronzer
3. Illuminators

Following the demonstration I will let you ask any questions you may have about competing, recommended makeup products, or even how to create a presence on social media! The first 10 girls will receive a free notebook and pen so you can take notes throughout the course, and I also have a gift basket worth over $75 in makeup for one lucky girl.
