Thanks to Steve Harvey’s now infamous cock-up when announcing the winner of Miss Universe, the global beauty pageant has been receiving more publicity and interest than usual (Was it a PR stunt? Hmmm…). However, before that live TV blunder, someone was promoting the Sunday’s show with the hashtag, #ConfidentlyBeautiful, encouraging viewers to shares no make-up selfies.

However, nobody really wanted to see a bunch of unattractive average Joes, what we really wanted was to see the contestant share what they really look like with all the beauty and glamour stripped away.

So, how did they fare? Are they really as hideous as the rest of us? Let’s see;

Miss Colombia:

Miss Argentina:

Miss Australia:

Miss Ghana:

Miss Peru:

Miss Bahamas:

Miss South Africa:

Miss Indonesia:

Miss Ireland:

Miss Haiti:

Miss Ecuador:

Okay.

So it turns out they’re just as beautiful (if not, more) without make-up. How about that for a self-esteem booster?

However, I’m waiting for the day where a female from another planet finally wins Miss Universe… I’m sick of Earth always taking the crown.
