The Pageant Circuit Can Be Grueling! 9 Ways Miss USA Contestants Relax

When you're in makeup all the time, sometimes a #treatyourself moment involves wearing nothing at all on your face. "I love a good day off without makeup. Competing with Miss USA, I wear a lot of makeup. I mean, I love to play with makeup — I love to try new colors and formulas, and I'd never say I'm not somebody who is makeup-free, because I'm not. But if there's a day that I really just want to relax, I will wear nothing on my skin or my eyes," Miss Maryland Brittinay Nicolette told us backstage. "Maybe I'll do a moisturizing mask because I have a lot of dry skin, but for me, a good, refreshing no-makeup day once in a while feels like I'm pampering myself."
