As preparation for the August 31 grand coronation, finalists in the Miss Universe Jamaica (MUJ) Beauty and Wellness pageant will undergo an intensive routine.
According to Mark McDermoth, director of the Miss Universe Jamaica Organisation, franchise holders of the pageant, the preparation process will cover several areas.
“The contestants will undergo quite a comprehensive programme this year, with a major focus on wellness added to the usual mainstay of deportment, stage presentation, etiquette, communications and interview techniques. They will also receive tutorials in haircare, makeup, personal care, hygiene and skincare by our various product providers,” he disclosed.
McDermoth added that, “This year, our focus on wellness is predicated on the basis that the contestants and emerging 2019 title winner have to first be well themselves, prior to being able to take on the responsibilities of service to the MUJ Organisation and national-building. As such, we are extremely pleased with the dialogue we have been having with the Bureau of Gender Affairs about the entire business of wellness and how they can collaborate with us in designing programmes accordingly.
“To date, members from the bureau have already had training sessions with contestants regarding workplace ethics, among other workplace-related topics.”
During a media launch Tuesday evening at Eden Gardens Wellness Resort & Spa in St Andrew, the 18 finalists were introduced to the public for the first time since an elimination process two weeks ago.
They first appeared in casual wear by Loud Fashions, followed by swimwear designed by McDermoth and Karl Williams.
