Check out the real industry experience of Backstage Academy's makeup students, this time as part of the official backstage hair and makeup team!
Under the dazzling lights of Pavilion Damansara Heights Mall, the Mrs Asia Pageant 2026 culminated in a grand finale.
Contestants from all walks of life conquered the stage with their elegance, confidence, and mature charm, proving that “beauty has no expiration date” and that the second half of life can still be brilliant.

The stage's brilliance comes from the thoughtful preparation behind the scenes.
The atmosphere backstage on the day of the finals was tense and energetic.
Contestants continuously go in and out of the makeup area, with the hair and makeup team working under time pressure to touch up their makeup, fix their hairstyles, and adjust details.
Every application of makeup, every setting spray, and every touch-up of lighting is done to ensure they present their most perfect state on stage.
Backstage, the students displayed a surprisingly professional demeanor on stage:
- Rapidly adapt to stage lighting changes
- Communicate with the photography team about on-camera appearance
- Stay calm under pressure
- Enhance each participant's personal charm with professional techniques.
Their mission is not to change the contestants, but to make each wife “more herself, more radiant, and more confident” on stage.
