I'm looking through Facebook this morning. I came across a post about the beauty pageant expert who asserted that beauties are not allowed to use colored lenses while competing to become the next queen. At first, it seems strange to me, and I believe that the pageant industry is getting more rigid. As of now, it is still an opinionated statement from the expert, and it has not been implemented yet.
Why should those queens be prohibited from using colored contact lenses?
Any thoughts about it?

Well, to start with, if they are going to ban everything aesthetically plastic, they should also ban surgeries, but that would be a whole process of going backwards.Those times when the beauty standards were that women should fight natural, I even remember many contests from the 60s and 70s That women had a little belly and the officials didn't have 90 60 90.What we want is for a woman to be naturally beautiful, and wearing contact lenses may completely change the real beauty of that person.

You're right. Additionally, I believe it is beneficial to display their eyes' true color. If they represent their various nations, it is important that they display their true identities and ethnicities. That being said, having this kind of suggestion violates preferences.
