Ghana’s representative, Faith Maria Porter, has won the Bare Face Challenge at the Miss Grand International All Stars edition, scoring 9.74 in a segment that evaluates contestants on natural appearance, confidence, and stage presence without heavy makeup.
The competition took place in Bangkok, Thailand, where contestants from several countries participated in one of the pageant’s preliminary rounds.
The Bare Face Challenge requires contestants to remove makeup and present themselves naturally on stage. Judges assess participants based on confidence, facial presentation, poise, and overall stage presence.
Porter’s score of 9.74 placed her among the top performers in the round, with some reports indicating she was among the leading contestants in the Bare Face rankings.
The segment is part of the Miss Grand International All Stars format, which combines traditional pageant elements with newer evaluation rounds designed to highlight authenticity and natural presentation.
Pageant observers note that the Bare Face Challenge reflects a growing trend in international beauty competitions toward emphasizing natural beauty and personality.
Porter, who previously placed 3rd runner-up at Miss Grand International 2025, continues to strengthen her profile on the international pageant circuit as Ghana’s representative.
