According to the organizers of the event, it is the first time anyone has chosen to compete without makeup.

While talking to the UK’s Independent newspaper, Raouf said,

“It means a lot to me as I feel many girls of different ages wear makeup because they feel pressured to do so,”

She expresses,

“If one is happy in their own skin we should not be made to cover up our face with makeup. Our flaws make us who we are and that’s what makes every individual unique,”

Similarly, Raouf plans to go bare-faced again at the national final in October. The event is set to hold on 17 October 2022 at the Heart of England Conference and Events Centre in Coventry.
