What's in my show day bag?

By: Natalie Matthews

I travel out of state for most competitions. The bag that I bring with me as my carry-on doubles as my show day bag.  

1. Loose Dark Clothing: I like to bring an oversize hoodie and baggy pants.  I wear these to my tanning appointment on Friday, and I usually sleep in them until my next appointment on Saturday morning.  

2. Posing Suit: I bring my Angel Competition Bikinis posing practice suit for daily check-ins during peak week leading up to show day. Vegan Donuts for the win!

3. Emergency Kit: I keep touch up makeup, eyelash glue, tweezers, sewing kit, and contact eye lens solution.

4. ACBikini Robe: I wear my robe backstage to protect my tan; the crystals on the satin material make you feel confident and classy! 

5. Flip Flops: Staying comfortable on the big day is a must! 

6. Curling Iron or Flat Iron:  I keep these always in my bag in case I need to touch up on show day.

7. Clip-in Hair Extensions: I have short hair, so I bring my clip-ins with me to my hair appointments the morning of show day.
