Beyond beautiful.

Those were the words that Miss Nicaragua 2018 Adriana Paniagua used to describe our Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray, when she posted a photo of her natural look on Instagram.

"This is the skin I wake up in every day. I love playing with makeup and being glam, but I've also grown to love the skin I wake up in acne scars, moles and all," Queen Cat said in her post.
