Transcript:How to Get a Beauty Queen Smile

Hi! I'm Victoria Briseno, Miss Texas Plus America 2007 and I'm Lauren Stewart Miss Texas Plus America 2008. Today we're going to give you some easy tips on how to smile like a beauty queen.

Cleaning Teeth for a Beauty Queen Smile

Having a great smile is like a work of art. And just like any piece of art, you have to start with a nice clean canvas. So make sure you regularly brush and floss your teeth. Once a day is fine...twice a day is better. But just to go that one step further, I take a travel toothbrush and toothpaste to brush after lunch. A little bit of food in between your teeth or a hint of bad breath will kill your smile. So brush, floss and repeat.

Talking With a Beauty Queen Smile

One of the things we have to master as beauty queens is to talk and smile at the same time. When conscious about it, it may seem hard to do. But think about it; when you're flirting or on an interview, you do it with ease! So just practice doing this so it looks natural and not at all fake.

Tips for a Beauty Queen Smile

Next, when smiling, try not to over smile and show too much of your gums. Try to keep your smile small and dainty.

If you're having a hard time maintaining your smile and you're having to fake it, try to remember the last thing that made you laugh. That will keep your smile natural!

And finally, what's the point of having a charming smile if the frame puts people off? Carry with you lip gloss or chap stick at all times to make sure your lips are moisturized and not chapped.

Follow these tips and you won't just smile like a beauty queen, you'll look like one too. Thanks for joining us. For more information, please visit us on About.com.
