Manika Vishwakarma may not have won the Miss Universe 2025 title, but she has certainly formed a connection with fans of the pageant. They couldn’t stop raving about her natural beauty after a makeup artist shared a behind-the-scenes video where she was spotted bare-faced.

Manika’s dazzling transformation

The makeup artist shared a transformation video on his Instagram channel, iboy_tvpool8, which began with Manika sporting no makeup. She looked radiant and fresh even without anything on her face. Her post-makeup look was equally stunning, with a gorgeous glow, beautifully done eyes, and glossy tinted lipstick.

Fans react to Manika’s no-makeup look

Fans couldn’t help but praise her flawless beauty. One user wrote, “She is indeed the most beautiful woman in the universe.” Another said, “No filler on lips, no Botox, no nose job like other girls.” A third commented, “She is gorgeous even without makeup.”

Many others supported her in the comments, saying, “No one can represent India the way she did this year. A real queen doesn’t need a crown.” A fan also wrote, “She is such a gem. So proud! You will always be a queen for us now till the end. She didn’t win the crown but won the heart of the world.”

Manika’s Miss Universe 2025 journey

Manika, who won Miss India 2025, represented the country at the 74th Miss Universe pageant. In the finale, she made it to the top 30 but could not reach the top 12. This year, Mexico's Fatima Bosch won the title. However, many netizens felt that the result was not fair due to political differences between the organisers.

This year’s Miss Universe pageant was surrounded by controversies. Ever since the change of leadership, there has been strife between the Miss Universe Organisation and the Vice President of Miss Universe for the Asiana region, Nawat Itsaragrisil. Things particularly went downhill after Bosch walked out on Nawat for calling her a “dumb head” during a livestream event.
