Last October 8 and 9 was the last 2 pre-pageant events for the MassKara Queen Pageant.

Fantasy Make-up

October 8, Saturday. The Fantasy Make-up competition at the Fountain Area of Robinson's Place Bacolod where not only the MQ ladies competed for the best in Fantasy Make-up but also their make-up artists.

Each lady has different themes: there was an alien of some sort, a red butterfly, an avatar, a green butterfly, a spider, a dragon, a fish and a lot more.

The artists were only given an hour and thirty minutes for the make-up and costume preparation of their MQ candidates before the fashion show of their masterpieces. Some already brought ready-made props and costumes but their make-ups must be done on the spot where everyone could see the transformation of the ladies faces.

Designers' Night

October 9, Sunday. The Designers' Night was held at SM City Bacolod Event Centre. The MQ ladies flaunt the gowns and clothes made by their assigned designer in a mini fashion show. This night is a competition of the designers. They will be the ones to make the evening gowns of their assigned MQ ladies during the pageant night.

• John-john Ditching with the 60's theme for MQ candidates #1 (Nikki Drilon) and #3 (Kathleen Matillano)
• Tony De Ramos with the 50's theme for MQ candidates #2 (Allysa Marie Villarico) and #4 (Abegail Rose Valdez)
