Guyanese hairstylist, Miguel Ram joins prestigious MUBA team for Miss Universe Pageant 2024

The dreams of local hairstylist and makeup artist Miguel Ram, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Miguel’s Beauty Creation, became reality when he was selected to be part of the MUBA Stylist team – the official brand of Miss Universe every year.
Ram is the first Guyanese to have been so honoured, and he is the first Caribbean national to have been given the opportunity to work alongside this prestigious brand for such an iconic and global event.
The renowned stylist travelled to the Dominican Republic in late June to officially audition, and after much hard work and anticipation, he became one of the few persons selected to participate in this exciting and life-changing journey. Ram will now set out to not only represent Guyana, but to showcase his work and talent on an international stage, where he would work with beauty queens from across the globe. This achievement is nothing short of a dream come true for the talented Guyanese.
Ram is no stranger to the local beauty and pageant industry. Having worked with countless pageant contestants and queens, and pageant organizations directly, his involvement in these areas has inspired him to aim higher and to audition to be a part of something bigger.
He noted that the need for local make-up artists and stylists to venture beyond Guyana was the driving force in his seeking opportunities like these. Ram believes that representing and showcasing one’s talent on such a grand stage is a stepping stone to creating a difference, and to inspiring change within the local beauty industry in Guyana.
In sheer excitement, he recalled turning up to the audition feeling nervous but confident, and with a desire to make Guyana proud. Out of more than 50 persons who had auditioned, only six were successful, and thereafter selected.
It was a moment of shock for the Guyanese makeup artist when his name was announced. In that moment, he knew there would be a shift in his career and, ultimately, his life for the better. The young man is now taking his career and talent to another level of greatness.
The 73rd edition of the Miss Universe Pageant is slated for November, and will be held in Mexico. His selection to officially be a part of the MUBA stylist team would position Ram to work alongside other talented makeup artists and stylists from different parts of the world; and the aim is to add glamour and style to the competing contestants of this year’s Miss Universe Pageant.
He is confident this would be a turning point in his life, as MUBA is a top-tier makeup brand that has worked for prestigious events such as New York Fashion Week, Latin American Grammy, and the American Music Awards. This opportunity gives the young man a chance to be a part of these events as well, through MUBA.
The stylist/MUA has expressed his gratitude for the support received from the Guyanese community, and is certain that he would represent the Golden Arrowhead well.
