The Ultimate Pageant Prep Kit Checklist

Published by Tatyana Beerbower, Craft-n-Go on Jul 9th 2025

Pageant day – it is filled with so many emotions like excitement, nerves, adrenaline, and so many more, but stress shouldn’t be one of them. You should feel at ease when heading into rehearsal, interview, or on-stage moments, because those are the ones that matter most. When you have more time to shine, your confidence builds, and the secret to confidence? It starts with being prepared.

So, how can you ensure that you are competition day ready? There are so many things you can do, but a big one is to stay organized. How many times have you reached an event only to realize that you forgot some of your most important supplies. This is the worst feeling. If that’s you, there’s no need to worry, because we’ve got you covered! Here is a brief checklist that helps you stay organized as you pack for your big day on stage or in the interview room.

There are three categories: beauty, wardrobe, and extra/emergency supplies. There’s also some room towards the bottom of the checklist for you to add your own items too.  

Want to take it a step further? Invest in a Standard Craft-n-Go Case. It keeps your most used beauty supplies and accessories visible, accessible, and secure. It makes traveling to and from events so easy, and not to mention, it looks polished and professional.

The Craft-n-Go Case was designed with on-the-go creatives in mind, and it is perfect for all your pageant necessities. For setup inspiration, refer to our blog “Craft-n-Go’s Journey to Ohio: National Pageant Edition” where 2023-2024 ARB Miss Minnesota, Tatyana, takes her Craft-n-Go Case to her very first national pageant. It is the perfect example of how to set up your case for maximum efficiency.

Beauty supplies, wardrobe, and extra/emergency supplies can start to add up fast and can cause quite a bit of stress on pageant day, but remember, confidence starts with being prepared. Just know that you are in control of the day when you have the right tools to support you!
