Miss Angie Watkins, a 20-year-old Basic Models Management model and winner of subsidiary title Miss Cagliari Cosmopolitan last year, says: "Always make eye contact."

Know your strengths

Miss Denise Pung, 22, a recent graduate from SIM Global Education, says: "Do a pose that accentuates your strengths. If you have long legs, show that."

Be comfortable

Vanessa Ho, 16, a Victoria Junior College student, says: "Practise walking in heels to get comfortable."

DON'TS

Slouch

Miss Selynna says: "It (shows that) your posture is bad."

Miss Watkins, who was a finalist on the fourth season of reality TV modelling series Asia's Next Top Model, adds: "Walk as if you have a string connecting you from your hips to the tip of your head, pulling you straight, almost like a puppet."

Wear heavy make-up

Melissa Poh, a 16-year-old secondary school student, says: "Don't put on too much make-up, it obscures your face."

Put others down

Vanessa says: "Some will criticise other girls during the walk-in. They won't go far in the competition because the judges also look at your personality."

Be over the top

Miss Pung says: "Don't be too posey."
