From 94 beauties from the 2016 editions of the Big5 beauty pageants, Missosology Timeless Beauty 2016 was cut to only 20 semifinalists. And now, we’re down to the Top 10.
For the first round of voting, select members of the Missosology forum were tasked to pick the best 20 beauty queens. For the second phase, Missosology admins and global correspondents scored each of the Top 20 semifinalists to determine who moves forward to the final round.
After days of voting, here are the Missosology Timeless Beauty 2016 Top 10 finalists:

*IOSWT: “If Only She Were There” is an honorary title given by Missosology to a Big5 candidate who in our opinion deserves to be in the semifinals of her respective pageant but failed to make it.
The scores from the semifinals will be back to zero and the Top 10 will be subject to a final round of scoring with a different set of judges independent from Missosology. Their votes along with the public vote will determine who wins Timeless Beauty 2016.
