HOW TO BE THAT PERFECT MODEL WHEN YOU GO FOR CASTING CALLS

How to Fix Your Makeup for Great Looking Photos     

There are lots of things that can make you look great in photos, such as angles, lighting, the setting, your clothes, and the photographer's skill. But you can also help show yourself off to best advantage by getting the makeup right for photos and it might just be the opposite of what you expect as it's not all about caking it on!

Steps

1      

Avoid using too much makeup. When makeup is overdone, not only is this evident in real life but it also shows up in photographs. The only exception is for stage makeup but given you'd also have a fancy costume, then it would be clear to the viewer that it was for a performance.

Conceal blemishes using light foundation. Only place this foundation where you think it is needed, such as over pimples or on the sides of your nose, etc. Avoid caking your whole face in it.

Aim to have a matte face. A shiny face will reflect poorly in the camera and you won't look your best. To avoid too shiny a face, use matte-formula makeup to cover blemishes. For your eye area, use a creamy concealer with reflective qualities.#*Avoid any foundation or other makeup containing titanium dioxide if flash photography is likely (it is a commonly used sunscreen in makeup). The shielding effect of the titanium dioxide on your face will make your face appear washed out and mask-like.[1]

Highlight your best features. Place blush on the apple part of your cheeks and some glossy lipstick to highlight lips. If you want longer lashes, consider adding false ones.#*Avoid too much contouring; this can result in a washed-out look.[2] Be sure to balance the look though - either eyes or lips should be the focus, not both.Blush should be contoured to ensure skeletal detail is brought out in the photo.[3]

Lengthen your lashes. Lashes tend to look a little bare and sparse on the camera. Give yourself an advantage by using the mascara wand to apply mascara. Comb out your lashes with the mascara wand with a wiggling motion. Open your mouth and apply the mascara in a windshield wiping motion for length. Make sure your lashes aren't clumped and spidery, the camera picks up every detail.

Choose colors that look best in photos. Avoid pastels as these will wash you out. Colors the camera loves in makeup include reds, charcoal,emerald greens, golds and chocolate brown. Beige, tans and dusty shades do show up on the camera well. [4] Anything that is rich and deep in color should look good in a photo.

Exfoliate your lips. Unless you have the best editing team in the world, there is no way you can touch up chapped cracked lips in a photo. Warm your lips up with a washrag and apply any type of oil to your lips and buff away with a washcloth. Apply a nice layer of chap-stick to your lips to give them the dazzle they need.

Highlight for the camera. To add life to your face, swipe a highlight pencil(shimmery not glittery unless you want to look like fairy) under the arch your brow and blend it in with a brush or finger. Highlighting the inner corners of your eyes can help them look brighter and large. Draw a light line down the center of your nose and blend to define it for that shimmering glow.

Teeth. Swish with hydrogen peroxide, to give your teeth a healthy nice glow. You can also use lemons or baking soda for a all natural teeth whitener if you do not have any around. Remember not to get lipstick on your teeth and stay away from lipsticks that make your teeth look yellow.

Be sure to check your makeup prior to the shoot. That way you be reassured that it's in good condition or you can quickly touch up anything not quite right. For important events, such as a wedding, a career portfolio, a long-lasting family portrait, etc., seriously consider having professional makeup done. Explain to the makeup artist what the event is so that they can choose a look with you that suits the type of event.

Remember you can always customize your clothes or get a professional to turn them into something completely different.

Remember that fashion models (runway and catwalk ones especially) are often in very good shape. NOT skinny. you should exercise and eat right if you really want to look like a model. Being skinny does NOT look good. Being healthy looks good.

If you know how to sew, you can even make your own dresses or clothes you find in Fashion Magazines.

Models try different unique styles because of they confidence. They always choose comfortable but eye catching pieces and celebrates their body. You better be thin , if not try to cover it with black if you wanna look like a model. (Do not wear tight things if you are not thin. Wear black loose things, loose pants , high platform heels ext) (Target is not looking chic or elegant we're talking about models kind of wearing now. It's a unique way of express yourself)

They don't get cold, they wear like its spring in winter. Don't wear a lot of things and look like a pumpkin at winter days. Wear t-shirts instead of bulky grandma sweaters.

How to Walk Like a Catwalk Model

Tips                                    

Step gracefully, not like you're marching.

Don't move your arms or shoulders too much, and don't move an arm more than you move the other, or it will look like you have only one arm that works.

Videotape yourself walking, so you can understand what other people are seeing. Also, by keeping a visual record of your walk, you'll be able to trace your progress as you learn how to strut your stuff like a real supermodel would.

If you should trip, fall, or have any other unfortunate circumstance, recover gracefully. Smile, and keep going as if it never happened. Nothing will demonstrate your confidence like your performance under stressful circumstances.

And "Smize" like Tyra would say, meaning         SMILE WITH YOUR EYES.

Keep your posture from "H2T" Head to Toe

Watch supermodels walk the walk. Visit fashion shows and watch them on TV. Who were the models that stood out the most? What made them unique? How was her walk different from the others'? Learn from the best so that you don't have to reinvent the wheel.

You may trip. Catch yourself and brush it off.

Don't exaggerate by opening your eyes too much or lifting your legs too high while walking.
