Breaking into theindustry!

The stories you hear about models are always the ones that resemble a fairy tale. This guy was waiting in line to see a movie when a talent scout spotted him and signed him up to his agency. Unfortunately, this is the exception.

The way models get work is through an agent who gets a 10% to 33% cut. Some models can freelance, but that’s not how they’ll land the major gigs.

An agent will get you bookings, as well as advise you on how your career should de-velop. Here are the most common ways to get signed with an agency.

Open call: Once in a while an agency will hold an open call, opening their doors to everyone. On this specified date, any-one can show up at the office and wait their turn. When you’re called in, the people in charge will look at you and determine in less than a minute if you have potential. If you don’t, you’re dismissed. Forget about bringing professional photographs, they won’t matter.

MOdel search: Similar to an open call, a model search is held by agencies who travel to small towns looking for model gold. However, because they had to travel to your location, model searches usually require a small processing fee, something along the lines of 25$ U.S.. You might be rejected, but you’ll get to meet industry professionals.

MOdeling cOnventiOn: This op-tion is perfect for someone who wants to improve his chances. Comparable to the model search, the convention has rep-resentatives from a number of different modeling agencies, which makes it easier for vyou to kill several birds with one stone. However, you must have some seri-ous money, because it can cost you be-tween $400 and $4000 to attend such an event.

scOuting cOMpany: A more or less economical method of putting yourself on the marketplace is to use a scouting company. For between $60 and $150, you submit your profile to them online and they’ll forward your information to ma-jor agencies. Reputable scouting servic-es include www.modelscouts.com and www.minxmodels.com.

On yOur Own: Never underestimate your own marketing ability. You can call agencies and ask them when their next open call is. If one isn’t scheduled, ask if you can drop by their offices any-way. By calling many agencies, you might find one willing to evaluate you.

If you thInk you have what It takes to become a model, It’s quIte possIble you do.

Living the ModeLLife

If you’re serious about modeling for a living, con-sider moving to New York City, the modeling capital of the U.S.. From there, you’ll meet the right peo-ple who may get you work all over the world. Nev-ertheless, if you live in a secondary market like Houston, Chicago or Seattle, you might still find work there doing catalogs, TV commercials or flyers.Keep your day job. Modeling can be profitable for a select few, but most models need another job to make ends meet. Also, don’t spend everything you make because modeling isn’t a career that’ll carry you through to retirement. You need to plan your fi-nances carefully so that you still have money left after you retire from the business.

Finally, prepare yourself for an exhausting life. You will often find yourself in airports, travel-ing from one assignment to another. You’ll spend a great deal of your time at appointments with adver-tisers and you’ll be required to smile for hours on end and change clothes during interminable pho-to shoots. On the upside, you’ll get invited to the best parties and meet some of the hottest women in the world.

Like any other job, modeling has its advantages and inconveniences. If you’re ready to live with both, jump in and have fun.

Just remember what Ben Stiller said in Zoolander : “A male model’s life is a precious, precious com-modity. Just because we have chiseled abs and stun-ning features, it doesn’t mean that we too can’t not die in a freak gasoline fight accident.”

If you want smart advice on lipstick, make-up, and beauty I’m the the Guru you want to link up with. I will let you know all the goods on makeup artist in this industry. A make-up artist (or ‘makeup art-ist’) is an artist whose medium is the human body, applying makeup and prosthetics for theatrical, television, film, fashion, magazines and other simi-lar productions including all aspects of the mod-eling industry. Fashion makeup is used in magazine photography as well as on the fashion runway. Avant Garde makeup is also an applicable technique used for projects that require experimental themes.

A talented makeup artist can transform a per-son into someone or something completely differ-ent, whether it’s for beauty, costume or just for the sake of art. In the world of beauty, there are endless tips, tricks and rules to keep you looking fabulous. the more beauty tips you know, the better you’ll be prepared to handle every situation thrown at you and look good while doing so.

Clothes are a simple yet easy way to bring life to someone’s ability to stand out of the crowd and express themselves freely. Style has become a personal preference due to various fashion trends and the ability to blend trends togeth-er. Fashion tends to get more complex as it is broken down into culture, class and even coast.

In this instance, we will take a walk down the New York runway and jet set over to the sunny coast of California.

Making a statement not only rest on a complete decision of choosing your fa-vorite classic Diane Von Furstenberg wrap to Michael Stars t-shirt and 7 Jeans.

New York tends to set the standard for all things innovative and fashion for-ward when it comes to trends, or if you take the tagline from the infamous SEX AND THE CITY movie 30, Flirty and Thriv-ing, although some of us many not be close to 30, all of us dream to wear that flirty and thriving outfit.

Draped in tattoos as she sits smiling in a crowded room…Mo-nique Butler waited her turned patiently. The air stood thick that day as the room filled with tension. You could tell from her expression that she was no longer presence as she became lost in thought. Instead, she drifted to a land of her own hidden been a smile and glazed eyes. This land is draped with the shadows of the past and future. She was silent and the world around her was in total chaos.

“I’ve come a long way. I’ve done a lot things and I’ve seen a lot of things. . And no, I am not proud of it but it was my life and it made me stronger and it made me the person I am today.”

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Monique moved to Compton, Califor-nia with her mom at the age of 13. But life wasn’t always as picture perfect for her. Instead, she was the modern day Jenny from the block that suffered from the old fashion battles of confidence, family matters and the life of growing up in the streets.

“I wasn’t always this person or this girlie girl that people see now…in fact, I was more so a tomboy if anything. I mean…I grew up in streets but I don’t let that bother me. As a mat-ter of fact, confidence was something that I struggled with the most at first. But now, I feel as if I don’t compare to other models. I feel like I’m actually in a category of my own.”

o v e r C o M i n g t h e o d d s

Smiling and laughing, Monique reminisced about those awkward moments. And said, that she was able this gain that confidence during the tender age of 14 when her mom began entering her into local beau-ty pageants. Although, she still considers herself a tomboy. She said it was mainly the glitz and glam that converted her over to the light. Once that happened, she soon traded her Jordan’s for a nice pair of Christian Louboutin’s.

“ It started to grow on me! Because I was taking so many pictures and getting my hair done all the time that I began seeing myself differently. I mean… I’ve always dreamed of doing runway modeling even though I am not the tallest person in the world.”

But that dream soon became distant as her world around her began to change. A bigger issue was at hand where she soon had to place them on hold to help her family.

“I had to take care of my family. And that was very emotional for me… At first it was sad because it was something that I really wanted to do. I mean…I dreamed about it. I woke up to thoughts about it. But, for me…the realty everyday was me waking up knowing that I have to put it aside for a minute and come back to it. And that was the emotional and scary part. Because you have those that can pick up the pieces and go straight to it and then you have those who are not that fortunate do so.”

But what seemed like an emotional experience soon became the strengthening block of strength and con-fidence. She is no longer Jenny from the block but more so Monique Butler. Her brand is unique and she only 5’3. But for her, the skies the limit and she’s no longer hiding behind those boyish clothes and Jordan sneakers.

There’s a lot to learn about makeup and beauty out there—even we’ll admit that it can be overwhelming at times. Whether you’re a veteran who executes a killer smoky eye on the regular or a beginner who struggles with foundation application, these 5 makeup tricks are absolutely key.

TIPS

1 Use a tissue lightly to wipe foundation off your cheeks for a natural finish.

2 Put a bit of concealer on a small brush to “erase” lipstick mistakes.

3 Place a shimmer high-lighter below the brow bone to lift and add brightness.

4 Use an eyelash curler for a wide-open eye look.

5 Use your freshly cleaned fingers to warm and blend makeup.

Use these tips in your ev-eryday makeup wear. I’m sure it will cut down on your ‘I don’t know why it came out like this’ mirror face. You know we’ve all been there. Some days can be better than others. Fol-low these tips with consis-tency and you’ll be belting out “I woke up like this!” And remember: you never know who your going to meet when you step out into this world everyday. So make it count!

And to top things off, this new era is ALL ABOUT BROWS BABY! From the most glammed out look to soft and natural, the per-fect brow takes the cake. Wouldn’t you agree?A little can go a long way when we are talking brows. For a soft look use a brow or shadow powder that matches your current hair color. If your hair is black go with a dark brown shade. Sharpie brows are a hot disaster, proceed with caution.

Until next time love, peace, brow, and crease.
