Fashion Modeling Tips

Obviously as a fashion model you must be concerned with your personal appearance.  Fashion modeling requires a fit and toned body that is not overly muscular.  Great hair, skin, teeth and overall grooming is also a good idea.  The following tips will help you develop a personal appearance and style that will get you booked.

1. Work out. Exercise will of course give you the fit body you need for fashion modeling, but it will also give you the energy and the a natural glow which will really help you to stand out.  Plus, you never know when you will book a job where you are required to run up and down stairs, jump, or perform some other athletic activity.  It also takes energy to walk up and down the runway! 30 Day Shred is a great model workout!
2. Get enough rest.To keep your face looking young, prevent under eye bags, and to keep you generally healthy, you need your sleep.  The term “beauty rest” is not just a cliche.
3. Drink lots of water. Water benefits you in every way from your skin tone to the health of your hair, teeth, and nails. 
4. Take it easy on the drinking, smoking, and other recreational substances. Basically, if you want longevity in this business you need to stay away from the toxins so that your body will stay younger longer.
5. Wear sunscreen and limit sun exposure. Wearing sunscreen is crucial toward keeping your skin healthy and young looking.  It also will prevent you from getting sunspots or freckles which can make you look old or weathered.  Staying out of the sun in the first place is even better.  Tanning is so 80′s.
6. Speaking of tanning… I’m going to talk to you like a friend here, if you are orange, you are doing too much. Compare your skin tone to a pumpkin or a terra-cotta planter.  If you seem to be the same or similar color, please let it fade.   The Oompa Loompa look is out.
7. Get your teeth whitened. It makes a big difference when  you have a brilliant smile.  Smile wide and compare your teeth to a white piece of paper or shirt.  Do they look yellow or gray?  Go ahead and buy some Crest WhiteStrips or sign up for a free trial on one of the more heavy duty products.  If you can afford it, you can also get this done with your dentist, of course.  And you can use whitening toothpaste.   Just make sure that you don’t overdo it. 
8. Keep your nails and feet properly groomed.  This is for ladies and men.  You can get
9. Don’t allow yourself to become too thin.  There is a delicate balance between “model thin” and showing way too many bones. 
10. Eat lots of fruits, veggies, and proteins.  This is also a great way to keep your skin and hair looking great, to keep your energy up, and to keep from getting too thin.  It all comes together.
