One thing that all models are required to have is clear skin, this is a must in the modeling industry. Some models are born with great skin and some models have to fake it. Pink Avenue Models has done their research and this is what your Chicago modeling agency found… tips on getting everlasting healthy, glowing, young looking skin. Follow these tips and you will look younger than ever.

*Eat pomegranate seeds.  Pomegranates are full of ellagic acid which block UV- induced free radicals that can cause wrinkles.  Studies say that drinking one glass of pomegranate juice a day or eating a cup of pomegranate seeds  can smooth fine lines.

* Use sirtuin activating creams. These creams will help repair DNA damage. Make sure that the creams that you buy have Vitamin B and resveratrol.

* Buy make up that has firming peptides, antioxidants and hydrating hyaluronic acid. Your make up shouldn’t just cover imperfections it should help your skin at the same time.

* Avoid wrinkles. Some wrinkles will obviously come with age but there are ways to prevent them. Smoking and drinking are the number 1 cause of wrinkles. Exposure to the sun is another wrinkle causer as well as pulling on your skin and wearing too much make up. The skin on your face is sensitive and thinner, it needs to be touched carefully.

* Eat foods with antioxidants. This means fresh fruits and vegetables, anything with vitamin E.

* Exercise at least 3 times a week. Exercising releases toxins and free radicals.

Follow these few steps for healthy, young looking skin.

Models usually have a make up artist for photo shoots and runway shows. Promotional models rarely get the VIP treatment of having a make up artist. One thing that all models should know how to do themselves is the smokey eye. This look is great for runway shows, print ads, trade shows, liquor promotions or just a night on the town. With these simple steps all models should be able to nail this look and it should take only 5 minutes!

* Use a primer so your eye make up won’t melt into the crease of your eyelids.

* Next use eyeliner. You can use black, grey or even purple if you are looking for a bold look. Line your lash line.

* Next fill in your lower lash line. This should not be as dark as the top liner. Eyeshadow is recommended for the bottom lash line. It is lighter and goes on easier with a smudged look.

*Next use a light shimmery eyeshadow from lash line to brow bone. Light pinks, purples, and greys are recommended.

* Now use a darker color from lash line to crease. Do not go above the crease with a dark eyeshadow. It’s too much!  Make sure that the shadow goes over the eyeliner, it blends better.

* Last step, mascara and lots of it!  Use a dark mascara that promises to add volume. If you are looking for a bolder look you can use colored mascara, purple or blue will really make your eyes pop.

These steps will give models the smokey look that they are looking for. Remember when going with the smokey look that you should keep your lip color simple. Bold eyes and bold lips is a little to much. This look is perfect for a night on the town, guys won’t be able to keep their eyes off of you.

Have you ever been told that you are to pretty to work? Can models be too pretty for the modeling industry? The answer is yes! Every client has a look that they are going for and that look is sometimes a very natural looking person, someone that doesn’t look like a model. This happens in promotions, trade show modeling, print, commercials and all other types of modeling. The main reason is that very attractive people can come off as intimidating and unapproachable.  Next time you show up to a casting play it simple, natural make up, simple hair, covered up but still sexy and use your personality.  Think the “girl next door” look. Being too pretty sounds like it may be impossible but it’s a reason why some models are not booked for certain jobs.  Models should take this as a compliment and move on to the next job.

How to tell if you are working as a promotional model or brand ambassador…

Promotional models are expected to show up with hair and make up done and present themselves as a model.

Promotional models wear cute dresses and are required to wear heels.

Promotional models usually have every expense covered for them including parking, lunch, hotel rooms, travel expenses ect.

Promotional models work awesome events and experience VIP treatment.

Brand ambassadors are required to look presentable but are never asked to show up looking glamorous.

Brand ambassadors usually wear a mens sized t-shirt , gym shoes and a hat.

Brand ambassadors pay for their lunch, parking and any other expenses.

Brand ambassadors also work awesome events but have to work a lot of sampling and street team events.
