Modeling 101 Tips & Tricks

Pointing Your Toes: If you are posing for full length images barefoot, you will want to be sure your toes are pointed for all poses. It creates a seamless, and feminine line for your legs, making them appear longer. Flat feet look masculine and aren't pleasing to the eye in a photograph!

High Heels: Wearing heels tightens the leg and butt muscles as well as elongate the legs. You can also make a fashion statement of course with High Heels as they are the perfect accessory and completion to any wardrobe as there are SO many styles and colors!

Remove Hair Ties From Wrist: I'm guilty of it myself on a rare occasion, but no one wants to see a hair tie on your wrist in images. It doesn't look like an accessory, it looks like a hair tie, especially the ones with the metal pieces. They also create wrist lines. 

Stretch Your Neck: By stretching your neck, you elongate it as well. You don't want to lose your neck in images, as it makes it appear as your head is sitting on your shoulders. 

Practice Posing: Practice makes perfect! Become more comfortable posing by sitting or standing while posing in front of a full length mirror. This gives you an idea of the poses you like, what looks good, as well as help you learn great angles for your body and face! You can even try mimicking poses from magazine photographs! The more you do this, the more comfortable and versatile you will be on camera!

C-Curve and S-Curves: These are 2 different categories of feminine posing, that are meant to accentuate the curves on the body in images (as well as real life). The S-Curve is simply posing your body from head to toe forming a slight curve that resembles an S. The C-Curve is the same; forming the shape of a C with your body, typically by arching your back. Examples of both below!

Random Home Beauty Tips That REALLY work!!!

One of my favorite things is being able to try out home beauty tricks on my own, to see how they work! This list is FULL of amazing tips/tricks that not only work, but are so easy and accessible to just about anyone!

1. Persistent Pimple: Any toothpaste will work for this trick!! You don’t need to use much, just a dab will do. You don’t want to drown your pimple in toothpaste. Let it stay for an hour then wash, and rinse. The toothpaste will dry out the problem area, making a raised red pimple shrink significantly in size and as well as being lot less red. You can then cover with makeup!

2. Perfume Extender: Dab Vaseline on your wrists and/or neck then apply perfume to those areas. This will keep your scent vibrant all day!!!

3. Flat Hair Revitalizer: After shampooing your hair, put about 1 tbsp of baking soda in your hair, from root to tip. This will not only get rid of product build up, or any greasiness to your hair, it will add a lot of body and life to it as well!!! You should do this no more than once a week.

4. Freeze Your Eyeliner: If your eyeliner pencil crumbles or smudges, place it in your freezer for about 15 minutes. This way when you go to put it on, it draws smoothly!

5. Shimmery Natural Tan: Spike your lotion with body bronzer. Mix a few squirts of bronzer in with your lotion for a gradual, yet sexy and natural glow!

6. Heat Your Eyelash Curler: If you have stick straight lashes, try heating up your eyelash curler with your blowdryer for 15 seconds. This will give them a lovely curl!
