first off do NOT do what the first girl said. you dont just call up makeup companies- they would get very annoyed and they dont just hire girls off the street- every cosmetics company and beauty product company uses modeling agencies to find girls for ads and campaigns, so youd need to be signed with an agency first. its extremely tough to get signed, and you need to fit a lot of really strict physical criteria. most aspiring models think you only need to be tall for runway, but thats not the case; any model who wants to model clothing or beauty in print also has to be tall, slim and fit sample sizes (size 2 or 4). unfortunately, you cant just have a pretty face, even if you are just modeling makeup or the like. criteria that modeling agencies require are as follows:


1) be at least 5'8, although some agencies sign 5'9 and up unless you have an amazing look and are 5'8


2) fit sample size clothing, which would be a size 2 or 4


3) have the right measurements: typically 34-24-34 or very close to


4) have a unique look that photographs well (especially for beauty, you must have excellent skin, hair and teeth as well)


5) stand out in a sea of beautiful, tall and thin girls who are also submitting to the agency.





if you live in or near a big city, thats where youd want to look for agencies, as smaller towns typically dont have many, if any, opportunities for models or legit agencies. also beware of modeling ';schools'; and agencies that ask you for any money at all up front or a fee for being signed, as well as places that tell you you need to use a specific photographer and pay for pictures. about 90% of the opportunities out there for models and people that claim to be agents are frauds, so aspiring models have to be extremely careful, especially when just starting out. getting work in any division of modeling is incredibly difficult, but beauty is something that is cutthroat competitive, so its not just as easy as calling MAC and asking if you can model for them- theyd probably hang up on you. very experienced models typically get to do things like that, and you must have a look that really stands out against the thousands of other gorgeous girls out there trying to do this. if you want any more info or advice, you can email me; ive been a model for about 7 years and have been advising aspiring models for the past yearHow does one get into modeling for cosmetics or Hair ?
Apply online at different cosmetic companies. MAC is a big one.
