Open Casting Call Makeup Tricks

Today  i am going to try something a bit different and we are going to go through a few make up tips from industry professionals in relation to an open casting call for models.

As most of you are aware, open casting calls are just that. it is open to everybody signed or not. usually they have hundreds of hopefuls that attend with the idea of catching the Booker's eye.

In this blog, I am going to give you a few tips and tricks that you can implement when going to your open casting call

Now we all want to look our very best and cover up all the imperfections we may have when attending the casting, but did you know, this wont allow the Booker to see what they are working with? follow these simple steps and get even closer to booking your next job!

First off,  you want to come in looking almost like a blank canvas, you want to have a fresh face so they can see what they have to work with, this can be achieved with a simple nude look

Go with light foundation if you are a girl, if you have loads of foundation on, they not sure what you are hiding and might feel it will be more work trying to discover it, than choosing the next girl that appears fresh.

 Do not wear concealer to cover up freckles or character marks as you will look too perfect and again, they wont know what you are hiding and how  they will be able to develop you.who knows, that blemish could be your best selling point.

Accentuate your eyes,  but don't go for smokey or bold colours. Instead use a light mascara and nude colours. by all means use lash defining mascara and anything that will enhance your natural look, but whatever you do, do not go in with over done evening wear make up, no matter how beautiful you think it looks.

When using blushers/bronzers- again, keep it light, young and fresh.

In relation to eyebrows, do not go with the trendy dramatic look, instead fill them in but keep it natural

Keep away from self tanners and anything that makes you look orange. none of us want to look pasty, but go for a colour that makes you look as if you stepped off the beach and are sun kissed rather than you having stepped out of the Tan Can.

False Eyelashes are a definite no go and eyeliner should be kept to the bare minimum. The aim for the open casting calls is to find someone fresh and vibrant, not to find someone who is glammed up to the nines.

Remember ladies, less is more and save the full works for a night out with your friends and keep your professional look separate form your everyday look.

I look forward to seeing you, gracing the pages of magazines!

Go Get 'Em!
