Welcome to my blog. I am Lerato; I joined a modeling agency and loved every moment of it but instead of going through and pursuing my career in modeling, I thought it would be a great idea to start a modeling agency. I realised that I'd rather help others reach their dreams than just to have a modeling career to please myself..I've dedicated my life to Aspiring Models and Model training. This Is Me and What I do; you can read all about Models|Fashiom|Entertainment|Events on my blog

- Hold the mascara wand in a vertical position while applying.
- Wiggle the brush right into the roots of the lashes for a lush look and increase volume.
- Always sweep the lashes outwards; not straight out ans concentrate on the outer corners.
- Leaving the low lashes bare can create a lovely fresh wide-eyed look.

3 Suggestions for Getting The Most Out of Your Pictures
Suggestion #1 - Head Shot Tips
Head shots are usually one of the first and most basic pictures that a model must have in her portfolio. While you might think this should be a stiff formal picture, just the opposite is true. It should be a relaxed and comfortable shot that features you in middle colors, nothing to drab but nothing flashy either. When you go in for your head shot photo session, wear very little jewelry as you do not want to detract from the beauty of your facial features.
Suggestion #2 - Learning How to Pose for Model Photos
Look through magazines to find poses you think would work for you, then practice them in the mirror. Have a friend take modeling pictures of you in the various poses so that you can see how they look (not to be used in your portfolio) and make adjustments to your poses.
Suggestion #3 - Look the Part of a Modeling Professional in Your Pictures
Great posture is a must in modeling and not something that comes natural to anyone, no matter how beautiful the woman or girl is. So, make sure those shoulders are up and the back is straight.
When you're taking a picture in a sitting pose, make sure that you have your weight shifted to one leg to give the look the right angles. Another tip is to suck in your stomach, no matter how thin you already are. Don't hold your breath while the shot is being taken as it's sure to show in the pictures.

Your model portfolio book will be made up of a book with anywhere between 10 and 25 photos normally consisting of 9x12 prints. You will want a good selection of different types of 'looks' in your portfolio.How Tall are You?Start with your height. This is a crucial aspect. The high fashion industry has certain demands.As for the girls, it's generally more like 1.7+. Now, on to the overall appearance. Think about ...straight white teethradiant clear skinawesome haira toned bodyNaturally you want to be symmetrical. Hey, this is high fashion modeling we're talking about here...

...Tips For Runway Models...
1. Get shoes
Make sure your shoes fit well and are comfortable for walking. At first you might even use masking tape to prevent slipping when you do your runway model walk.
2. First walk rule for models
When you begin, make sure and land on the balls of your feet – not your heels – stay balanced
3. Arms and the female model walk
Your arms should be kept close to your body and let them swing naturally from side to side going from front to back, this forces your hips to move as you are walking giving you that female high fashion model look.
4. Body posture
Remember the old book on the head routine? Well, it’s true! Your posture needs to be very good for a complete modeling walk. Keep your back straight with your rump tight.
Shoulders should be back and your chest should be out. Think in very long lines – this makes you look taller and confident when you are walking the runway (or even a sidewalk for an editorial photo shoot). Keep your head straight (but not too high) with your chin slightly out. Now you’ve got the look!
5. Practice – Practice – Practice!
I can’t emphasize this enough. Nothing works unless you do. As a beginner, start by walking casually up and down a hallway. Be sure and use the tips for the model walk written.
Tip: When doing a female fashion runway walk – make sure your head is the last thing that moves when you are ready to make the end of the catwalk turn. You’ve seen the high fashion models do this pretty much every time but you need to consciously make yourself do them at first. Then they will become more and more natural as you practice walking.
Once you have these moves to the point of using them without thinking, you are one step closer to becoming a professional female model. Now, get out the shoes, go back over this tutorial, and learn the runway model walk so you’ll be ahead of the pack when job opportunities arise. Good luck
