I'm only 5ft3 so I could never be a catwalk model, but people always tell me I have the face of a model, and that my eyes could be used on certain adverts advertising eye makeup and stuff.
I figured that if I could do some modelling, it would be a good experience and why not?
Also, it would be good to have some extra money from it.
But I'd like to know, what type of face do you need to have to be a model?
And what type of things can I model for where I don't need to be tall and straight up and down (like most catwalk models are)?
And just generally qualities that would help me, and how I should go about trying to get some modelling?

Most face models have high cheekbones, not all of them though. Agents and companies are always looking for new faces to put on advertisements. It's good to have a variety. You don't need to be tall to model for print work. Magazines and catalogs have short people too. I mean, sure, it's a plus to be tall in the moseling world, but it's not a necesity. Don't go to Barbizon. They take more money than they pay you. Research some local agencies and have a meeting with the ones you might like to work for. Don't just jump into an agency and not know thier background. When you have meetings, be sure to act like yourself, they don't want a girl with no personality, they want a girl whos personality will stand out in a picture. Don't dress all fancy either. Go in there in a nice pair of jeans and a nice shirt. Don't go all out, show who you are by what you wear. Don't expect results and 10 jobs at first either. It takes time to get your face out there. I hopes I helped you out. Good luck with the modeling! [ AdviceAsh's advice column | Ask AdviceAsh A Question ]

Also your eyes can be any shape they like as thats what makes everyone look different. their eyes. Have you not noticed all models have different eye shapes and colour but they all tend to have high cheek bones and a sharp jaw line.
hope i helped xx [ Lorrena's advice column | Ask Lorrena A Question ]
