Casting Call Attire

Many models go wrong when it comes to correct attire for fashion show auditions. It's great to look ultra fabulous but not a casting call!!! No dresses, baggy pants, flashy jewelry, flat shoes etc. Proper attire consist of form fitting clothes and high heels. A tank top, skinny jeans and high heels will do. Keep it Nice and Simple! Shine Through, Be a Luminous Model!

Get GLAMOROUS with MinxGlamMakeup

Special Message from CEO:
" I started in this industry as a model, then was turned onto the path of a makeup artist, so I have two different artistic backgrounds from which to draw from as a photographer. I have been applying make-up for years now- it was a childhood pastime for me. I can ensure you that you will get the look you want, whether it`s a edgy, high fashion style or a more natural face. Either way, my experience in the art of cosmetics will give you what you desire for your photoshoot or event !. I love shooting all types of styles, and am open to new ones as well. 

     I am definitely open to working with wardrobe stylists, fashion designers, hair stylists, and even some fellow MUAs and photographers for collaborative shoots.

     Also, I am looking for models to test with as a photographer, who will receive TF photoshoots each month to help keep our portfolios well maintained. Interested models should visit my website at www.MinxGlamMakeup.com/becomeaminxymodel.htm and I will be with you ASAP."

Black History Month, Naomi Sims

 

Naomi Sims, the industry's first black supermodel. This incredible woman made a large impact on the modeling world by breaking barriers for women of color. She possessed all the graceful characteristics proved to be model potential. At the age of 13 she was 5'10. The remarkable height is perfect for the runway. Naomi set off to NYC when she was 18 to study at the fashion institute of technology, there she began to gain interest in fashion modeling. Due to the era of racial discrimination she was turned away from several auditions being told she was too dark to model. Every person that turned her away didn't crush her dreams, she gain more determination. As time went on she made history by being the first black women on the cover of a main stream magazine (Ladies Home Journal, 1968). After that there was no end. She later on became the cover girl of Life and Cosmo, and walked many runways including the legendary Halston. This fierce model accomplished all that many believed wouldn't happen. Along with that she open doors for other minorities to have opportunities to shine through as she did. After retiring in 1973 she went from model to mogul, owning a beauty based business and becoming an author of several books (How to be a Top Model, All About Success for the Black Woman). On August 3, 2009 we lost an significant women due to cancer. Naomi will always be remembered as the bold model mogul who made great change to the modeling industry!!!
