Now, on to you! Here are 3 steps to creating a look to be considered for any work within the beauty modeling industry:

1. Take care of your skin.

It's so important! Hydrate on all fronts: drink plenty of water and moisturize. Plus, vitamin c cream is your best friend for a healthy look.

2. Your hair should be classic, clean and healthy-looking.

Try not to be too trendy with color or cuts, seeing that you may be looked over when a particular look is needed.

3. Attitude!

Most importantly I know we have all heard handsome is as handsome does. When you radiate positivity from the inside out, there is no better beauty than that.
