A model test is your chance to showcase natural beauty, movement, and charisma. To make a strong impression, it’s important to prepare both your look — and your mindset.
Appearance: natural and fresh
Hair — clean, natural, and product-free. A bit of messiness is better than overstyling.
Makeup — minimal. Light definition for brows and lashes, moisturized lips.
A light foundation or BB cream is totally fine to even out your skin tone — especially if you have breakouts or redness.
The key is for the skin to look fresh and real, not overly made-up or heavy.
Nails — neat and neutral. No bold colors or heavy decorations.
Avoid: heavy makeup, complex hairstyles, long fake nails.
What to bring with you
Basic wardrobe:
- Black and white tank tops or fitted tees (simple cuts, thin straps)
- Well-fitting jeans or black pants — no distracting details
- Bodysuit or simple underwear — if physique shots are needed
- Oversized shirt — for casual looks
- Black opaque tights or leggings — for full-body shots
Important: Clothes must be ironed, shoes must have clean soles.
Footwear:
- Best option: barefoot or simple shoes (neutral flats, clean ankle boots)
Avoid: bright colors, chunky accessories, flashy shoes or outfits.
Clothing as a tool: express your character
While a basic wardrobe shows your natural features, carefully chosen outfits can highlight your personality.
Rule: Your clothes should support your story, not overpower it. Bring 2–3 outfit variations to show different sides of yourself.
Pro tip: If you want to get the most from your session, working with a stylist can make a huge difference.
Final thoughts
The main focus of a model test is you. Clothes are just a background to let your personality shine. Be natural, be confident — and don’t be afraid to show who you are.
