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, without styling. A touch of effortless look is better than a perfect hairstyle.
Makeup: delicate nude (“no-makeup” makeup). Focus on brows and lashes, moisturized lips.
A light foundation (fluid) can be used to even out the skin tone, especially if there are blemishes or redness. The key is for the skin to look fresh, hydrated, and natural — not overloaded.
Important: a few days before the shoot, exfoliate your lips and keep them well moisturized.
Key: the feeling of your own skin, not a thick mask.
Manicure: basic, neat, neutral, without long artificial nails. Avoid bright colors and decorations.
Avoid: heavy makeup, complicated hairstyles, and long artificial 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.
