There is NO type of modeling or photograph that you HAVE to do (with the simple exception of a headshot) to be a Sparkle model. You do NOT have to model swimwear. You certainly do not have to model lingerie, and you do not have to model anything that is in conflict with your cultural or religious beliefs.

• I am a guy - do I need makeup?
For men it is called grooming. The makeup artist's job is to make you look your best. All people have different skin tones. The makeup artist specializes to even out these tones to make your photographs look their best. They also work with your hair to bring out the best possible style for you and the photo shoot.

• Do kids have makeup on?
Usually not. Kids are supposed to look like kids. Makeup can sometimes make them look older than they are. We start using makeup on girls at age 13 and grooming on boys around 16. But there are always exceptions to every rule.

• What is commercial modeling?
You have seen them thousands of times, in magazines, newspapers, on billboards, posters and even on packages in grocery stores. These commercial models entice you to buy everything from food to shampoo, jeans to health insurance. When most people think of modeling, they only think of fashion models - those tall, thin, glamorous men and women who appear in ads for designer clothes.
Commercial models come in all shapes, sizes and ages. Some commercial models are gorgeous woman/ handsome men, and beautiful children, and many successful commercial models look just like everyday people. The individual who has the greatest chance of being chosen to appear in an ad is the one who can believably look like a mom, doctor, business person, plumber, student, grandparent, teacher, dad, etc. The best part about commercial modeling is that it is not necessary to have that "perfect" look in order to be successful.

• Tips for Commercial Success
Every photo that you have taken must look like an ad. Don’t make the mistake of doing what most people do and just stand in front of a camera and have pretty pictures taken of yourself. Generally those pictures get thrown away by clients. The way to get an client’s attention is by showing them photos that tell a story. Your photos should look like they could be an ad for many products.
The way to accomplish this is to go through magazines that you could really imagine seeing yourself in, and study the ads. Find magazines that you honestly could see yourself in. Don’t be afraid to borrow some ideas from these ads. Being able to show different expressions in believable ways is what grabs an client’s attention.

• What are the advantages to working as a commercial model?
Most people do commercial modeling to supplement their income on a part-time basis. The hours are extremely flexible, and the hourly fees paid to commercial models are wonderful. And, of course, it is a thrill to see yourself or your child in a magazine, newspaper, brochure, or on a poster or billboard.

• What are the disadvantages?
There is no guarantee that there will be steady work. That is why most people work part-time. There are no health benefits, and no money is withheld from your checks for tax purposes. You are responsible for paying taxes on all income.

• Can I still become a model if I am in School/College, Have Spare Time during Vacations and Holidays?
friendlyadvice will always make school a priority. There are two reasons for this:
1) Most aspiring models are of school age and we are accustomed to working around your school schedule, especially teen age and kids modeling. Shoots are normally fixed up on public holidays/ Saturday and Sundays.
2) A model’s career, no matter how successful is extremely short and unpredictable, making it more important to have a solid educational base from which to draw on once the modeling career is over.
