How to find out if you have a model appearance. Model types

For a wedding

A chiselled chin and sunken high cheekbones make the face more beautiful, but visually older. Another thing is the characteristic features of a babyface - apple cheeks, smooth skin, big eyes and mouth-watering, voluminous lips. According to plastic surgeons, it will not be possible to deceive genetics, but it is quite possible to get closer to an eternally youthful child’s face. To look 25 at 40, and at 25 to 15, girls use the achievements of aesthetic medicine and cosmetology. She followed this path: the famous representative of the Kardashian family enlarged her lips with fillers, corrected her cheekbones and corrected her nose. But many stars are lucky by nature, and their children's faces look very good on the screen.

Gigi Hadid

Bright blush, clear, wide eyes, plump lips make 22-year-old Gigi Hadid visually much younger than her 20-year-old sister.

According to glossy magazines, it is the famous supermodel and Victoria's Secret angel who is the trendsetter of the babyface trend.

Reese Witherspoon

Fans of Reese Witherspoon believe that the 41-year-old actress knows the recipe for the elixir of youth.

However, the secret of the Hollywood blonde is a special facial structure, in which the signs of aging are not noticeable for a long time. True, experts believe that Reese Witherspoon owes her eternal youth not only to her “baby” type, but also to the skillful hands of cosmetologists.

Miranda Kerr

Her naive look and cute dimples made Miranda Kerr incredibly popular in the fashion industry.

Photographers and designers love the 34-year-old model because her appearance has remained unchanged for ten years.

It is likely that thanks to her “baby” type, Miranda will firmly occupy a high position in the ranking of ageless celebrities.

Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence is often criticized for her chubby cheeks, but she openly states that being attractive does not mean being skinny.

Jennifer avoids makeup in everyday life, and this naturalness only emphasizes her “childish” face.

Selena Gomez

The popular singer has repeatedly said that she hates her chubby cheeks.

However, it is they, coupled with the innocent expression of the eyes and a touching smile, that make you look much younger than your peers. By the way, British plastic surgeons consider Selena’s appearance to be the standard of beauty.

Emilia Clarke

It's hard to believe that the actress playing Daenerys Targaryen is 31 years old, because she still has the same childhood swelling on her face.

The actress remembers the ban on clear lines for a baby face and uses only natural makeup, which emphasizes the charm given by nature.

Priorities in the world of beauty are changing very quickly: yesterday everyone admired girls with androgynous appearance, today - the owners of a baby face, full of health. Plastic surgery and cosmetology adapts to any trends, but still emphasizes individuality.

Canons, rules, division of markets. Somehow intimidating, isn't it? But what does this mean? In this article I want to tell you about model types and the differences between them.

Some models, while in European cities, sit without work, but at the same time, when they fly to Asia, they earn good money. Most likely, the point here is precisely in the type that each model should know for herself. Don’t indulge yourself with illusions again. Earn money and experience, and you can see Paris, and even “die” there, at any free time, and with all the amenities.

In China, cute faces with porcelain skin are accepted. In Japan - children's ones are round. In Turkey they want 93 cm hips. Still, the modeling business remains a business, there is no escape from supply and demand.

Strong face

Wild look, sharp cheekbones and very expressive facial features, long legs and enviable thinness. According to many, he is the “coolest” type. Beginning models, and not only those, strive to look like this, sucking in their cheeks until bruises appear, and even manage to do this on snaps. It looks ridiculous. Girls, owners of this type do not need to cast wild glances and somehow deform their faces, this is how Mother Nature created them.

Baby-face

I have heard many times that this is now the most popular face type in modeling. As a rule, large expressive eyes, a neat nose, small, pouting lips, a round face. They're like dolls. Looking 15-16 years old, even if you are already in your twenties, is a common thing for them.

Strange look

The pursuit of this type of face never stops. If you hear from your friends: “Which model are you? Your face is strange!” - quickly run to the agency. Scouts are trying to snatch a model with this type. These girls may be ugly, and may not have strict facial features, and, at first glance, may not be commercially in demand. But there is something exciting about them. I’ll give examples and you’ll immediately understand what I’m talking about.

Commercial face

The very word “commerce” speaks for itself. This is advertising and making money. Such faces are considered beautiful according to the laws of society, both in modeling and in life. You can hear this version from those who didn’t eat enough carrots and didn’t exercise as children, in short, they didn’t grow up: “Well, there are models and fashion models, the latter are owners of commercial entities.” They are mistaken; there is no such division. It’s just that this particular type has an ideal, precise face that radiates feminine beauty and charm. They are the ones you see in advertisements for perfumes, cosmetics and various brands. They attract attention, which means they sell the product they advertise well.

Look carefully at yourself in the mirror, evaluate your chances, determine your type and the country in which you can really make money. Better yet, my advice to you, is to find yourself a good maternal agency that will do everything much more professionally. How I did it when I got into The Personal Model Management. I always thought that I had a baby-face, but here it turns out – commerce with a touch of classics. Yes, and it happens, we are all so different and unique. We can combine many types, which allows us to work in many markets and in many countries.

P.S. I wanted to apologize. For what? I think many, based on my promise in the previous article, expected the topic of cooperation between Asia and the Big Four countries. But don’t be upset, we will definitely consider all the nuances of this issue.

Many beautiful girls dream of becoming models, but not everyone succeeds. Because beauty is not the most important thing for a model; often it is not needed at all. But the girl’s model appearance constantly attracts and attracts many men. So what does a girl need to become a model?

Parameters and standards for model appearance

Yes, a girl’s model appearance and the parameters of a woman’s figure must meet specific requirements. For a model walking along the catwalk, very specific parameters are needed - tall height, at least 170 centimeters, long, even and slender legs, a certain thinness, even sometimes “dryness”. But the most important thing for a girl with model appearance is the ability to present all her “parameters” from a certain perspective.

Photo models have slightly different parameters: height does not matter as much as on the catwalk, the main thing is the expressiveness of the face. Mandatory parameters for all models are long, thick and well-groomed hair and natural, beautiful eyebrows.

For catwalk models who show lingerie, the parameters are also slightly different. Height must correspond to the podium, that is, be no lower than 170 centimeters, but there is no question of thinness here. On the contrary, fairly “prominent” shapes of the breasts and hips are welcomed to demonstrate underwear.

There is a clear connection here with the standard phrase “demand determines supply”! It is this very demand that determines the parameters of a girl’s model appearance.

One of the main qualities of a girl’s model appearance

But there is one main quality for any model, both on the catwalk and at photo shoots - a face like a “blank sheet of paper”. This means a face on which you can “draw” anything you want. These are clearly defined cheekbones, a high forehead and clear facial skin. During any shooting, every flaw on the girl’s face will be clearly visible! Every model should also have perfect teeth.

Nowadays, many people work on each model before a show or shooting - stylists, makeup artists, cosmetologists. But the material they have to work on must necessarily meet the "blank slate" standard.

Often, models become unattractive at first glance girls who, at first glance, do not evoke delight and admiration. But after the work of the same stylist, they become simply beauties, and each time different - today Cleopatra, tomorrow Marilyn Monroe. This is the most important thing in a girl’s model appearance – to become the canvas on which you can paint any image.

Another main quality of a girl’s model appearance is her own “zest” that distinguishes her from others! And this is a mandatory quality, otherwise it is impossible to win a place under the “model sun”. Moreover, this zest does not have to be innate; it can also be “acquired,” that is, developed in oneself.

For example, a feature of head tilt, neck bend or shoulder turn. But without such a “zest” you will never become a real model.

Character for a girl with a model appearance often becomes the determining factor.
Probably everyone has heard about the “bitchiness” of models. But the point is not this very “bitchiness”, it’s about such character traits as assertiveness, the desire to achieve one’s goal and self-control. The work of models is very difficult!

Many people think that there is no difficulty here - they walked on the catwalk or “exposed themselves” in front of the camera, that’s all the work, what’s so difficult about it. But the whole point is that you need to prepare yourself to work as a model from childhood, and prepare yourself quite harshly. And it’s not even a matter of the notorious competition and “survival” among one’s own kind, it’s a matter of constant total control over oneself.

This control often simply exhausts all strength, destroys the nervous system, and you need to be prepared for this. Constant dieting to stay in shape, training, rehearsals, sleeping at a certain time, the inability to live your own life, a ban on many pleasures available to other girls of the same age - all this is very difficult.

Even more difficult for such girls is the contrast between this rigidity and pliability for those for whom they “work.” You need to be an “iron lady” inside and “soft wax” in the hands of a stylist or photographer, carry out not only all their commands, but sometimes literally change gears on the fly.

Moreover, this “perestroika” should be almost instantaneous, and try to express your dissatisfaction here - your career is over. And when you are tired after many hours of work, it becomes difficult to contain this very dissatisfaction.

The modeling business is very cruel, and everyone knows it. The life of the model is short, but what next? Poor health, frayed nerves, a lot of illnesses - this is the least that a girl of model appearance can expect. But if you have a great desire and a lot of enthusiasm, then why not try yourself in this matter?!

You just need to clearly know what is needed for this and what you have to deal with. Girls are not born models, they become models! - this is a terrible force. And everyone who has the parameters of a model appearance can still become a model, you just need to carefully and constantly work on yourself!

The trend for contouring, and with it chiseled facial features and high, prominent cheekbones, is gradually losing relevance. Whatever one may say, girls with the “baby face” type - that is, with cute childish faces - are much more lucky in life. They have large expressive eyes, plump lips (and we’re not talking about “dumplings” pumped full of fillers), a neat nose, a small chin and round cheeks touched with a gentle blush. In their 30s and even 40s, owners of “doll” faces continue to look like teenagers. A classic example is Natalia Vodianova, looking at her photographs, you will never guess how old she really is. We asked the chief physician of the Beauty Doctor plastic surgery clinic, Alexander Dudnik, to explain why girls with so-called “baby faces” a priori win in the fight for long-lasting youth.

Representatives of the fashion industry are sure: a chiseled chin and sunken cheekbones, which make girls look visually older, are no longer relevant. Remember Reese Witherspoon, Natalia Vodianova or Miranda Kerr - all these celebrities are bright representatives of the baby-face type, whose age you are unlikely to guess on the first try. But how do they manage to look so much younger than their peers? Experts assure: for those with “childish” faces, aging occurs according to a special scenario. Chief physician of the Beauty Doctor plastic surgery clinic Alexander Dudnik The site revealed all the secrets of representatives of this lucky type in all respects.

“The fact is that children’s, chubby faces have quite pronounced Bisha lumps (which many are now trying to remove) and a thick layer of subcutaneous fat. On a young face, the volume is evenly distributed, which creates an attractive appearance. Therefore, the longer a person maintains a good layer of fatty tissue, the longer the face will remain young. A girl with apple cheeks will always look younger. The same goes for lips: if you have naturally thin lips, you will most likely appear older than you actually are,” explains the expert.

According to Alexander Dudnik, preserving fatty tissue and a sufficient amount of hyaluronic acid is the key to youth. “If you torture yourself with diets or fitness, oxygen “melts” the subcutaneous fat layer and your face ages much faster. This is why biorevitalization is so useful. If the tissue becomes dry, then creases and wrinkles form on the face. And hyaluronic acid, in turn, when introduced into the body, acts as a natural moisturizer and attracts water,” the doctor added.

Those with a baby-face and a nose are lucky. Specialists from the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons have conducted a number of studies proving that it actually changes over the years. As the skin thins and loses elasticity, the tip may droop and widen. However, if the nose itself is miniature, then it is not afraid of serious age-related changes and sagging.



If you haven’t learned how to do hard contouring like Kim Kardashian, don’t be sad, soon it won’t be in soda. According to the editors of Vogue.com, a chiseled chin and sunken cheekbones, which make girls look visually older, are about to become irrelevant. Representatives of a reputable online portal believe that “babyface” or, if translated literally, “baby face” is coming back into fashion again. And I must admit, this is a wonderful trend.


What is a baby face?

For those who come across the term “baby face” for the first time, we consider it necessary to explain that this is how they describe a type of face that resembles a child’s. That is, soft facial features, large eyes (a naive look or its illusion), plump lips (not to be confused with lips pumped with fillers), plump cheeks and the like. Such faces can be safely called cute, and they are the ones who are coming back into fashion. In addition, as proof of the demand for baby faces, below are some stellar examples of such faces.

Popular model Gigi Hadid is one of the star owners of a baby face. “Kim Kardashian has sparked a boom in contouring and harsh, rugged features, while babyface Hadid looks fresh, new and expressive,” says a vogue.com writer.

How to create a baby face?

Avoid contouring first, or at least avoid creating the illusion of deep shadows on your face. In makeup, use the most voluminous and lengthening mascara to achieve the effect of doll eyelashes. Use pearly pink shades on your lips, just like on your cheeks - the blush should be delicate, fresh and may contain a small amount of shimmer.

Please note that creating a baby face does not end with makeup. And the most important component of this upcoming trend is smooth, delicate skin, which can only be achieved with careful care. In addition to peeling, moisturizing, nutrition and other steps of skin care, don’t forget about vitamins.
