EyeLash Tips and Tricks

In honour of National Lash Day on February 19th, here are some eyelash tips and tricks to remember when getting ready!

Mix colours for a natural look

Use two different shades of mascara to create a more natural look since most eyelashes naturally have a gradient to start with.

Heat your curler for longer lasting curl

Heat your curler with a hair dryer or soak it in hot water for a few seconds. 

Curl eyelashes before applying mascara

Never curl your eyelashes after applying mascara as it will cause breakage to your lashes.

Add makeup remover to dry mascara

Adding a few drops of an alcohol based makeup remover will bring your dry mascara back to life.

Reuse fake eyelashes

User mascara as an eyeliner

Swipe your eyeliner brush over your mascara wand to pick up the product and use it as eyeliner.

Apply mascara before false lashes

Having mascara applied before allows you to push and squeeze your real lashes with the fake ones so they sit well together and it looks more natural.

Acting Tips, Insider tips

Tip Tuesday: Why Social Media is Important for Actors/Models

“Social media is so important,” says Backstage Expert and casting director Benton Whitley. “When an actor comes across my plate, and I’ve never heard of them, the first thing I do is Google them, for sure.”

#TipTuesday is a series MAX Agency — one of the top Toronto talent agencies  — does every week where we share helpful tips for the industry. This could be tips on auditions, bookings, beauty, fashion and more!

This weeks tips surround the topic of Social Media for actors and models. Here is why and how talent should take advantage of social media and use it to their advantage:

To follow industry related news

As an aspiring actor and/or model, you should be following other successful professionals in the industry to find inspiration and see how these people are finding success. You should be aware of any movements that are happening (ex. #MeToo) and which films/television shows are the most successful. The easiest and quickest way to see this information is online. You do not want to be out of the loop on anything.

To connect with peers and professionals in industry

A lot of networking happens online now and social media makes it so easy. Follow your peers, comment on posts, share posts from people you find interesting. Make yourself visible to others online. This may lead to an important contact such as a casting director noticing you or simply growing your following.

Its an extension of your portfolio

Sometimes an actor or models portfolios or demos simply cannot showcase all of your talents. Utilize your social media channels by uploading additional photos or videos that showcase your talent. Promote yourself and brand yourself whenever possible. If a casting director looks you up, they will see more of your work and hopefully be impressed.

Building a following and gaining influence

By creating content that others want to see, you will gain a following and begin having influence over that following. This is how “social media influencers” make their living. Casting agents like to work with people with large followings because that means you will be able to promote the film/show/etc. to your followers. This business is all about numbers, and if you have them you are potentially one step closer to landing the role!
