The Importance of a Good Routine

To be at the top of your industry, it is crucial to have a consistent and efficient morning and night time routine. Here are some great steps to follow to maintain organization, hygiene and positivity throughout your day starting with your night time routine:

1) Before bed, it is truly important that you organize yourself for the next day. For example, pack a lunch and let it sit in the fridge overnight. That way, you are not rushing to do this in the morning and your not spending more on food that you already had at home! Also, picking out your outfit and setting it aside for the morning will help you save a lot of time in the morning. Dont forget to pick accessories and shoes people!

2) If you like to sleep in, taking a shower at night would definitely be the best option for you. Wash your face and brush your teeth too!

3) Pack your bag for tomorrow. Make sure you have everything you need for the next days events so that in the morning you can just grab it and go!

4) To keep organized, it may help to write down a list of things to do for the next day. We often tend to think about things that need to get done while we lay in bed trying to fall asleep. By jotting down your thoughts, you wont forget them and youll fall asleep a lot faster!

5) Finally, dont forget to set your alarm! Set it early enough to give you time to really wake up and feel energized before your day begins.

And remember, getting a good 8 hour sleep is recommended for the maintenance of good physical and mental health!

For your morning routine:

1) Wake up early enough to eat breakfast. This is utterly important! Eating a good nutritious breakfast will give you the energy you need to have throughout the day. Have more than just a cup of coffee!

2) Practice good hygiene. This is common sense, especially for those in the modelling/acting industry. Make sure you brush your pearly whites, wash your face thoroughly and shower if you didnt at night. Not only will you look good but you will feel refreshed and radiant too! Which is important for your confidence might I add.

3) This step is optional but highly recommended. Do something active to wake you up in the morning. Whether its yoga, a light jog, jumping jacks or even stretching. This will help you wake up feeling positive-minded throughout your day.

4) Make sure you go over your list from the night before and prioritize it efficiently! Get the important things done and out of the way first. Leave the easy and fun stuff for last… Think of leaving those easy and fun tasks for last as your reward for getting the hard tasks out of the way first. This will be motivating for you to complete your list and prevent procrastination.

5) Start your day by thinking about at least 10 things that you are grateful for, and 10 things that you love about yourself. Waking up to positive thoughts guarantees a happy mind and soul during your day.

Remember, when you have good vibes, other people will notice and will have a great first impression of you. In this industry, first impressions are key for success! So follow these steps and watch your success grow!

MAX Model Insider Tips for a Successful Modeling Career!

Tips for a Successful Modeling Career

 Whether you’ve just started out as a model or you’ve been a model for a while. There are some things you need to know in order to have a long and lucrative career as a model. Models come in all shapes and sizes for a variety of projects. So as long as you are willing to learn and follow some, or all, of these tips you should be able to make it as a model no matter what your shape and size.

Tip#1: Modeling is a Business

As a model you are your own business. Just like with any business it will take time, effort and commitment in order for that business to gro and be lucrative. The same goes for modeling. You need to put in the time to not only go to auditions, but keep yourself in shape, get enough rest and look your best. You want to make a good first impression at all the auditions you go to.

Tip #2: Present Yourself as the Perfect Candidate

You want to make sure you have confidence. Even if in the beginning this means you have to fake it. It’s important to know that you have confidence. But don’t let that get the better of you. Also make sure you have a friendly disposition as well as good manners. The easier you are to work with the more likely you are to get the job. Also remember to be YOU!

Tip #3: Attend as Many Castings as possible.

A casting is a job interview for models (and actors). So the more you go to and can present yourself in a positive way, the more chances you have of landing the job.  Also make sure to show up prepared. Know what it is they are casting for, know what they are looking for as well as what will be expected of you.

Tip #4: Maintain A Healthy Lifestyle

Drink plenty of water ( it will hydrate your skin, as well as give you a healthy glow), get plenty of rest ( to avoid dark circles and heavy makeup), and try and maintain a healthy diet. Eating foods high in sugar, fats and other toxins can cause your skin to not only look dull but break out as well. In the end as a model ensuring you have a healthy natural glow about you will help set you apart, And will help you feel energized as well.

Again remember You are your OWN business. As much as we like to think its about being at the right place at the right time, so much work and effort will go into your career from yourself. So go out there and knock ‘em dead!

“I Woke Up Like This”: 10 Model Beauty Secrets

“I woke up like this,” or at least, I look like it. Here are a few tips and tricks that every model should know to look and feel their best at all times.

1 – Look Less Tired

Open up your tired, late-night eyes the next morning with a touch of gold shadow on the center of your eyelids from lash line to crease. Just a hint of shimmer in the daytime make your eyes shine.

2. De-Frizz Your Tresses

Believe it or not, a pea-sized amount of hand cream can easily de-frizz your unruly locks when you’re caught without your favourite hair products. Smooth a little dab onto your ends and you’re gold.

3. Fake Fuller Lips

Use a lipliner that matches your lip colour. Gently trace just outside your natural lip line with the utmost precision and apply a clear gloss or sheer lipstick on top.

4. Nix Nail Stains

Models get their manis and pedis redone at most shows and this can wreak havoc on precious nails. If dark polish has left it’s mark and can’t be removed easilty with nail polish remover, use the juice of a lemon as an instant brightener. Another very sneaky tip is to always leave a tiny border on the sides of your nails polish-free for a very clean effect.

5. Camouflage Skin Flaws

Do you use only one conclear colour to camouflage your skin? Try two. One lighter and one darker since our skin is not all the same colour all over. Using one for lighter and another for darker areas such as under-eyes will look more natural. This is what the pros do.

6. Detox Your Hair

Beat buildup by adding just a teaspoon of vinegar to your shampoo routine. It’s homemade clarifying shampoo and can be used once per week to give your scalp and hair a fresh clean start.

7. Bronze That Body

One glorious word: “Bronzer.” Whether light or dark-skinned, a little bronzer never hurt no one. A sprinkling on the cheekbones, the décolletage and the cheeks goes a long way. In fact, it will make you look like you came all the way from Ibiza!

8. Mix It Up

Mixing a little moisturizer with your foundation makes you positively glow. No expensive highlighter or extra products to buy. Just mix ‘n go.

9. Simplicity

One of the most important tips that models live by is sheer simplicity. The most beautiful models are not heavily made up. They are confident in their skin, eat well and get enough sleep.

10. Perfect Posture

When taking photos, always pretend you are squeezing an orange in between your shoulder blades to instantly improve slumping shoulders. Or just remember what your Mama taught you. She was right.
