#TipTuesday<\/strong> is a series MAX Agency<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 one of the top Toronto talent agencies  \u2014 does every week where we share helpful tips for the industry. This could be tips on auditions, bookings, beauty, fashion <\/em>and more<\/em>!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Looking your best is important in this industry!  You always should strive to put your best self forward.  <\/p>\n

From the moment you enter the room, you want to present yourself properly and be ready to slip effortlessly into the role youre reading for. Your face is not only your vehicle for expression; its a big part of the reason you get the gig.

Its important to arrive well-groomed and naturally made up. You should look like your headshot, since this is what the casting director is expecting. For men, conceal blemishes and dark circles under the eyes, and use a blot powder or blot papers to eliminate shine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Skin and Shine<\/strong><\/p>\n

Use anti-shine. If youre a little bit dewy when you walk in, youre going to look really shiny. Blot Powder by MAC is really great. Its in a compact and it comes with a little puff, and it doesnt have any pigment. You can dust that over the T-zone, and it will zap any shine, and its not like makeup. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sparkles<\/strong><\/p>\n

For women, the big thing is lightening up. Keeping the skin matte \u2014 using foundations, shadows, and everything that has a more matte finish will just universally be more flattering on camera. They might want to change their makeup a little and avoid things with shimmer. Whats really hot right now are those mineral powders with light reflection, and those are great when youre having lunch with your friends, but thats not going to look great on camera.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hair and Beards <\/strong><\/p>\n

With hair, anything thats going to make the eyes look less expressive \u2014 heavy bangs or anything on the forehead \u2014 you might want to brush that back a little to make it a little cleaner-looking. [For beards,] maybe shave under the jaw line and around the cheeks, just to sort of tailor it a little more.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lips<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dont overgloss lips. If you want to get a little interest in the face and youre doing everything else very matte, you can do a little gloss, but keep it within the lip line and blot it a shade. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Colour Scheme<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stay away from really muddy colors. You want things that look like your skin \u2014 very healthy. Go for things like your natural color but a little more vivid. Same with your cheeks: Use what you would naturally blush. And most women dont blush terra cotta or bronze or anything sort of mauvey. Get things that look juicy and healthy, so that in these lighting situations with a lot of white light, youll still look balanced and healthy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Role Specific Looks<\/strong><\/p>\n

For men, keep it very light. A tinted moisturizer (Laura Mercier makes a great one), very minimal powder, and lip balm is typically all thats needed.

While keeping it natural, I also think its important to consider the role youre auditioning for. If youre going for a younger role, keep the makeup very light and fresh. For a more mature role, you can darken it up a bit. Just as long as you still look like you.<\/p>\n
