The Winter Sales with Models Direct

Tips for the Winter Sales from Models Direct

Before you leave the house to hit the sales, you should know exactly what you’re looking for and how much you can spend. First of all, figure out how much you’d be happy to spend, and then decide how much you can really take with you. Having a strict budget will stop you from overspending. If you’re the type of person who puts things on credit card habitually and sometimes loses track, take cash with you and leave the cards at home!

To be able to identify the real bargains you’ll need a reference point in terms of prices. We have all seen shops with constant ‘sales’ on, but the items were never, and will never be, the full marked price. Retailers use this tactic to make things seem like even better value so don’t be fooled into making impulse buys before checking prices online.

You can use your phone to search the bar-code or the brand and style online. Doing this means you won’t be duped into thinking you have a real bargain and then going home to see the same item on the net for less! If you’re on the hunt for a new look for a photo shoot, perhaps with an eye to get into fashion modelling, agencies like Models Direct can often give guidance. It’s too easy to get bogged down trying to compare prices between stores and online, so if it starts getting stressful just remember your spending rules and remember what you needed to buy. If you stick to the rules, you won’t find yourself unloading bag after bag in the lounge and wondering what on earth you were thinking! The returns queues are at their longest after sales because too many women fall into this trap. Also remember that you often can’t get a cash refund for discounted items and might end up with a lot of store credit that you don’t really want.

Models Direct Foot Care Tips

Foot Care Tips from Models Direct

Summer may be on its last legs and our sandals may be going into their annual hibernation, but Models Direct know that’s no reason not to keep your feet looking and feeling great. Professionals in the female modelling business are always looking for well-groomed talent so don’t let your feet let you down. Our feet have a quarter of the blood vessels in our bodies. They are one of the most sensitive areas and are easily forgotten about during daily care. Here are a few steps on how to give yourself the best pedicure.

Models Direct

Firstly trim and shape your nails. Remove your old nail polish with a nail polish remover and trim your nails neatly. Make sure you cut straight across and don't cut the corners too much, as this can lead to painful ingrown nails. Use a nail file to give them the desired shape. 

Run a little foot bath in a basin or tub. Fill warm water enough to cover up to your ankles and add some bath salts. You can add a few drops of any essential oil of your choice. Give your feet a nice bathe. Also add a few smooth pebbles to the water. These will provide a gentle massage as you place your feet on them. Soak your feet and relax. 

You're almost ready for your next modelling casting. Now you have to exfoliate. Rub some cuticle cream on the base of each toe nail. Leave it for a few minutes. In the meanwhile, use a foot scrub or exfoliating stone and remove all the dry and dead skin cells. Be firm but do not scrape too hard. Next, wipe off the cuticle cream and push back the cuticles gently with a cuticle pusher.

Models Direct Male Modelling Beauty Advice

Models Direct Male Modelling Beauty Advice

Models Direct help aspiring male models break into the industry. Here are some tips that you, to succeed in male modelling, should bear in mind.

Models Direct

Modelling is a profession where presentation is extremely important because it caters to the visual aspect. Therefore, grooming is an extremely important factor. They say that the cameras do not lie and hence your overall appearance matters a lot. 

Hair is an important feature that draws immediate attention. The hair style should be neat whether your hair is short or long. Keeping your hair clean is your duty. If you have long hair, then clean it in sections, whereas short hair is easy to clean. Remember you cannot afford to have dandruff on your scalp and hairs.

Face is another vital factor. If you have a good facial structure, you are blessed. Even if you do not have that, it is important to keep your skin glowing. This is one of the most important male model tips for grooming. Stay away from strong astringents and clean your face often which will remove the dirt. However, use products that suit your skin type.

Feedback for Modelling Job (Coco Blu - £80):


Theo was chosen to do his second clothes fittings with Old Brown/Coco Blu.  We arrived and were greeted by the same friendly faces who immediately made Theo feel comfortable and at ease. They took attention to detail such as making sure the heating was right and they engaged with Theo on his level. The experience was quick and very welcoming just like his first clothes fittings session. Theo has now had 3 jobs with Talent Management, who have kept me well informed and put him forward for the roles which were very suitable to his character and talent. Theo was provided with a boys magazine which catered to him to keep him entertained and engaged.

I would surely recommend other parents consider modelling for their children through Talent Management as it has helped Theo grow in confidence, especially at his age where he is growing into a boy rather than a toddler.  Talent Management have kept me as a parent up to date and I am so very proud to have Theo as a model with the agency.  We look forward to more adventures with Talent Management!

Hi all,

Feedback for Facebook and Google Places (Feel Agency for Inspired Homes - £200):

I modelled for Inspired Homes for the day.  The location was a very beautiful house in North London, and the shoot involved six of us having various photos taken in different rooms of the home.

I wasn't nervous as this was my 4th modelling assignment with Talent Management, so I feel as though I'm getting a little more confident and comfortable after each job, and gaining more experience is helping me a lot.

Photos were taken of myself and a female model, acting as though we were a couple enjoying our new home.  This was new for me but I adapted fairly quickly. The other models and crew members were very friendly and easy to get along with, which helps towards being relaxed for the shoot.

I enjoy modelling a lot and the variety that comes with it, it is always a little different to what you've done before which makes it that much more exciting to do.

Joining Talent Management has been an enjoyable experience and one of the best decisions I have ever made. It is a great organisation and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in modelling.
