Lingerie modeling
Lingerie modeling is not for the faint-hearted. Unlike the more ‘wholesome’ types of modeling, lingerie modeling requires you to bare more skin. Modeling agencies are especially strict with this business. Since it is harder to airbrush lingerie modeling images, agencies need to keep models well-toned and perfectly proportioned.
Lingerie modeling is not as glamorous as it sounds. Fledgling lingerie models do not get work easily, and may get work but be paid lower than industry standards. Lingerie shoots can also take longer than the normal working day – sometimes in far-flung, even dodgy locations.
The ‘beauty’ standards in lingerie modeling vary. Different fashion genres cater to different target audiences and different tastes, so they require varying looks from lingerie models. High-fashion lingerie lines usually look for the leggy, slender woman with a swan neck. They can be more discriminating and demand that you have a square jaw, high cheekbones, and almond eyes. But even if you don’t necessarily fit these ‘compulsory measurements,’ you can still find lingerie modeling work in lower-end lingerie lines. This genre usually prefers the ‘classic,’ more attainable beauty, and you need only to be well-proportioned and fit well into regular lingerie to land a lingerie modeling job. And if you have the bonuses of a clear and evenly-toned skin plus a perfect smile, you have a better chance of snatching a lingerie modeling contract.
If you are seious in wanting to become a lingerie model, commit to making yourself look better. Invest in your health, which is your foundation not only for long-lasting beauty, but also for the stamina that lingerie modeling requires. If you’re still under the impression that lingerie modeling is all fun and no work, think again. Lingering modeling, like any other job, requires professionalism, discipline and commitment. The best lingerie models – or at least those who last – are serious and determined to do better in their craft.
So if you are thnking about making a career out of lingerie modeling, prepare yourself for hardwork, some disappointment, and some serious determination. Lingerie modeling can be fun and lucrative – but only if you do it right.
