   • Focus on keeping your skin clear and glowing.
   • Shiny and healthy hair is important.
   • Fitness is important. Consider working with a trainer who works specifically with models. Tell them your modeling goals and how you aspire to look.
2. 2
   Decide what kind of model you hope to be. Technically, anybody can be a model. However, do remember that if you don't meet certain requirements, the work available to you will be incredibly limited, and you may have to compensate in other departments (reliability, technique, etc).
   
   
   • A Plus Size Model: If your body is full and curvaceous, you may be able to be a plus size model.
   • A Runway Model: Most women on the catwalk are at least 5'8, very skinny, and small-breasted. Men are mostly between 5'11 and 6'2.
   • A Print Model: Most editorial female models are at least 5'7, but a beautiful face with great personality are really important for print models.
   • An Underwear Model: For women, this requires large breasts but small hips. For men this requires broad shoulders but slim waists.
   • Other Types of Modeling: If you don't fit any of the face or body descriptions, perhaps you can be a foot, hair or hand model
   • Consider your "look". There is more of a curvy California look, a svelte New York look, a waif-like European look, girl next door, swim suit or lingerie (usually requires the bust to fill out the suits and a very thin waist)... Know what you're equipped with, but also work to pull off other looks.
3. 3
   Educate yourself. There is a lot you can learn from reading books and articles on modeling. Reading quality guides, articles, and books will both help you to improve important skills (like posing) and to better understand how the industry works (how to find an agent, etc.).
   • Realize that it's tough. The modeling world is jam-packed with pretty faces. Just because you are good looking does not mean that you can succeed as a model. In the modeling business, it is not just about looking great. You have to fit the want or need of specific jobs just in order to get a chance. Modeling is only for serious people who carry unique looks and characteristics. Since there are so many people trying to become models in today's world, it will be very challenging to get a breakthrough and will only come through patience and perseverance.
   • Realize a model does not have to be like a supermodel. There are models of all sizes: short, tall, skinny, fat, normal, etc. Don't ever think that you can't become a model; anyone can with a lot of effort!
