The No Makeup Makeup Tutorial
Makeup Artist, Diane Catorc, Shows Us How To Create The Perfect "No Makeup Makeup" Look.
Sought-after hair and makeup artist, Diane Catorc, has been in the business for twenty years. Naturally, she has picked up numerous tips along the way. We asked her how she creates the “no makeup makeup” look – which is a model’s go-to for castings and digitals. Check out the tutorial video above to watch Diane give step-by-step instructions while demonstrating on model, Julia Locatelli. We’ve been practicing it ever since, and now all of us at FMD are sporting our effortless glows!
Summer Beauty Trends 2018
Everything we need to know about summer beauty 2018.

Every summer we love to look more beautiful, with a glowing and hydrated face and body. Golden and bronze shades, earthy tones and exotic scents are the musts of every summer. But, what about this summer’s beauty trends?
For this summer’s makeup, you must be brave and get lost in the magic and mystery of makeup art. Colors are bright, exotic with an ultra-touch texture. The unicorn trend is still going strong, with a wide range of holographic makeup products. Loud and waterproof eyeliners promise to give a bold and bright look, even at the beach.

THE NATURAL GLOW
But, let’s not forget that the nude look is always in favor during the summertime – much like florals are for a spring wardrobe. Eyeshadows and lipsticks in such hues can offer a healthy, natural-looking bronzed glow for every skin tone. While talking about that glow, many beauty brands have created key face and body products this summer. Offering an iridescent, warm, eye-catching glow with hues of bronze, gold and rose gold, when applied to the skin.
Summertime prefers more sheer, and transparent scents. Colognes are back with a fresher spritz-weight for a lighter aroma and a longer lasting eau de parfum strength. Citrus based notes are a gentler and more elegant approach.
SUN PROTECTION
Of course, we should never forget to wear our sunscreen protection. Face and body sunscreen is always the big summer trend we should never neglect since it keeps us healthy and looking beautiful under the bright summer sun.
What You Should Have In Your Model Bag
Whether you are a model running between castings and jobs every day, or you're just doing it on an occasional basis; have a designated model bag with the following essentials. You will be prepared for any modeling situation, and don't think the clients won't notice! Remember to also bring it with you when you go to your agency. This is in case you need to do some digis or meet a client last minute.
WHAT MODELS SHOULD HAVE IN THEIR BAG.
PORTFOLIO - Yes, this may be obvious, but you would be surprised by how many models forget their books!
UNDERWEAR- Women should have a matching set of seamless underwear. Including a strapless bra and thong. You can throw in a more 'pretty' or 'sexy' set for any lingerie style castings. Men should have fitted boxer-briefs, briefs, and a tank top as an undershirt. All items should be a solid color, in nude, white, black and grey.
PEN & PAPER - Apart from general note taking, you may need to write down last minute important information, if you, the client, or the agent does not have access to text or email.
COSMETICS- These include makeup remover, face and body moisturizer, and SPF. This is so you can remove makeup whenever needed, and keep your skin looking hydrated and healthy throughout the day.
CHICKEN CUTLETS - Female models should have underwear accessories such as bra fillers 'chicken cutlets', pasties and bra straps. This is so the clothes can fall properly and avoid any bra peekaboo!
HOSIERY & DRESS SOCKS - Women should have nude and black hose. Men should carry brown and black dress socks. Clients do not always provide these items but need them to complete a look.
SWIMWEAR - Female models, in particular, should always have a bathing suit with them. Some clients might prefer that you wear this while measuring you or shooting digitals, rather than being in your underwear. And, it should always be a two-piece. Guys do not use bathing shorts as much, but it's good to keep in the bag just in case. Similarly to underwear, your bathing suit should be well fitted, a dark solid color, and in good condition.
ELECTRIC SHAVER - Especially for guys who are prone to the 5 o'clock shadow. If a client wants you looking the same way at 4 pm as you did at 9 am, you will need to give your face a once over. This will maintain consistency during the shoot, and you can do this right on the spot without cutting yourself. Also, there could be occasions when you are asked to arrive with a few days growth of facial hair, but then the client decides they want you clean shaven.
HAIRBRUSH & HAIR ACCESSORIES - Always carry a hairbrush and hairspray, gel, or whatever product you prefer, to keep your hair looking groomed throughout the day. If you have long hair, you should also have hair ties and kirby grips to pull it back.
FACE & BODY WIPES - Aside from cleaning your hands while on a lunch break during a location shoot, they are also great for wiping off makeup both on your face and body. Additionally, they work wonders for your underarms, when you can't apply deodorant due to wearing your client's clothes.
LINT ROLLER - You'd be amazed by how many models walk around with lint all over their black clothes.
MAKEUP & MAKEUP BRUSHES - This is for any touchups needed while on a booking without a makeup artist on set. However, if there is a makeup artist, this will come in handy should you be allergic to the products. Lastly, you will be able to apply or readjust makeup in between castings and bookings.
MANICURE KIT & CLEAR NAIL POLISH - You never know when you might break a nail! For all bookings, models are required to have neat and tidy nails. Sometimes the client might request that your nails be a certain length or shape. Unless you are expected to have an elaborate mani, it is unlikely that there will be a manicurist on set, so be prepared to do it yourself. Also, clear nail polish works great when applied on to snags in hosiery, to prevent them from running and getting larger.
TRAVEL SEWING KIT - For any wardrobe malfunctions during castings and bookings.
SHOES - Although you will most likely have a whole other bag full of shoes to take with you to bookings, you should also throw a pair or two into your model bag, suitable for last minute castings or digis.
WATER & SNACKS- For when you don't have time to pick up food in between castings and bookings, or if the catering is not your cup of tea. It's important to keep your energy and sugar levels well regulated.
PHONE & WALLET - Just DON'T leave home without them! And, remember to charge your phone.
MAP OR PRINTED DIRECTIONS - In case your phone gets flat and you can't charge it, or you have bad reception, it's always good to have a backup for locating where your bookings and appointments are.
Multi-Tasking Makeup: For when you need to apply on the fly!
Do you find yourself frantically slapping on makeup in the car, train, bus or whatever mode of transport that won’t get you to your appointment fast enough? Do you end up with makeup smudged all over your face and clothes, rather than it being beautifully applied to all the right places? Fear not of the panda eyes or slapdash army look anymore. We’ve got some fantastic products to show you that, aside from looking stunning on your face, are multi-tasking, portable, and easily applied without the mess.
