Eyebrows
 |
| Jeff Brand |
Joey Healy, 27, of the New York-based Browlab, agrees. Healy—who works with Ford's roster of male models including Andre Ziehe, Josh Button, and Miguel Iglesias, among others—says that an increasing number of agencies are contacting him every season for that brow job.
Healy says that a good brow job can make a jaw line more square. If brows are straighter across, they will make a more angular face, creating a more tough and square cheekbones.
But Healy warns of extreme tweezing, noting that there's a fine line between plucking and overdoing it. "I find a lot of male models try to do DIY stuff. They get a trimmer or electric trimmer and it's such a bad idea!"
"Eyebrows are serious," he continues. "I've seen some guys lose jobs over a bad brow job."
Ultimately, Healy says, eyebrows are unassuming and are a male models' silent weapon:
"It's achieving beauty in a quiet, understated way. Brows are something people rarely think about, but a good one will separate an amateur from a top model."Source: http://www.elle.com/news/beauty-makeup/mens-eyebrow-maintenance

Life for "Real Models"
Models are commodities...that means you are basically told what to do, when to do it and how to do it. Have problems with authority or don't like following rules? Then sadly, male modeling is not for you. Being in this industry is all about working with different types of people, from your agent/booker and other models to the client, photographer, wardrobe stylist and other crew members. You'll have to take direction, criticism and everything in between.

requirements
The fashion industry is rather fussy about who will represent its product. As such, your body must fit into industry-imposed standards.
As opposed to the women, male models usually start out between the ages of 18 and 25. Nobody's looking for a baby face because male buyers are usually older than females. Also, unlike most women, you'll be able to get work well into your 30s.
The average height for male models is between 5'11" and 6'2". As per your weight, it must be within the range of 140 to 165 pounds. The industry isn't looking for bulging muscles, but you definitely have to be fit.
If you have a lot of acne or acne scars, think about another career. You also need to be confident, responsible and organized to handle the pressure of being periodically rejected and working on a tight schedule. You must also be willing to relocate and travel to foreign cities.

The stories you hear about models are always the ones that resemble a fairy tale. This guy was waiting in line to see a movie when a talent scout spotted him and signed him up to his agency. Unfortunately, this is the exception.
The way models get work is through an agent who gets a 10% to 33% cut. Some models can freelance, but that's not how they'll land the major gigs.
An agent will get you bookings, as well as advise you on how your career should develop. Here are the most common ways to get signed with an agency.
