The Makeover - New Look, New Personality?

There can be many reasons for wanting to change your current look. Boredom, curiosity, and personal circumstances are among the most common reasons for wanting a makeover. The resulting change in style can have a dramatic effect. However, in the modelling and acting business, it is important that you carefully consider the consequences of a new look.

What does a makeover involve?

The measures involved in changing your appearance depend on the desired effect. Variations in hair length, hair colour, haircut and hair styling are classics. But make-up , clothing, piercings or tattoos can also surprisingly change the way you come across. In the case of a male model or actor , something as small as trimming beard hair plays a decisive role in the external effect of the person.

To what extent does a makeover change your style?

The services of fashion consultants, piercing and tattoo studios or hair and make-up artists don't just influence your visual appearance. Due certain stereotypes of styles, the people around you could perceive you very differently after a makeover. They associate certain personality traits with your new hairstyle, attribute a particular attitude to your current make-up look or interpret the new body jewellery in accordance with their own preconceived ideas.

What side effects can a change of style have?

It's not just family members, friends and colleagues who react to your new look. Casting agency employees are also influenced by the makeover. If you work as a model or actor, you should think about this step particularly carefully - because you may be putting a good job at risk by changing your look. On the other hand, the makeover may open up new areas of work.

Obligations and restrictions in the event of a style change

You must report your new look to the agency immediately so that your sedcard , model book or website can be updated at short notice. Only with up-to-date photos can potential clients get the right picture of you and offer you suitable jobs. If the casting for a production has already taken place, you must not undergo any restyling until the project has been completed. After all, the scouts have deliberately chosen you and an unexpected change of style could cause problems. Violating this requirement will make you look extremely unprofessional as a model or actor.
