How to Become an Eye Model
When you decide to specialize in eye modeling, you are limiting the jobs for which you want to be considered. Most eye models work for makeup or eyewear companies. Because of this, eye modeling is a very competitive specialty. It may be a considerable amount of time before you have steady work as an eye model.

Take care of your entire face, especially your eyes. Many of the jobs an eye model gets will show her whole face with a focus on her eyes. Because of this, it is essential to make sure your whole face looks nice. Remember to exfoliate your skin and lips before taking any pictures or going to any calls.

Keep your hair in good shape. In most cases, your hair will show in pictures that feature your eyes. Make sure your hair is clean and fixed in all of your photos and when you show up for calls or photo shoots.

Compile a portfolio. You need to have different types of pictures, including full body shots, head shots and shots of your eyes. Keep in mind that companies looking for an eye model will look at the overall picture but, in most cases, most of the focus will be on your eyes. The pictures in your portfolio should show different eye expressions.

Be ready to submit photos of your natural eyes. In some cases, such as when you are auditioning for a job with a makeup company, you may have to send in photos of your eyes without makeup. This is so the company can determine what makeup you need.

Find out the specifics of an assignment before you go to the shoot. In some cases, you will need to apply your own makeup in a certain style before the shoot. Other times, you will need to show up with a bare, clean face so a makeup artist can fix your makeup for the shoot.

Tips & Warnings
Consider using eye redness remover drops before photo shoots.
Think about accepting jobs as a full face model. This may get you noticed faster. Once you are well-known, you can start accepting only eye modeling jobs.

They are NOT an eye modeling agency! They are a high fashion agency. They also do many other things in this field but eye modeling is NOT one of the.
