General Advice

1. Tips for Aspiring Models

When attending casting calls, it’s essential to present yourself well. Choose outfits that flatter your figure and always wear heels to enhance your posture and appearance. Opt for light, natural-looking makeup and keep your nails neat with subtle nail polish.
Skincare is also vital. Try to use as few products as possible—particularly those with harsh chemicals or alcohols—as these can lead to premature aging over time.
Modeling can be a highly rewarding career if you’re committed, driven, and maintain your appearance. However, it’s important to remember that the industry is often short-lived. Make sure to have a backup career plan and continue your education until you’re confident modeling is the right full-time path for you.
A healthy diet and regular exercise are crucial, as your body is essentially your professional tool. Taking care of it not only boosts your physical health but also improves your chances of landing work. Developing a positive relationship with your body is key to long-term success in this field.
To reach top model status, you need a disciplined fitness routine and a focus on healthy eating. This doesn’t mean extreme dieting—just nourishing your body to achieve a naturally healthy and confident look.

2. How to Avoid Model Scams

Be cautious if you’re contacted online by someone claiming to be from a modeling agency. Reputable agencies and services, like UK Models, will only reach out if you’ve contacted them first through official channels—such as our website, app, or verified Facebook page.
Never engage with anyone sending messages of a sexual or explicit nature. Report or block them immediately.
For anyone under 18, a legitimate agency or modeling service will always require parental or guardian permission before offering any modeling opportunities. Anyone attempting to bypass this requirement is not trustworthy and may be operating dangerously.
UK Models will never send friend requests or request Skype calls with model scouts. This applies across the board to all legitimate companies in the industry. If you receive such messages, we strongly advise ignoring them.
It’s important to note that UK Models is a model support service, not a model agency. We don’t scout for talent or sign models to agency rosters. We operate strictly under the name UK Models.
Our official website is www.ukmodels.co.uk, and calls from our New Faces Consultants will always come from numbers beginning with 020 3959 3XXX. Any calls from other numbers are not affiliated with us.
