Supposedly the best job a model can get has nothing to do with height

Hey Girls,

This post on Nymag.com caught my eye. It's about the best jobs a model can get. The answer: Beauty ads, cosmetic campaigns. Supposedly the best job a model can get has nothing to do with height.

Although this is based on fashion models, who says you have to be tall to model cosmetics or health and beauty products?

So get your beauty shots and close-ups, less makeup is better for these types of shots, include a clean beauty shot on your comp card, height isn't everything but market what you've got.

Read the article which includes quotes from Director's at fashion agencies and models on the best jobs a model can get here:

So you don't have the height, well focus on what you do have. And your skin and facial features can be great assets in modeling. Think about how many ads and editorials for products of all types involve beauty, health and skincare and haircare. Not just high end beauty products but also lifestyle product ads you see for products for consumers of all types and budgets.
