Turning up to a shoot or casting prepared is one of the easiest ways to look like a professional. Experienced models keep a ready-to-go kit bag so they are never caught out. Here is what to pack.
Wardrobe essentials
- Nude and black seamless underwear (no visible lines)
- A strapless bra and a nude bra
- Nude and black heels in a classic style
- A simple robe or kimono for between looks
- A plain fitted top and jeans for digitals or fittings
Grooming and touch-ups
- Your own foundation, concealer and powder for quick fixes
- Blotting papers and a small mirror
- Hair ties, clips, bobby pins and a brush
- Clear and nude nail polish
- Deodorant, mints and hand cream
The practical extras
- A refillable water bottle and a healthy snack
- A phone charger or power bank
- Your comp card and a printed set of digitals
- A notebook or notes app for call sheet details
Keep it packed and ready
Restock your bag after every job so it is always ready for a last-minute call. Being organised signals to clients that you take the work seriously – and that is exactly the reputation that gets you re-booked.
