Sandra Omo decides there’s more to make-up than meets the eyeliner
After my last casting ordeal where every model was made to take off their make-up and audition without any, the ‘no make-up’ casting call seems to be everywhere I turn. Prior to now I have not really noticed them, but since my last audition, one in every two or three casting calls I come across reads: “Please come with little or no make-up.”
In addition, I am beginning to wonder how difficult it must be for models that are not used to moving around without make-up. It is not that we would not look good without makeup, it is just that we are no longer used to being without it.
I was talking to an older woman who is not, and has never been, a model about this and she said something that I agree with one hundred per cent. She has worn make-up since she was 15 and now that she is in her forties, it is not a question of whether she would look good with or without make-up, but whether she would feel like herself without it.
