Hi all I'm a uk based agency signed model
Iv got a casting coming up for bridal but it's my first with the agency and I want to make a great impression.
Any advice on what to expect? Best clothes to wear (they have advised us on underwear) and for make up would you recommend very little make up?
Hair up or down?
Hope you don't mind me asking my own thoughts were :
Hair down with a bobble on wrist to pop it up if need be
Minimal make up purely concealer mascara and a little bronzer
Black leggings heels and a vest top with a loose jumper over the top
Does this sound ok?

Thank you in advance for any help

I usually wear the most simple attire possible for castings.

Foundation, mascara and lip gloss is enough makeup.

Leggings, heels and a form fitting tank in a plain color (ie black) is perfect.

Sometimes the casting director specifies you to wear a certain type of clothing such as (in my experience) a black cocktail type dress.

If clothing is not specified, leggings/plain top will work.

You could wear your hair in a low ponytail so your face is seen as well as your hair length.

1) A few other models hoping to land the part,
2) A possible sign-in sheet,
3) A few interviewers at a table is common...
4) Yummy refreshments is a possibility

I've never been to a casting for bridal, so i'm not sure how yours may be.

Many models never stop to consider the matters you raise, so are already ahead of a portion of the competition.
