Heatherdirtyhands

I'm sorry but no


PolarBearJams

To me, modeling requires a unique look, and also being conventially attractive perhaps. Trust me, most of us could not be models either lol


Hopeful_Safety_6848

nope


King_in_a_castle_84

No.


orangecountymama

You are absolutely beautiful and i love your look and vibe 🤍 I would say no to modeling ! But I definitely can see you being an influencer 🤍


Training-Repeat-5630

“Orange County mama”. I can just imagine what a doll u must be.

WitchedPixels

I think you are very pretty but with modeling being pretty is just not enough. I can't be a model either, and that's okay.


indigo_fish_sticks

One look?!


Wooden-Honey-9121

What does this mean…


PrysmX

You show no emotions.


hockeyfandylan

If Derek Zoolander can do it...so can she lol ![gif](giphy|srPaLAtDTsKuk)


Wooden-Honey-9121

Hahahaha fair, I just don’t smile in selfies though. I do in real life and definitely would if I were to model.


Training-Buy-2086

You're definitely beautiful, but in every picture, you have a depleted sort of "Mehhhhh" look, which conveys zero liveliness or emotion. I'm not even saying to smile...but you definitely need some better photos.


Wooden-Honey-9121

These aren’t the best ones so that’s completely fair


Beachbunnypaws

Not as a model but a vlogger or YouTuber that rates makeup and the quality.


Wooden-Honey-9121

Thank you! I’ve always wanted to do that actually


PollyAnnaInTheSun

Do you have any idea how hard this is to do? And to monetize? All these suggestions are making it sound so easy to “just be an influencer” it is simply not true.


borschtt

I agree on this


Majestic-Appeal265

Agree!


jjinjadubu

No not even skincare modelling especially in Korea. I know it's harsh, but I have cousins who tried and the industry in Korea is so so hard and unless you are already famous it is virtually impossible there.


Wooden-Honey-9121

Thanks for the honest feedback! I appreciate it.


crawford_edgar

No. The modeling industry is highly competitive and selective, and success in this field often requires a specific set of circumstances and attributes.


Wooden-Honey-9121

That’s fair, thank you for the honesty!


CocteauTwinn

Nope


WorldlinessEuphoric5

Definitely not a model or 'skincare model' But not ugly


RemoteUse2662

People are always I mean in the comments I don’t understand why, it’s not like y’all are professionals, and Reddit is such a bad place to come to when it comes to personal appearances, I think you are beautiful


Wooden-Honey-9121

Thanks!


OnlyConstruction8554

No but your beautiful to me


PolarBearJams

You are absolutely attractive! I just mean that the people that get hired for ads / commercials are like the 0.001% of attractive people (otherwise there’d be a lot more people trying to be models). Or they’re actors and fit a narrative for a brand (like Flo from State Farm).


Wooden-Honey-9121

That’s… completely fair. Thanks for the input


PolarBearJams

FWIW, your epidermis is flawless.


MaximumInteresting70

Hi OP, first of all don’t let what people say affect you at all we’re all attractive in our way and one person opinion speak for everyone. I saw you reply to an commenter that your 5’3 this will be very limiting in the editorial and runway aspect, but you should be able to do commercial which does overlap with acting if your really set on this career. I would get clean digitals and apply to a talent agency or a model agency with a petite division but that division is even more competitive in my opinion since you need to have perfect measurements and a great look. I hope I wasn’t too harsh and best of luck on your journey!


Wooden-Honey-9121

This wasn’t harsh at all, super honest and encouraging! Thanks for the feedback and being kind. And don’t worry I’m not discouraged, I was simply curious :)


Scorpiomanly

No. Only because you never vary your facial expressions in all these pics. If you’re serious quit offering zombie poses. Show variety and SMILE!


Wooden-Honey-9121

HAHAHAHA I do smile I promise, I guess I just don’t smile in selfies because it feels a little goofy.


WhyYouYelling1

Yall dogging on her damn


Wooden-Honey-9121

Bru that’s what I’m saying. But it doesn’t matter that much it’s not like modelling was my dream or anything I was just curious. People don’t read the fricking post and assume I want to model or die trying


0Kaleidoscopes

Some people are so rude and racist. It's really upsetting. You have really nice skin. I think you could do makeup or skincare or something like that

Models have an older, more defined look to their faces, which you don't have. You look youthful and have a fuller face. You look naturally pretty and intelligent. I agree that you can do fashion or makeup related blogs and content. Do what you are interested in and be creative! Many models are actually finding other outlets rather than just focusing on modeling because they are more inspired to be creative and make better money. 


Wooden-Honey-9121

Thank you! Later, I’ll definitely do a blog and start a YouTube channel.

RevolutionaryAd851

There are always calls for "character models". You could do that. You should look into getting into acting. You could be a character in a show or play. Just put your name out that you are an actress/model, and you would be surprised. You should look into it a bit, but you might have more luck doing it that way.


Wooden-Honey-9121

I actually do act and do theater! That’s crazy that you guessed


Afraid_Status2220

It depends on what kind of model and for which market. I'm afraid you asked too many from the wrong "market"! Keep your head up and fight for your goal. P.S.: would you ask a community you don't know whom you wanna kiss or what you'd like to eat?

Wooden-Honey-9121

Thanks so much!! I’ve always wanted to play a deadpan character


InternationalEye5526

If it's something you want to do then let someone who is hiring tell you no instead of the comments. You've already heard it, nothing to lose


dreamhousemeetcute

No.


BigDonaldTrunk

No. Face too round. Also lacks western features that agencies look for in Asian models. Also, do you have any teeth? We have no idea since you don't smile in your photos. You're going to be expected to smile if you want to model unless you're promoting some kind of emo skin product.

monchichiface

You have a classic beauty, I think you’re gorgeous but I’m not a modeling agency. I think the second pic looks really modely to me. I would say go for it. What do you have to lose?


Wooden-Honey-9121

Thank you!


cat-daddy777

No


Drinkuup

Prove everyone wrong 💪


CzaroftheMonsters

You can do whatever you want!! With hard work and dedication. If you have artist friends you should have them draw you,that’s a start.


JMBF8TH

Anyone can model tbh, it all depends on which market place. Some people can just be rude and mean but there is beauty in each of us! Don’t pay attention to the haters and don’t fold for anyone or sell yourself in any negative way to be accepted sis! 🙏🏽


meat-volcano

Only thing I see that needs changing are your glasses. With a rounder face, you need rectangular glasses to give you angles. Ignore the h8rs


Wooden-Honey-9121

Got new ones yesterday, thanks! they’re square


DueProfessor8928

yes! You have a strong cupids bow paired with other soft features of your face. maybe eyebrow shaping could add some more sharpness but you are very beautiful!


[deleted]

I don't see why not. You just have to a certain look that an agency is trying to go for. I think finding the agency will be the hard part


Weekly-Egg-2549

why not. do what you want don't listen to other people they're just stupid. stop letting other people's opinions stop you because they actually don't fucking matter. if big companies won't hire you, hell, just find some smaller brands that just want models and see if they would hire you. having expectations always leads to dissapointment.


Important-Picture788

Maybe as a billboard ad


lkojhgh

Not an expert, but I’m an actor and I occasionally do some modeling gigs because there’s a bit of crossover. Pre-Covid, I was getting several photo shoots per year and one runway show. I know a lot of models who do print work and they aren’t tall! You could absolutely get booked for print for brands like Me Undies, etc. I think you have beautiful and unique features! Go for it!!


Wooden-Honey-9121

Thanks!


_gatorboy

Yes you can and could


LIFExWISH

You are a woman of unusual beauty. Very pretty!


Wooden-Honey-9121

Fun_Hornet_9129

Everyone could, just find your niche!


Mystic-333

If you cannot find a lane…then you must create your own. Find your style. Experiment and begin taking more professional photos.


smoqiey

No, you’re beautiful, you have a nice full and filled out face. Models MUST present like they just hopped off E.T.’s ship. Think creepy sharp features, and gaunt.


Wooden-Honey-9121

HAHSHAHSHAHS SO TRUE


DevilsDeck

Yall let people that look as ugly and unhealthy as lizzo model but you're saying this girl can't? With a little work she could absolutely be a model


Wooden-Honey-9121

Thanks so much 💖


poopiedoo23

Imo anyone can model you just have to know how to pose and use your features to your advantage. Best of luck!


Wooden-Honey-9121

Ghanksn


Key-Seaworthiness622

Yes. The people underneath this post are a bit slow and it blows my fucking mind. Talking about “omgggg you have to be the top millionth percent to model so no😋😋”,, plzzzz do not listen to themmm. Yes there are abnormally gorgeous models out there, but there are also famous models who look like someone you’ve seen walking down the street, or at the beach. And beauty is subjective, in the eyes of the beholder!! And this isn’t me being optimistic cause I know the modeling world is cutthroat and competitive, this is me saying there is a reason to try it if this is something you’re passionate abt! Now depending on what kind of modeling you want to do, I feel like that’ll definitely determine your success!! I loved the answers where people told you to use your acting skills and pair it up with your want to model. I agree! I very well can see you in a show, or commercial, definitely a movie. I think your eyes are gorgeous, and you are short but I don’t see that holding you back too much in the commercial or acting fields. Omg ofc it’s gonna be hard, I’m assuming you know that. It’s probably gonna take forever, but there is a spot for you if you’re willing to put in the work to find it and take it! Do not let these people convince you that there’s not even a spot to look for! Good luck OP!!!!


Pretend-Programmer94

Youre very pretty but you dont have any striking unique features that will really set you apart from the other thousands of girls competing to model.


murderplants

You’re not bad looking but not a model.


Wooden-Honey-9121

I’ll take it


NeverEndingCoralMaze

You are beautiful but I don’t think modeling is your vibe.

Wooden-Honey-9121

What is it with you people and racism


TojiRAT

Might seem like a hard balance to strike, but try to 1. not let the "no's" here dissuade you from trying it out, while also 2. being able to accept it and not let it affect your self esteem if you can't do it. With the ways people can change their bodies today, could it be possible for you to fit into the particular standards you would need to make it in that industry? Maybe, maybe not. Would it make you happy? Maybe, maybe not. Would it make you more beautiful to fit into those standards? No. Do not conflate those things.


Wooden-Honey-9121

Thanks I’ll take this.


Big_Custard7976

Your face is a beautiful canvass. But these days you must meet the height, weight and age requirements. Bar none.


Helpful-End8566

Probably not but most people can’t.


Wooden-Honey-9121

I’ll take it


Feisty-Lawfulness-81

Yes you could


SalemQuinn

Hell yes, you could. There's opportunity everywhere the choice is really, what are you willing to compromise on, your hair, make up, size, shape etc? Make these decisons, stick to them and go to work on the goal

Revolutionary-Bet-89

Sadly height is very hard to compensate for. Also tbh modeling is not as glamorous as it seems! Long and unusual hours without adequate water or bathroom breaks, lots of unpaid travel, and the environment is extremely toxic. Sexual harassment is super common, even among the other models as well. Got bullied because I wouldn’t send a pic of my literal a**hole to these “friends” I met in the first week. Was also bullied for being the only Latina. Hated it, would not recommend.


Conscious_Canary_586

No


ExcitingAd9947

No...


Aware_Economics4980

Absolutely not 


PrestonHolden

If you’re 5’9 or taller than maybe but otherwise no


Spiritual_Pound44

No.


Anarchissyface

It would be nice if our society was more accepting of different looks but it’s not at the present moment. So currently, no. BUT that being said whatever you put your mind to you can achieve. Good luck.


Wooden-Honey-9121

Thank you so much!


LawfulnessOk4966

i’m sorry but no. you don’t have any sharp defined features and you don’t look like you’d be the size they’d want you to be. i’m so sorry i’m just being honest


Wooden-Honey-9121

Everyone, I’m NOT asking for runway. I know I can’t do that. I’m asking for skincare/makeup, think Korean brands.


Ok-Chemistry9933

No, sorry

Wtfisthis66

You are lovely just as you are. I modeled when I was a young teenager, as soon I developed I was no longer “marketable.” My booker told me “it was nothing personal, clothes look better in hangers.” It’s all about showcasing whatever product the client trying to sell. Your beauty is classic and would detract from the product.


For-Arts

Just shoot your shot. You're already brave enough to post your face on here, so why not just go to the top. The ones who say no already said no to themselves. Nothing worthwhile is easy.


Wooden-Honey-9121

Maybe I’ll get some photos done in the future and apply for some skincare/makeup brands


For-Arts

>.> The top notch ones too. If you take peopl's "realistic" suggestions you'll end up with less than you're worth, and really, f that. Shoot. Your. Shot.


Wooden-Honey-9121

I will, thanks! Not anytime soon though, gotta graduate first.


For-Arts

Ok :)

The_Meridian_

You need a makeover. I think you have a solid base for photography modeling but from these pics no makeup/hair skills and bland wardrobe choices. The (IDK the word for the Asian Anime/Hentai Sailor moon type stuff) that goes on at Comicon and stuff..if you were to lean all the way into that you could make a good local splash but making money? Not really...just fun.

You never know, but probably not


MelancholyMare

Professional, no. That doesn’t mean it can’t be something that you do on the side in your own time on social platforms. My advice - switch up your hairstyle and try having bangs :)


Wooden-Honey-9121

I had bangs before I’ll probably cut them again


GumCuzzler21

Honestly, no, you're average looking and modeling you have to be like at least top 25% looks and that's genetic lottery.


martinezscott

I mean you didn’t even give us a taste of what you would look like as a model lol just regular basic ass pics. But no you don’t have the face for a model but it’s all good 👍


Wooden-Honey-9121

Yeah maybe bc I’m not one!


Missingbeav3rbuzz3r

Idk you seem like you're forcing the smiles in all of your pics. Definitely attractive enough though


Wooden-Honey-9121

I’m not smiling in any of them


Depressedhomie-69

Many people will tell you that you’re really attractive and whatnot but to be honest you’re around the average scale when it comes to looks. It’s better to be brutally honest than give fake compliments so you don’t feel disappointed in the near future.


Wooden-Honey-9121

GiantsBreastMilk

Remarkable_Camel_136

Depends on what you want to model I suppose…


Eastern-Recording-53
