Mastering the Technique of Winged Eyeliner:

Winged eyeliner stands as a timeless method that imparts a touch of elegance and allure to your eyes. While it may appear daunting, practice is the key to success. Follow these steps for achieving impeccable winged eyeliner:

Step 1: Prepare Your Eyes - Begin by applying eyeshadow primer onto your eyelids for enduring results. Optionally, apply eyeshadow to enhance dimension.

Step 2: Choose Your Eyeliner - Opt for your preferred type of eyeliner, whether it's liquid, gel, or pencil. Liquid liners yield precise lines, whereas gel liners afford more control, making them ideal for beginners.

Step 3: Outline the Wing - With a steady hand, draw a fine line along your upper lash line, extending it slightly beyond the outer corner to define the wing.


Step 4: Fill in the Wing - Connect the tip of the wing back to your initial line, forming a triangular shape. Meticulously fill in the triangle to complete the winged effect.

Step 5: Line Your Lashes - Line your upper lash line, maintaining uniform thickness from the inner to outer corners. Taper the wing to a refined point for a polished outcome.

Step 6: Refine and Perfect - Employ a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to rectify any errors or smudges. This final touch-up will refine your winged eyeliner.

The Craft of Contouring:

Contouring can sculpt and define your facial features, enhancing your appearance with a stunning effect. Here's how to attain impeccably contoured facial contours:

Step 1: Choose Your Products - Select a contour shade slightly darker than your skin tone, alongside a highlighter shade slightly lighter. Opt for either cream or powder products based on your preference.

Step 2: Identify Your Face Shape - Ascertain your facial shape (oval, round, square, heart, diamond) to determine where to contour and highlight for optimal outcomes.

Step 3: Contour Your Cheekbones - Locate your cheekbones by gently drawing in your cheeks. Apply contour in a diagonal line along the hollows, blending upwards for a seamless finish.

Step 4: Define Your Jawline - Sculpt your jawline by applying contour along the sides and blending downward.

Step 5: Nose Contouring - Achieve a slender nose by applying contour along the sides of your nose bridge and blending. Enhance the center with highlighter for added dimension.

Step 6: Illuminate Key Areas - Highlight your cheekbones, nose bridge, cupid's bow, and the center of your forehead to accentuate your features.

By adhering to these systematic tutorials, you will gain mastery over winged eyeliner and contouring techniques with assurance. Remember, practice is crucial, and don't hesitate to experiment with diverse products and methods. Embrace your creativity and savor the process of refining your makeup skills. The secret to excelling in these techniques lies in your eagerness to learn and your passion for the art of makeup. Enjoy your explorations!

From Fresh Face to Booked and Busy: Start Networking Like a Pro

What's Irving Serving?  The Power of People: Why Networking Matters for New Models Starting out as a new model can feel overwhelming. You’re figuring out your portfolio, getting comfortable in front of the camera, and trying to make sense of an industry that often seems like it’s built on “who you know.” And you’re not wrong — relationships are everything in this business. But here’s the good news:  You don’t need to be famous to start building your network. You just need to be intentional. I’ve mentored a lot of new faces over the years, and I’ve seen the same truth play out every time: the models who build genuine connections — not just collect contacts — are the ones who go the distance. Here’s what I tell every new model who wants to build a strong network from day one. 1.  Be Someone People Want to Work With Before anything else, make sure your reputation is solid. That means being professional, on time, respectful, and easy to communicate with. People in this indust...

What's Irving Serving?  Rules of Wearing Statement Pieces (For Guys, Dolls, and Everyone In Between) You’ve got the statement piece. Maybe it’s a jacket that could start a conversation in five languages. Maybe it’s a necklace your grandma passed down, and it  slaps . Or maybe it’s those boots that whisper,  “I came here to conquer.”  But here’s the thing—wearing a statement piece is an art, not a free-for-all. No need for sass, just a little style wisdom from someone who wants you to look sharp without trying too hard. Let’s get into the rules. 1. One Statement at a Time, Please Your statement piece should be the star of the show—not fighting five other loud extras for screen time. Whether it’s a bold coat, graphic print pants, or a chunky chain, pick one standout. Let it speak. Don’t turn your outfit into a shouting match. Example:  Got neon sneakers? Cool. Maybe skip the printed pants and go with clean, neutral joggers instead. 2. Let the Basics Do the Heavy L...

What Is Slating?

What's Irving Serving? How to Slate for Modeling Auditions:  What is “Slating”? “Slating” is the industry term for introducing yourself in an audition, whether it’s in-person, virtual, or self-taped. When you are going out for a modeling job, acting job, or voice-over, slating is something that you would be submitting to get the job.  While it may seem like a small step, slating sets the tone for your audition and allows those watching to get a sense of your personality and professionalism.  1. It's All About Confidence! When slating, confidence is key. Do your best to stand tall, smile naturally, and look directly into the camera. You want to come across as comfortable and professional right from the start. Remember, your slate is the first thing casting directors & modeling agencies will see, so it’s important to project a positive and engaging energy. You can use your phone to take this if you do not have a camera.  2. Who Are You? Introduce Yourself: A s...
