Now, on to you! Here are 3 steps to creating a look to be considered for any work within the beauty modeling industry:
1. Take care of your skin.
It's so important! Hydrate on all fronts: drink plenty of water and moisturize. Plus, vitamin c cream is your best friend for a healthy look.

Try not to be too trendy with color or cuts, seeing that you may be looked over when a particular look is needed.
3. Attitude!
Most importantly I know we have all heard handsome is as handsome does. When you radiate positivity from the inside out, there is no better beauty than that.
From Sex and the City 2 to Rachel Getting Married, from The Sorcerer's Apprentice to Bride Wars, Frank Barbosa has styled some of the biggest celebrities in film, TV, and theater. He's just finished styling on location alongside film stylist Alan D'Angerio on the film, The Odd Life of Timothy Green, starring Jennifer Garner. He's been in the industry for 17 years, moving from hip neighborhoods in Chicago, to Boston's Newbury St, to Bellevue Avenue in Newport. He maintains that his real passion, though, is being behind a salon chair at Frank Antonio Hair and Makeup in Newport.
