What should go in a Model Bag?

A model should be prepared at all times when out on castings and shoots.  Below are the top things that should be included in their Model Bag....
Lip Balm/Gloss – Keep your lips moisturized. 
Basic Makeup Kit – Foundation, press powder, mascara, eyeliner, eye drops. 
Hair Products – Bobby Pins, Hair Spray, Brush, Comb 
Nude Bra/Undergarments – Prevent your undergarments from clashing with clothes. Make sure you have a strapless bra and boy cut underwear too. 
Portfolio/Headshots – ALWAYS have your portfolio even if you’ve already booked the job. If you don’t have a portfolio, work on getting one shot by a professional photographer. 
Pumps – At least 4 inches. A client may ask you to work for them. 
Comp Cards – Leave something with the client or crew after they’ve reviewed your portfolio. 
Vouchers (agency models only) – This ensures you get paid from the client. 
Panty Liners – Don’t be embarrassed and caught off guard. You never know. Be prepared. 
Thank You Cards (blank) – Always thank the people you work with. Get their names beforehand. Handwriting a special note gives you bonus points. Try your local drug store. They usually have a pack of 10. 
Bottled Water – Keeps you hydrated. 
Directions to set – This will prevent you from arriving late. No one likes a late model. Try Google Maps. 
Cell Phone Charger – Its rude to be on your cell while shooting however make sure your cell is charging while you work. Put it on silent or turn off completely. 
Book/Tablet/MP3 Player: You may have a long downtime. This will keep you from becoming bored. 
Mouth Wash/Breath Mints – Keep your breath fresh. NO GUM!" 
 

To add to the nude undergarments, make sure they are seamless. Try to find a nude seamless thong and nude seamless boy shorts. Also get a nude convertible bra that can be strapless or used with straps - make sure the cups are smooth, no lace or trip that could show through clothing
