How to Become a Makeup Model
Makeup modelling is an incredibly competitive industry and if you want to succeed, you’ll need to get off to the best possible start.
Sydney is home to a thriving modelling and acting industry with many of the nation’s leading agencies having their headquarters based in the city. So it should come as no surprise that Hunter Talent also has a strong presence in Sydney.
In fact, Sydney is one of our busiest markets and our talents based in the city have worked with some of the country’s leading brands and production companies, but more on that later.
Our headquarters is in Melbourne, but Sydney has become our home away from home. Despite not having a permanent location in Sydney, our frequent trips to the Harbour City ensure we stay deeply connected.
We’ve built strong relationships and continue to add diverse Sydney talents to our books, much like we do in Melbourne.
This is in part thanks to the wonderful Sydney-based talents that we have on our books and also because of the amazing clients and casting directors that we work with in the city.
Although we may not have a permanent location, we can still guarantee our talents the very best representation. That also means having the opportunity to work with some of the very best locally-based clients.
So if you’re an actor, model, creative, or influencer looking for professional talent representation in the Sydney area, then feel free to get in touch with us through our contact page or just give us a call on 1800 491 828.

The gig economy has redefined the employment landscape, offering unparalleled flexibility and autonomy to professionals in various fields. For young adults and adults in the creative sectors, freelancing presents both exciting opportunities and formidable challenges
The casting industry has undergone significant transformations over the years, with digital technology playing a pivotal role in reshaping the landscape. For young adult and adult talents navigating the world of modelling and acting, understanding these changes is crucial.
Since we first opened our doors, we’ve been highly selective about who we choose to represent and who we work with. This focus on talent and quality has helped us to build a reputation as the agency to work with for both clients and talents.
As a result, our talents have worked with global brands, the most famous local brands, and major production companies shooting both TV and feature length productions.

That’s the million dollar question right there.
The truth is that we have no idea, as it all depends on your suitability to a role and a client’s requirements.
One thing we are sure of is that we’ll promote the hell out of you.
If a suitable brief comes in, we’ll make damn sure the right people see your portfolio.
The rest is up to you.
We’re a boutique agency and that means that we place quality over quantity in everything we do.
We have about 300 super-talented folk on our books, and we can vouch for the professionalism of each and every one. We can probably even tell you how they all like their coffee too.
That’s a definite no.
Seriously, when two agencies put you forward for the same role, it looks super unprofessional for both you and the agencies involved. Don’t do this thinking you’ll get more work because it could hurt your career.
This depends on the job in question, but our commission ranges from 10 – 20%.
No, we do not charge fees to join the agency. However, we do require you to pay for portal subscriptions that are critical casting tools for the entertainment industry.
We also require you to have high-quality, professional headshots. If you don’t already have headshots, we can organise a shoot with one of our amazing in-house photographers for a reasonable fee.
Yes, we have a commission agreement that you sign when you join the agency. This is a legally binding document and it’s there to protect everyone involved (that means you too).
The commission agreement is usually for a period of twelve months as this gives us plenty of time to put your forward for suitable opportunities.
The commission agreement can be terminated at any time by mutual consent because after all, sometimes things just don’t work out.
Oh, yeah! Nothing like paying less tax, right?
Any payment made for casting portals and headshots are tax deductible if you make enough money to cross the tax threshold.
We’re going to stop right there though. We’re not tax consultants and we think you really should speak to someone who knows more about tax laws and finances.
