Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
You could put the pictures on http://www!.redbubble!.com/ so then you have an online portfolio!.

Its totally free, but dont forget to credit the photographer with the photos taken!.

People in your area will then maybe 'hire' you for fashion shoots!.
There are 'local' groups all round the UK, so there must be one that covers your area!.
Its worth a try, as its free, so you have nothing to lose !.Www@QuestionHome@Com

a portfolio is the first idea both a printed and an online!. there are alot of ways to find good photographers to!. be careful of online things like onemodelplace and modelmayhem!. while there are a lot of good and even great photographers, you also come across some slime balls as well!. there is not enough just in makeup modeling so you will need to broaden your goals a little!. the main catigories are -
fashion- casual and elegant
swimsuit
glamor
artistic
runway
parts - parts models tend to have a niche that they fill and while there are relatively few, there are still to many!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There are "beauty models" but it is very rare that they would just do this type of modelling!. It is unlikely there would be enough work just in this style to keep a model employed!.

The vast majority of jobs come through agencies so you would have to approach some of the main agencies and see what they say!.

For a list of decent agencies see http://www!.albamodel!.infoWww@QuestionHome@Com

Your gonna need to put together some sort of port folio!.

therefore i advise you get a set of professional photos done, of your face!.

then take the book/portfolio, to a company, such as "avon"!.
etc!.!.

Don't use internet sites!.
if YOU have to pay, it's a con!.

good luck!.

you remind me of a Sophie Leron in her younger years!.
