Could you be the new face of Imedeen?
We’ve joined up with the skincare company and Close Models to give one of you the chance to be the poster girl for a new advertising campaign
Skincare experts Imedeen and Saga Magazine are joining forces for an exciting new competition - to find a new model to be the "face" of Imedeen Prime Renewal. The winner is guaranteed a 12-month contract with Imedeen, representation by Close Models and, of course, be featured in the magazine.
It’s not just a face we’re after – it’s someone who embodies Imedeen’s ethos, “You can do more to look as fabulous as you feel.” We know there are plenty of gorgeous, grown-up women out there with an irresistible sparkle – and we want to hear from you.
You can be in your fifties, sixties, seventies and more and you don’t have to be a classic beauty or a perfect size 10 – simply look great for your age and live life to the full.
The existing “face” is top model Harriet Close, veteran of many glossy magazine covers: and indeed some Saga fashion shoots. Ten years ago Harriet set up her own agency to answer a growing need for glamorous older models and has seen demand soar over the past few years. Now it is one of the country’s leading agencies.
“A model’s life used to be over at 30 – now it can easily begin at 50,” she says. And here is your chance to prove she’s right!
What is Imedeen Prime Renewal? It’s a beauty tablet specially formulated for post-menopausal skin.
Its Marine Complex and antioxidant-rich formula works from within to stimulate the formation of collagen and elastin. It helps boost skin firmness and makes it softer and more supple.
The competition will consist of two parts. The first stage is selection by a judging panel. Some 20 shortlisted entrants will be invited for a casting session in London on July 17 and 18 from which the judges will choose three finalists. They will each receive a year's supply of Imedeen Prime Renewal, a year's subscription to Saga Magazine, and £100 worth of Ariane Poole cosmetics. They must be available to take part in a styling and makeover photo-shoot in the first week of September, to be featured in the November issue of Saga Magazine.
The second stage will be over to you – to vote for the face and personality that most inspires. The winner will be announced in the February ’09 issue of Saga Magazine and be photographed by celebrated Danish photographer Steen Evald.
Some "small print": by entering, you agree that in the event of winning, you will attend the photo-shoot, be on time, sign a model release form and remain professional at all times. Your photos will be used for publicity and marketing. Shortlisted candidates will be notified on headed notepaper, but no other correspondence will be entered into.
