Becoming the Next Top Model is probably great and all, but being Tyra Banks' main man of makeup has its perks as well.

Fashionista Jay Manuel has settled a lawsuit with Thruline Entertainment Inc., a management firm that had sued him for unpaid commissions for his work on ANTM. The terms of the deal are still being finalized, according to a document filed Sept. 29 by Thruline attorneys, and there was no immediate comment from either side.

But the most eye-catching element of all this may be that the suit states that Manuel made more than $405,000 for his work as a creative consultant and photo-shoot producer on the show.

We were impressed by Jay's work with the blush brush before, but that is just fierce.
