Who would have ever thought our world would be consumed by taking "selfies". I am as guilty as the next person. Here are some tips to help you take better selfies.
1. Check your light! Lighting is everything when it comes to a good selfie. You need good "Natural" light. Light is undoubtedly the best beauty product you don't have to pay for! When taking a selfie turn towards a window or go outside and bask in the suns glow. But be careful where you go because harsh sunlight can cast shadows and squinting! I suggest dining a window and stand in front of that. Or take a piece of white paper hold it under your chin and it creates a natural bounce of light. 2. Smile like you mean it Don't force a big smile or force a smile. Think of something funny or something that makes you smile. You will see a natural smile. if you are going for a slightly more serious selfie "try smiling with your eyes". Practice in front of mirror. Also ditch the duck face! 3. Take a lot of selfies. Kylie Jenner says she takes about 500 selfies before she likes one to post. I don't take 500 selfies but I do take a few before I find the right one.... and don't forget to clean your camera! 4. Play with your angles. When taking a selfie hold the phone so that the bottom of its level with your eyes. Try tilting your head in different directions and changing angles up slighting between each shot. Don't forget to make sure the camera focused before snapping away. Another great tip is to use a selfie stick. 5. Don't over edit your photos. I go on Facebook and Instagram and see girls over editing and airbrushing your photos to the point that they don't look like themselves. Its OK to use filters ( I use them all the time) but don't look unnatural. When you are using a filter you have an option to not use it at max capacity. Just slide it down a bit!
