Use apps and filters<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It lets you subtly shape, blur, morph, and defines some areas of the face. Some bloggers love the filters on VSCO<\/a>. Other great apps are Adobe Photoshop and Perfect365<\/a>. If your under-eye bags are bothering you, it is easy to blur them. If you want to whiten your teeth, no problem.

Lighting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It looks obvious, but\nthe first rule of taking a good selfie is to pay attention to the lighting. You\nneed good natural light. Light is the best beauty product you don\u2019t need to\npay. Don’t stay in front of your computer or tv. Turn towards the window with\nnatural light. Better, go outside, and benefit from the sun\u2019s glow (use\nsunscreen). Proper lighting can make a shadow disappear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you shoot your selfie inside, bloggers advise you to find a window. Natural sunlight will make for a perfect selfie. You can take a piece of white paper and hold it under the chin. It creates a natural light, illuminates the face, and reduces the double chin effect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No shadows<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There is nothing worse\nthan a huge shadow over your face. When you in doubt, face directly into or\naway from the sun. If it is the middle of the day, and the sun is high, the\nshadow will look like bags under your eyes. The best hour to shoot a photo is\nduring the sunrise or sunset when the light is low and beautiful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When do you use a flash?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Find natural light and\navoid shadows are main tips on how to take a perfect selfie, but what to do\nwhen it is dark. Maybe you are in a club or just at home, watching a movie, how\ndo you get a good selfie in the dark? Use Snapchat. This app has a flash\nfeature for the front-facing camera. The screen will burst bright light on your\nface. It won\u2019t look perfect \u2013 it gives the photo a subtle blue cast. The\npositive side is that you will be able to see your face. Save the picture in\nyour camera roll and play with the tone to make the photo a little less blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take many selfies<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The best tip to take a perfect selfie is to take as many as possible.\nYou need to take lots of selfies before finding the one you like. Try to turn\nyour head in different directions; change the angles between each shot. You\nwill obtain lots of photos, and you can choose the best one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another option is to\nfilm your selfie. You don’t need to take to make standard photos \u2014 press record\non the video and pose. You can make a 1 \u2013 2 minutes video. Now you can scroll\nthrough the video and freeze a frame with the best pictures. It looks too merely,\nbut you can obtain a good image this way. There are no differences between the\nselfies taken using the classical method and making a video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use angles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There is essential advice; keep your chin down and the camera up. When taking a selfie, hold the smartphone so that the bottom of it is level with your eyes. Or better, use a stick. The selfie sticks look ridiculous, but if you hold it up high, everyone will look svelte, slim, just like a supermodel. Don’t stare directly into the camera. Many people don’t look their best straight on. It is better to turn the side a little. You don’t need to take a full profile but turn just slightly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t over-edit<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While we like to edit and filter photo<\/strong><\/a>, you don\u2019t adjust your selfie to the point that it looks unnatural. You need to use a light touch. It is easy to exaggerate. You need to touch up the areas that are sensitives. The little lines around your eyes make you human. Never use the filters at max capacity. Instead of selecting a filter on Instagram, use the filter.\u00a0 When a sliding bar comes up, you can reduce the severity of the filter, making the app less edited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget the background<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The best pictures have\nimpressive backgrounds. It is great to take selfies while skydiving! You can\nuse simple backgrounds but beware of photo-bombers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never overthink it<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You need to relax. If you will try to hard,\nyour selfie is never going to be the perfect one. An exciting thing about\nselfies is that you don’t need to make a serious face. If your makeup took two\nhours to complete,  you are not doing\nright. The best selfie poses are the one that comes naturally to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embrace natural poses <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Before you snap a\nselfie, say \u201cyes\u201d in your head. You can inhale to have a relaxed expression. You\nneed to keep your eyes shut until the moment before you take the selfie. Your\nappearance will look best when your eyes are fresh. Avoid black-and-white\npictures. People like colors. Avoid sunglasses. If you include pets in your\nphoto, people will identify you with your kitten. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The secret to a right pose<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Keep the shoulders\ndown and back lengthens your neck and defines your jawline. These movements\nsuggest energy. Keep your shoulders back and smile with open eyes, and you will\nlook confident, curious, and competent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
