Learn Eleven (11) Quick Attractive Selfie Tips

Here are some “selfie” posing tips, along with suggestions on how to hold your camera or phone to give you an exciting and attractive image. For you to avoid showcasing irregularity of your body sizes and skin tones reflecting in the image/ picture is one thing we want you to achieve. Some take some shots with their phones and you will wonder if that is actually the size of their head or may be the colour of their skin. Learning how to use your phone camera and also pose for a selfie will make a much bigger difference in how you look in the photo than any camera app will. However, we know it can be difficult to take a flattering photo of you while also holding the camera; so going through the following tips will help do the magic:

Experiment with Angles
Tilt your head to the left but be gentle" to avoid twisting it" and then the right as you view yourself on your phone’s screen. For most of us, one side is more attractive than the other. Also, showing off your “best side” is generally more interesting than a straight-on shot, too.

Adjust Your Shoulder Placement
If your shoulders are parallel to the camera, turn them slightly to the left and then slightly to the right, and see what looks best.

Stand in the Light
Pose in an area with beautiful lighting –either inside or outside. Gorgeous lighting is equal to a more flattering selfie. Hold the phone in front of your face and turn the camera, so you can see yourself and how the lightening looks on you. Ideally, during the magic hour! is the best time (The magic hour is actually two hours—one hour after sunrise and one hour before sunset).

Pose with Something New
Perhaps; you just got a new pair of glasses. Frame the photo to accentuate your new spectacles. If you recently had your hair cut and colored, show it off in your selfie. Or if you just brought home an adorable puppy, pose with your new furry friend.

Do Something Interesting
Take a picture of you engaging in a fun activity and please not embarrassing activity— Take shots of you like swimming in the pool, snorkeling in the ocean, sitting on a jet ski, or hiking.

Accessorize
Throw on a hat, don a wig, or wear sunglasses but try to look different from the insane people on the street so you won't get people more confused.

Express Yourself
Smile! Frown. Pout. Or make a silly face (But no, not the duck face!)

Take a Full-Body Shot
A full-length mirror works well for this type of selfie shot. Again, angle your body to the left or right, which is generally more flattering than shooting straight on. But make sure that whatever side you end up showing, your selling point is in.

Release Your Camera’s Shutter the Easy Way
Holding your camera with one hand is more common, but a little trickier to keep it steady and take a photo. With the iPhone, you can quickly and easily take a picture by hitting either the shutter release button or one of the volume buttons.

Extend your Neck Forward

To completely remove any double chin in your photo, and to accentuate your jaw line, extend your neck forward but make sure is not a camel's look.  This may feel funny, but it will dramatically improve how you look in the photo.  Also, shoot from above. Raise the camera slightly above you and then look up to even further accentuate the jaw.

Use a QUALITY Selfie Stick!

One way to really make your selfies stick out is to get rid of the cheesy ‘extended arm in the photo” look.  I know it seems weird to use a selfie stick at first, but there’s a reason you see them all over the place–they make the photos look really good!

There are two basic types of selfie sticks–wired and Bluetooth.  I much prefer the Bluetooth variety.  It’s really simple to connect and then you don’t have to constantly stick the cord in and out of the phone every time you want to take a picture.  Bluetooth is much faster. If you want to get an actually GOOD selfie stick, the good news is that the price has come way down.

Do You Want To Be Photogenic?

Here is 26 Tricks That Will Make You Look More Gorgeous!

I know we love taking pictures with friends and family more than anything and if not for anything just to remember moments shared together. And one thing we don’t love in that process is looking back and seeing how terrible the pictures look.

Here is what we want: to still look good in pictures no matter how long you took them. You are in the right place because am going to share with you tricks that will do the magic and people will be intrigued by you.

Even if you love the way you look in person, it takes practice to make sure your beauty speaks on camera. So here is the good news; learning how to be photogenic is a skill you can totally master like the models out there.

Now open your eyes and mind as we quickly get down to the list:

1.    Make sure you are not heavy, before attempting to take a shot of you or selfie. Some people tend to be heavily weighted as a result of eating so much and this reduces their flexibility and attractiveness. Be light so you can be sharp and smart in looks and beauty. And if you must eat to be filled please don't take the shot yet before you appear swollen on camera.

2.     If you tend to blink in photos, close your eyes just before the picture is taken and open them slowly before the camera clicks. No more closed eyes or half-closed eyes!

3.     To avoid a double chin, elongate your neck and push your face forward a bit. Think of sticking out your forehead and tipping your chin slightly down. It might feel awkward, but it will look great — I promise.

4.    Make sure your makeup is a perfect match. Because “When a foundation is too pale for your skin tone, it becomes very obvious when a flash hits the skin.” So I advice, “Match your skin to your chest and add a thin layer to your neck if your neck is paler (as is the case for most people).”

5.     If you already have then is good for you. But I must tell you that curled lashes and mascara are must, Stiles insists (she swears by mark Scanda-Lash Mascara). “Both open up your eyes, and the eyes are the focal point of a picture. You want to draw people into a picture, so you want to maximize the impact of the eyes. They more open they are, the more the light hits them and that’s what makes them twinkle!”

6.     Take a look at your favourite pictures of yourself and try to spot a pattern. Do you like the way you look from a certain angle? When you smile a specific way? Try to replicate your best poses next time you have your photo taken.

7.    Try this old school red carpet trick: Put your tongue behind your teeth when you smile to avoid a goofy, too-wide grin.

8.    Fill in your brows. Not only do your eyebrows convey character and emotion, they often mean all the difference between looking wide awake and washed out on camera. You may even consider using a slightly darker brow pencil if you know you’ll be photographed, since features tend to look lighter in pictures.

9.     Make sure your hair is shiny. “Spray-on shine is great for a last minute add-on shine,” says hair stylist Serge Normant, who’s worked with Julia Roberts, Reese Witherspoon, Julianne Moore and Sarah Jessica Parker throughout his years in the biz. He recommends misting hair with his Serge Normant Meta Sheer Dry Oil Finishing Spray ($24, shopsergenormant.com) for maximum gloss

10. A photo can highlight flyaways, so make sure your style is sleek. “A good pomade or dry oil will help, but use lightly,” To avoid looking like a mascurade.

11.   Look toward a light right before someone snaps your photo. Doing so will shrink your pupils and help you avoid red eye.

12.   Surprise photo op? Try this five-second prep: Blot your face with a tissue or single-ply cocktail napkin, then pinch your cheeks to create a rosy glow (yep, it’s old school, but it works).

13.  A couple drops of Visine will help your eyes look brighter and more awake.

14. Blush is a must! Without some color on your cheeks, your face can look two dimensional in photos. Use a medium pink shade on the apples of your cheeks to help shape your face.

15.  Think about angles. Facing the camera straight on is rarely flattering; instead, turn your head to a three-quarter position to give your features depth. It will turn out awesome.

16. This really does work to help you look slimmer. Try the “red carpet” pose: put your hand on your hip, angle your body to the side and turn your head towards the camera.  

17.  Avoid serious sparkle on your face. “Anything too shimmery on the skin can just be too much in a photo.

18.  On the other hand, a bit of sparkle below the neck can give your skin a pretty sheen. Dust your collarbone and shoulders with a shimmering powder such as Chanel Natural Finish Loose Powder in Moonlight ($52, chanel.com), which has the perfect finish for playing up assets.

19. Try Standing in front of a white wall. A light-colored backdrop will help brighten your face. Using a white background also helps a camera’s automatic settings find the right color balance, so your skin tone doesn’t end up looking too pink or yellow.

20. Try Wear bright lipstick. “Dark lipstick can have a minimizing effect on lips,” says Stiles. “Steer clear of a dark matte lip color. It can look aging and unflattering. So stick with brighter colors.”

21.   Be in more pictures! People who think they’re unphotogenic tend to pose for fewer photos overall, but photography is a game of averages. So the more shots you let your photographer take, the more likely you’ll be happy with one or two of them.

22.  A photo shot from just above you is way more flattering than one shot from below. If you’re taller than the person holding the camera, grab a seat.

23.   Avoid standing directly under a light, which can cast weird shadows on your face. Instead, stand facing a natural light source, such as a window, or in a spot where soft light hits your face from the side.

24. Grab a prop — preferably not a red Solo cup. Holding onto an object such as a flower or decoration can help you relax your posture and add personality to a picture.

25.  To make your eyes sparkle, look at a light source. A lamp or brightly lit Christmas tree will create a flattering gleam in your pupils.

26.  Try to think of something funny and forget saying “cheese,” Better yet, joke with the photographer. A natural smile trumps a fake one every time.
