Tips and Tricks to Taking the Perfect Selfie

Know Your Good Side

Everyone has a good side, and if you want to master the art of selfie-taking, you need to find yours! My good side is the right side of the face, I don’t know why, I just know it is. Tilting your face a little bit so that your good side is more prominent makes for a better selfie. You also need to be aware of what makes you look good; while the sultry look might work for some, smiling wide could make yours look better.

Use the Filters

I’m of the opinion that natural is best, but if you do decide to go for filters, there are a few things to be considered. First of all, don’t pick the heavily filtered or darkened ones. Pick ones that lighten up your face. You can also experiment with combining a couple filters, which will give you a more unique and interesting effect.

Make it Interesting

Just as any picture, a selfie also needs a point of interest. If your picture is looking monotone with the same shades everywhere, there isn’t going to be much impact. Angle yourself so the picture catches a bright shade of color either in the background or on yourself (a cute top, bold colored lipstick, the blue sky, etc.)
