 <\/p>\n

Nailing the perfect selfie is no walk in the park. Chances are, you\u2019ll take about 50-100 pictures before you finally find the best shot – and who has time for that? For days when you\u2019ve nailed the <\/span>latest makeup trend<\/span><\/a> and your skin never looked better, we have the ultimate guide to make sure your selfies are always on point.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Find Your Light <\/b><\/h4>\n

When taking a selfie, lighting can make all the difference. Next time you\u2019re ready to snap a photo of yourself, try to incorporate natural light. If you\u2019re standing near a window, make sure to face the window when taking selfies, it\u2019s the most flattering lighting for all complexions. When in doubt, make sure the light is going towards your nose, then angle your face down slightly and snap away. Pro Tip: Steer clear of fluorescent light\u2026.thank us later.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Work Your Angles<\/b><\/h4>\n

Everyone has certain angles that make them look best, but when it comes to selfies, follow the golden rule: chin down, camera up. When taking a picture of yourself, make sure to hold your phone so that the bottom of the device is level with your eyes. The effect of moving the camera to a slightly higher angle is guaranteed to slim down your face. And if you think taking a photo from below the chin is going to work out for you, think again<\/em>!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Keep it Natural<\/b><\/h4>\n

If you want to smize your way to selfie perfection, make sure to keep it natural. A good rule of thumb is to steer clear of duck-lips (think Kim Kardashian circa early 2000s). It may seem cheesy (no pun intended), but everyone looks their best with a natural smile on their face – just think about how awesome you\u2019ll look and the grin will come easily! After you master the perfect pose, don\u2019t go filter crazy. Of course you\u2019ll want to enhance the image slightly, but if you go too far, it takes away from the image itself.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Know When to Use Flash<\/b><\/h4>\n

When you can\u2019t find a good source of natural light, meaning you\u2019re in a dark bar or at home watching Netflix, make sure to turn on the front-facing flash of your camera. If your phone doesn\u2019t have this, you can purchase a cheap selfie light to clip on your phone or even turn to Snapchat which has a flash feature for the front-facing camera.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Don\u2019t Forget About Skincare<\/b><\/h4>\n

Taking a solid selfie means getting up close and personal with your skin. If you\u2019re skipping your <\/span>daily skincare routine<\/span><\/a>, it\u2019s going to show. No matter how much makeup you cake on your skin, you can\u2019t forget about skincare! Make sure to cleanse daily with <\/span>LUNA<\/span><\/a>, enhance your skin with the help of <\/span>UFO<\/span><\/a>, and apply moisturizer (especially for a #nomakeupselfie).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Follow these golden rules and remember us when you\u2019re Insta-famous. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
