In an age where people are overwhelmed with social media such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, there is no escaping the importance of taking the perfect snap. Whether you admit it or not, you will never love the idea of your friend posting an ugly picture of you online. That is exactly what happens most of the time.
You spend a good amount of time trying to perfect your pose, and just when you think your picture will look as fabulous as Lady Di, you end up looking like a monster from the Hell Raiser series. The days on envying people on social media are gone. It’s time to become a beautiful, remarkable and outrageously photogenic entity on your social media. That’s why we prepared for you a list of 5 easy ways to look good in photos. Enjoy and promise to learn these simple tricks.
# No more blinking
If you are the kind of person who tends to blink a lot during taking pictures, and ends up with half-closed eyes in the photos, then you should try blinking just before the picture is taken. Blink before the camera clicks, so that at the time when the snap is complete, your eyes will remain wide open.
# Avoid the double chin
Pictures of you with double chins can really make you hate yourself. The simplest way to avoid that is by simply stretching out your neck and pushing your face forward to a certain extent. (don’t force it out like a tortoise coming out of a shell). Doing this may cause some awkwardness, but it’ll be worth the effort once the picture has been taken.
# Makeup
If you opt to put makeup on, then it has to be a seamless match. The slightest of errors in makeup are very easily highlighted in pictures. When the foundation is too heavy on your skin, the flash from the camera makes it very obvious that you have overdone your makeup. The makeup on your face has to be matched to the one on your skin in order for your photo to turn out good.
# Eyebrows
Believe it or not, but the eyebrows can make or break your picture. Depending on how you fill them in, they can make you look stressed out or energetic. The last thing you want is a picture of you where you look like an exhausted 40 year old person who is going through a mid-life crisis.
# Eliminate red eyes
Look at a light source before taking a picture. This will constrict your pupils and lower the chances of a red eye when taking the picture.
