The famous seem to master this art like no one else, and have a series of tricks that help to leave the photo impeccable. The good news is that these tips are easy to learn.

We don’t want you to get addicted to taking selfies either, but since it’s very likely that at some point you’ll want to take one, we want everything to work out. Check out the tips below, take a selfie and let us know if it worked.

This doesn’t mean using expensive equipment (of course, if you have one, be sure to use it). In fact, to make your skin smoother, hide small imperfections or simply achieve the ideal glow, use the natural light that comes in through the window. Model Gigi Hadid has mastered this trick. In her profile, almost all selfies have the correct lighting, studio or natural. This helps to make the photos much more striking.

This is an obvious but often overlooked rule of thumb. The question is in the simple way of highlighting the most suitable, that is, in its appearance, and not in the background. Even worse is when there’s a big mess in the background. That is, it all depends on your imagination and your preferences. By applying good eyelash makeup, you draw attention to your eyes, by working on your hair and outfit, you show off your overall style more, and so on.

The most common mistake when taking a selfie is using too low an angle. When placing the cell phone from bottom to top, the image is distorted, the jaw is large, the chin is too wide and the head and eyes appear too small. By raising your cell phone too high, you will look like an alien. Therefore, the best option is to keep the cell phone at eye level or a little higher. In the first case, the real proportions of the face will be maintained. In the second case, you will look a little slimmer, and the eyes will become larger and more expressive.

When we are sitting or standing we do not value our body and look very unnatural, as if the photo were for a document. As we are almost always in motion, in photos like this we seem frozen, artificial. To prevent this from happening, remember to strike a natural and relaxed pose, always turning a little towards the camera to emphasize the lines of your figure.

This detail is a continuation of the previous tip. For the full body shots, it’s worth looking at the pose celebrities use when posing for the press on the red carpet. The chin slightly lifted, the hips slightly tilted to one side, a hand on the waist to give movement and enhance the silhouette and, obviously, maintain the pose of a queen. Tips to look perfect in the full body photo.

Hands along the body, behind the back or resting on the knees (in a seated photo) add nothing to the image. Even bent elbows like in the image above look much better than a fixed pose like a soldier. It’s best to hold some object, like a glass (if you’re in a restaurant). If you want, hug someone. Remember that the most important spice for a good photo is naturalness.

There is another trick among celebrities that is worthy of an extra topic. It is likely that you have already seen a photo in magazines in which one hand touches the elbow of the other arm, which is bent, relaxed. This is a studio session classic, but it works in real life too. If you want to make it even better, just touch or curl your hair, the position is real, discreet, relaxed and beautiful.

Almost everyone’s desire is to look slimmer when taking a selfie, with emphasis on the cheeks and jaw line. For this, many techniques are created, from the contouring even the use of good old Photoshop. However, if you haven’t mastered any of these arts, there is a simpler way: just touch your tongue to the roof of your mouth, automatically toning your neck and slimming your face line. Try this in the mirror to see if it works.

The American model Tyra Banks is queen of this aspect, but other celebrities also do it very well both in home sessions and in the studio. Thanks to this technique, even the most inexpressive photo acquires a touch of sympathy or even mystery. This trick is ideal for people who don’t like showing their teeth or don’t like their own smile. The main thing is not to overdo it so that the eyes are not too tight.
