You're Not Using a Filter

You're Not Using a Filter There's nothing wrong with using a filter to make yourself look as pretty as possible. Even celebs do it. You should, too.

You're Using Too Many Filters

screenshot, audience, singing, HEin, ncomese, You don't want to buy apps that allow you to alter your face. You don't need to be photoshopped. If you play around with your image too much, you'll end up looking fake.

Powder

sense, No one likes looking at a selfie to see they're a shiny/sweaty hot mess. Using powder in your T-Zone will help take the shine out of your face helping you look your best.

Not Checking the Reflection

human action, person, hairstyle, eating, sense, We've all seen the pictures of the hazards of not checking our backdrop before taking a selfie. Make sure you check yours because there just might be something there to ruin the entire pic.

10

The Right LIght

dance, carnival, festival, Playing up natural lighting can be hugely in your favor. It's easy to use the sun or even window light to brighten your frame without the harshness of bulb lighting. And remember... 1-2 hours before sunset is the golden hour where natural light will be at it's best!
