June 21st is National Selfie Day! Everybody takes them, so let's learn how to make them picture perfect.
Here are five tips for taking the perfect selfie:
1) It is all about lighting. Stand in front of a window or a lamp. The lighting will make your face brighter, add gloss to your eyes, reduce the appearance of blemishes and make your teeth brighter.
2) Use your best angle. Not everyone has the same angle that works best for their face, but many people like to tilt their head to the side a little, which helps accentuate the jaw-line and cheek bones.
3) The infamous "duck-face" can be used to your advantage. Doing the "duck face" may seem silly for some people, but for others it is a great way of showing off cheek-bones or those luscious lips.
4) Do more than one take. Your probably won't get the selfie you want in the first photo. Take a couple, changing up the angles slightly and choose the best one.
5) Filters can make a boring picture fun! You can add a filter to your selfie from the edit feature in your camera-roll or through any photo editing app.
