Selfies are the new level of self-obsession. Whether we accept or deny it, we all know that secretly we have taken selfies every now & then. It’s a new found love for yourself, isn’t it?

#SELFIE

6 ways to perfect your Selfie:

Lighting

Lighting is everything. Make sure that you’re near the window or in an open area when you’re clicking a Selfie. Face the sun if you want to look bright & fresh but remember that harsh lights might ruin the photo. The sunlight is perfect between 7.00 AM to 11.00 AM OR 4.30 PM to 6.00 PM. Make sure that the light is diffused. When you’re outside, stand under a roof so the light isn’t harsh. If you want that dreamy angelic effect, stand against the sun.

Angle

Do you know your best angle? Which angle is the most flattering? Stand in front of the mirror and practice your angles. Found your best angle yet? Practice using your phone. Angles make a huge difference in photos and we’re sure this will be life changing *wink*

Filter it out (Instagram)

If you’re obsessed with Instagram, you might already be aware of the best Selfie filter. Any guesses?

Valencia is one of the best filters on Instagram for selfies as it gives you a flawless complexion.

Makeup

3 Important things you will need for a perfect selfie:

Concealer, eyeliner or bright lipstick

Concealer is important so that you can cover the darkness under your eyes (which is very evident in photos) and also the redness around your nose. If you don’t want to get into eye makeup, choose a bright lipstick or vice versa. It’s about making one element of your face stand out.

App Obsession

Other than the usual Instagram filters, there are a number of photo editing apps. Here are some we liked:
