Whether you enjoy taking selfies, or you're going to a special
event where you know there's going to be lots of Instagramming, it
doesn't hurt to know a few beauty tricks to look more photogenic in
today's snap-and-share society. Here's what you can do to get ready
for your next close-up:
Your skin is the first thing people notice in a picture, so ensure
a flawless look by wearing foundation (avoid formulas that are too
dewy, which can look greasy in photos) and camouflaging undereye
circles and blotchy skin with a concealer. Set with a dust of face
powder on your T-zone. Try Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish
Powder,
which has earned raves for its finely-milled texture that softens
imperfections and gives skin a "Photoshopped
look".
It's one of the most underrated look-great-in-photos tricks. Just
filling in your arches with a pencil or powder will open up your
eyes and frame your face. For the most natural look, pick a color
that's one shade lighter than your brows.
To make your features pop in photos, use a matte bronzer to add
dimension. With a blush brush, sweep the formula under your
cheekbones and along the temples and jawline to give your face a
sculpted look.
Ensure your lips are hydrated before taking a picture, because you
don't want your end result to look dry and flaky. Moisturized
kissers always look more youthful, so keep a tinted lip balm, gloss
or moisturizing lipstick on hand and slick it on for that luscious
look.
When you're taking a selfie, keep your camera slightly elevated
around forehead level and tilt it downward -- this will give you
the best angle. Avoid taking shots from below eye level, which is
the least flattering.
Instead of facing the camera straight on, try this super-flattering
pose: Turn your body slightly to one side with one foot behind the
other. This gives your body a more relaxed shape plus you'll
instantly look slimmer in photos.
