Summer in Australia means Instagram feeds are filled with what everyone ate for breakfast, girls in bikinis, a lot of new years resolution quotes but most importantly selfies. To make sure your selfie is reaching its full potential, here are 5 secrets to selfie success.
1Squinching
You’ll often come across photos of Cara Delevigne tightening her lower eyelids, and letting the top ones come down just a fraction. This is very effective in making you look less awkward when you probably do look a little awkward.
2Close and Open Eyes
Close your eyes and open them slowly while smiling. There’s nothing worse than a forced smile so this will make it seem a lot more natural.
3Tongue Trick
When smiling without your teeth, place your tongue on the roof of your mouth so your face muscles tighten.
4Tilted Head
If you tilt your head on an angle it will highlight your cheekbones and make your eyes seem bigger
5Golden Hour
When the sun is setting the light is warm and mellow and is the perfect time to snap a selfie. Use this to your advantage by having it shine onto you. Any earlier and the sun is too harsh and any later you’ll disappear into the darkness.
