The Current’s Selfie Guide

We all love taking selfies, don’t we? But your once-in-a-lifetime farewell moment has to look super hot. When you’re all dolled up, making goodbye memories, master your selfie pose with The Current’s selfie guide.

SMILE:

Always tilt your head a little to the side. Practice in the mirror and figure out your best side. Everyone has one and we’ve actually had female politicians tell us not to photograph them from a certain angle. So trust us when we say, know your best angle and SMILE. Because you’ll look young and happy. Not too big though and try sticking your tongue lightly to the roof of your mouth. Gives your smile a little softness. REMEMBER: You want to be Deepika at her wedding, not Priyanka.

POUT:

If you’re going to pout, you better do it right. Otherwise your school title will be Duck Face and no one wants that. So to master the perfect pout, make sure you use lip liner when you put your lipstick on. It will define your lips and also give it a nice, rosy shape. For a natural pout, you need to put slight pressure on the edges of your nose. Push your nose down slightly, tilt your head to a side angle, and do a small pout. That’s the only way to go.

THE CAMERA:

Can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Invest in a phone with a good camera (preferably ones with a portrait mode since they look soo professional). But if your phone sucks, you can get a good selfie out of it. How? Always take your selfie from a higher angle than your face. It makes you look thinner than if you do at eye level or below. And if you’re taking a selfie with friends, DO NOT EVER take the selfie yourself. The person taking selfie will always look the worst so its better them than you.
