Top 3 Selfie Tips: How To Take The Perfect Selfie

It takes more than a few tries (give or take a thousand) to take the perfect selfie. From finding a filter to perfecting your pose and crafting a caption, getting it right can be difficult at best. One way to up your selfie game is to nail a natural #nofilter glow - and Eminence Organics is here to help. Here are 3 tips for taking selfies and looking Instagram ready, 24/7.

1. SCORE SELFIE-READY SKIN

Reveal Your Radiance With The Mangosteen Lactic Collection Amp up your glow with Eminence Organics Mangosteen Lactic Collection. Featuring our proprietary Lactic Acid Complex, these skin care superstars use AHAs - or alpha hydroxy acids - to resurface, refine and illuminate skin. The result: An airbrushed finish fit for even the most high-definition camera.

Shrink Pores With The Raspberry Pore Refining Masque Large pores? Shrink and tighten them with Eminence Organics Raspberry Pore Refining Masque. Packed with natural astringents like raspberry, blueberry and blackberry, this face mask refines large pores for a picture perfect complexion, no matter how closely you zoom.

Infused with hibiscus, botanical peptides and an ice wine active, these Instant Lift fX treatments deliver dramatic results in minutes, minimizing the visible signs of aging for your best selfie skin.

2. STRIKE A POSE

Know your angles. Take a tip from the pros and channel your inner Kim Kardashian: Chin down, camera up and head slightly tilted. Dr. Anukka Lindell of Melbourne’s La Trobe University has it (literally) down to a science: “Adopting a 3/4 or 2/3 turn toward the camera is encouraged as it introduces more angles, highlights the cheekbones and makes the subject of the photo appear slimmer” (InStyle). And, favor your left side. Featured in artistic masterpieces like the Mona Lisa and Girl With A Pearl Earring, faces angled to the left are perceived as more expressive and inviting.

3. KEEP IT NATURAL

It should come as no surprise that we like to keep things natural at Eminence Organics. Highlight your skin with natural lighting that brightens the face and minimizes shadows. The best time to shoot a selfie? Golden hour: The glorious time during sunrise and sunset when the light is low and soft, giving you a lit-from-within glow.

Always use a light touch when editing. Filters should highlight your natural beauty - not distort it. Keep your photo editing apps to a minimum and refrain from using filters at max capacity. Instead, opt for subtle edits that add a little extra sparkle to that already gorgeous selfie.
