8 simple steps to take the perfect selfie on Instagram (without using filters)

Thanks to these few tips, you will take the perfect photo that will attract many followers to your profile.

Every face is different, but practically every selfie will come out much better if you slightly push your chin forward and tilt or tilt your head. This will make your face look much better in the photo, regardless of its shape. Pay attention to photos of Instagram stars, they all take photos with a slight tilt or tilt of the head.

Whether you have makeup on or not, photos taken in natural daylight will look much better than those taken in artificial light or with a flash. Artificial light emphasizes any imperfections and simply makes the face look worse. The best light is the light that does not fall directly on you from the window, but is slightly away from it. See for yourself what the difference is.

In the morning, your face is well cleansed, and makeup is just applied. Your hair is freshly washed and styled. It's the perfect time to take pictures. You will look radiant and fresh. It's worth reaching for the phone then, you will surely be satisfied with the results.

Slightly raise your eyebrows, if you have full lips, gently spread them (but not in a vulgar way), if they are small, try to enlarge them by proper arrangement. Remember to smile slightly, but never make a duck face!

Hold the phone as high as your hand allows. Such a photo angle will make you look slimmer, thinner. The photo will be softer and more natural. Notice that at this angle the face looks much smoother and more aesthetic.

Remember to take care of the background regardless of whether you are taking a photo of the whole silhouette or just the face. There is nothing worse than a photo with a beautiful looking girl and clutter in the background.

If you find a filter that perfectly emphasizes your beauty, try to use it for every photo. This will ensure consistency on your profile. The biggest Instagram stars use this trick.

If you don't feel confident in front of the lens, or want to take a makeup-free photo, wear glasses. Both sunglasses and corrective or zero glasses will make you look good. You no longer have to take 400 photos to choose one, wearing glasses always makes a good photo.
