When it comes to taking great selfies, Kim Kardashian deserves plenty of credit. Just take a quick look at her Instagram feed and you’ll see why so many people are keen on learning her secrets.
What does it take to get that perfect selfie? Whether she’s posing by herself at home or taking selfies with fans, Kardashian always looks picture perfect. While it’s obvious that her beauty plays a big part in it, there are also things you can do to achieve the same. Curious? Well, don’t fret because she is sharing her secrets. Here is Kim Kardashian’s guide on how to take a selfie.
Always Find The Right Lighting
Here’s something you won’t learn in online classes. You already know that fluorescent lights are a no-no and that taking photos during the golden hour, that last light before sunset, will make anything look good. However, did you know that there’s a simple trick to counteracting unflattering lighting? Hold a white sheet of paper or napkin near your face before you take that selfie! It will neutralize the flash and make your skin look much better.
Point Your Chin Down and Raise the Camera Up
How do you take your selfies? Are you the type to take it up close or perhaps, from below? Well, that’s your first mistake. This next tip from Kardashian is very useful and is also very flattering for just about anyone. What this does is make sure that your features appear streamlined. It will also help you look a degree slimmer! You might want to experiment with which side you look best and how far you should hold the camera away from your head.
Try a Subtle Duckface
Sure, some people do make fun of this pose, but it can be very flattering if done right. Kardashian says that this will make your cheekbones a bit more prominent and also makes your face less round. Now, the keyword here is “subtlety.”You wouldn’t want to look like an actual duck, right? To avoid this, you can take a page from the Olsen handbook and whisper the word “prune” when you’re doing it! If you aren’t happy with the first few shots, just keep practicing. Think of it as investments in much better selfies going forward.
Don’t be Afraid of Editing Apps
Now, editing apps can only do so much, so everything starts with getting the right selfie. Once you have it, the apps will help you enhance all your best features. Kardashian makes use of Perfect 365, which will allow you to fix your complexion, add a bit more color to your make-up, clear any blemishes, and even give you fuller lashes. Much like the Duckface, one of the key things to remember when using this is subtlety. You can easily look like a mannequin if you overdo it. Imagine getting a full makeover without needing loans to do it!
Get a Digital Camera
One of her biggest secrets is that she uses a digital camera instead of her phone when it comes to taking selfies. The thing is, mobile phone cameras can distort images and give you unflattering photos. A camera, however, has less of these distortions and is capable of capturing your image in the most realistic way. Kardashian says that it makes her photos so flawless. The camera she uses has been discontinued, so you will need to hunt for one that suits your needs the most. Just practice a bit of money management, and we’re sure you’ll be able to afford one of the popular selfie cameras currently available.
