No matter the occasion, it’s become universally appropriate to whip out a phone just about anywhere and snap selfies to capture the moment. Here are 13 tips for getting really awesome selfies, illustrated by the celebs who do it the best! Stand a few feet away from your window or light source — right where you can catch a good ray of light without it beaming directly on you. Stand facing the light and hold your phone up so the light is hitting your face, but not beaming like crazy into the camera. Another way to prevent a too-bright light is to find a window covered by a sheer curtain or blinds. The Impressions Vanity phone ring light has three light settings. Then you just have to get in the habit of popping into that pose when it’s selfie time. Lock down at least three different angles you love so not all your selfies look alike. People don’t care to see the same duck lips selfie up and down their feed. Show off your selfie when you’re wearing something cool, just switched your hair up, or wore a new lip color. The coolest selfies are the ones where you look like you’re having fun, living life, and showing who you are.
