How to Look Good

And now the part we’ve all been waiting for- how to look good in front of the camera.  Who doesn’t want that?!

41.  For a slimmer appearing waistline, hp suggests angling your body towards the camera instead of facing it square on.

42. If you put weight on your back leg, you’ll feel more comfortables and look natural instead of awkward according to Photography Awesomesauce.

43.  To look thinner, leave space between your arms and your body to show your waistline.

44.  Remember to push your shoulders back and don’t slouch.  (After 10 shots we usually forget to sit or stand straight)

45.  Avoid looking down to prevent a double chin says Cosmopolitan.

46.  Ask your photographer to shoot straight on or from above.  They are much more flattering angles than from below.

47.  To avoid the totem pole look, bend whatever can bend.

48.  Don’t leave your arms hanging straight down. Try  touching the person next to you or resting your hand on a nearby object.

49.  Try look places other than directly at the camera for a more natural look.  Maybe look off to the side or past the photographer into the distance.

50.  Schedule your shoot at the “golden hour” near sunrise and sunset.

51.  If you’re worried about wrinkles, shoot with the light in front of you. (Side lightening emphasizes wrinkles according to Stylist.)

52.  Blissfully Domestic says you can minimize a big nose by tilting your head just slightly upward.

53.  Self-conscious of big ears?  Blissfully Domestic has a solution for that too!  Position yourself at an angle so only one ear is showing.

54.  To avoid shine, use LOTS of powder on your face and neck.

55.  For small eyes, false eye lashes can be a life saver!  (Check Kiirsten’s post for a fabulous How-To)

56.  Check your makeup with a camera, not a mirror.  Remember, you need to apply more than usual for it to show in pictures!  (Check Tara’s post for your guide to a flawless face)
