Girl Diaries Entry 2: How To Take The Perfect Selfie

Whaddup people,
        The Mumbai Girls are back with yet another post. Selfies are girls' favorite kind of pictures but all selfies aren't good. What is it that makes a perfect selfie? If you haven't already figured out how to take a perfect selfie then the following steps will help you! Enjoy.

Step 1: The Preparation
You can't just pull out your phone and take a selfie. The preparation is important. Your clothes and most importantly your hair matters. So get ready. What you can do is do your hair, wear your favorite clothes and add some accessories and you are good to go.

Step 2: Finding The Light
For a selfie, the lighting is very important and it makes all the difference. If you are facing the light it gives you a cute look (not too much light) and if you have your back to the light it gives you a pretty look. It all depends on what kind of picture you want. Try out all the different places of light sources in your house or wherever you are taking a selfie because the light is really really important.

Step 3: The Pose
Now before you take a selfie you need to decide which pose you are doing because there are so many out there. It can be the duck face, the pout, the surprised :0 face or maybe the cute look. Some people look good in a horizontal selfie and some in a vertical one. Find out what is your kind because nobody knows your face as much as you do. Experiment with the poses and see which pose makes you look the best. Take around 3 to 57 selfies to find out your kind.
Tip: Extend your phone and take it closer to you, it gives the illusion of bigger eyes and makes you look very cute.

Step 4: The Editing
So after you have taken 3 to 57 selfies work on your editing. Just basic filters. Selfies look the best in the basic filters. My personal favorite is the Valencia filter on Instagram and that is pretty much the only filter I use for my selfies. Try out different filters to see which one makes your selfie look good. There are apps which make your marks and zits go away to make your skin look flawless. Use your favorite photo editor but don't go too far.

Step 5: The Promotion and The Caption
Post your selfie on all your social media be it Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. Put an appropriate caption not a random yet philosophical irrelevant caption.

That's it for today's post. Hope you have fun taking selfies!
