Focus on your best feature, do you have full lips? Smear on that ruby red lipstick. Are you a doe eyed jane? Then play up those eyes please!! Are you an amazon princess with your killer cheekbones, then use that highlighter and play up that bone structure baby!
Hold your phone above you, above always looks better, you look younger and your eyes look bigger.
Work those eyes, same as a good portrait photography, there are pictures that are just ok and then there are the BAM portraits. Note the BAM portrait has something going on with the eyes, you can feel some sort of emotion, it’s mysterious, it’s a genuine laugh, it’s sullen… it’s so subtle but so obvious when you see it. Feel it! Genuinely laugh, or think longing deep thoughts… it will show trust me.
Or if all else fails, just hold something interesting, that always works!
