hello gorgeous welcome back to my channel I wrote a blog post a couple
years ago when I was living in Vancouver about how to look good in photos how to
you know put your best self forward and I thought that's a really fun thing to
talk about on YouTube but I do a lot of beauty so I thought how to look good no
no let's say this I look pretty in photos but fast so how to instantly look
pretty in photos and this is one of those videos that I feel like everybody
could use cuz there's gonna be something in it for everybody so let's do this
this is my eleven best tips number one is good posture and it's something that
I have struggled with my entire life I remember sitting at the dinner table and
my dad with Hank sit up straight and as I have been working out these last few
months that's something I've really worked on
and so the tip that my trainer has given me is to take the back of your bra strap
and push it forward and bring your shoulders back and that will instantly
give you better posture good posture looks so much better in photos and if
you don't believe me go look at yourself in the mirror well get yourself slumped
down over like where you naturally want to sit or stand like this and then
immediately give yourself immediately but give yourself better posture look at
yourself in the mirror and you look more confident you look better dare I say
sexier I said it I dared but I'm telling you good posture goes a long way okay
tip number two is eyes but it's not just eyes as having bright eyes this is one
of those tips that I feel like if you're going to go get pictures done
professionally say for your senior photos or your wedding photos engagement
photos maternity whatever whatever it is and you're gonna have close-ups take
eyedrops with you just in case because if your eyes are red at all
when you put eyedrops in it will brighten your eyes they'll look whiter
and the your actual eye color itself will pop makes such a difference tip
number three is about skin specifically
ladies when you remove your facial hair your makeup lays so much prettier but
when you remove your facial hair you're also doing what your exfoliating so if
you haven't seen it I have a video all about how I shaved my face
recently I've been using another product this isn't sponsored it's just something
that I was set and I've been using it some contour and I add I put the tip on
this and then I just shave off my my facial hair it's amazing don't need this
if you don't want it you can easily go get the little shavers like I use in my
video from Walgreens or Target or wherever but when you shave that peach
fuzz off your makeup looks so much nicer it gives a smooth canvas for smooth
application and it takes off the extra layer of dead skin tip number 4 we're
going back to the eyes but this time we're talking about the lashes I'm
telling you the focus when you look at photos by myself my eye is immediately
drawn to somebody's eyes and when a girl has beautiful lashes it takes the cake
for me so focus on your lashes if you have it in your budget consider
extensions I love extensions so much and I don't love them I love them or false
lashes I love both lashes I do them in so many videos so if you want to know
how to do them I have a million videos that I've done not really a million but
you know what I mean my favorite brands are all my favorite brand is Salon
perfect I get them at Walmart love their lashes 6 14 6 15 or do individuals if
you don't have a study enough hand to do a full lash band do individuals they go
a long way you can double them up you can make them as thick as you want or go
the route that I'm doing right now which is lash serum make sure lashes grow I'm
using Grand lash MD and I love how long my lashes have gotten number 5 we're
talking about the lips okay girls plump lips they look nice right so you could
do a couple of things to have a plump plumper pout for that's hard to say say
that five times fast plumper pout
crowd anyways you can do a couple of things to make your lips look fuller
prettier for pictures number one is you can buy a product that plumps lips
there's tons of lip glosses out there that you can get better that are
plumping my favorite is to over line your lip is to use a nude liner and just
draw a little bit outside of your natural lip line to make your lips look
a little bit fuller and then I like to use a nude lip color and then apply just
a tiny bit of gloss right and then do you see how the lit the light is
grabbing the middle of my lips cuz I have a gloss on it immediately makes my
lips look fuller also you want to add highlight to your Cupid's bow and a
little bit of contour right here under there and that immediately it just
changes your mouth and makes your lips look fuller
number six we're talking about the legs if you are taking photos that include
your full body wear nude heels nude heels create the illusion of longer legs
they elongate your legs especially if you're wearing a dress or skirt number
seven wear solid colors first of all find colors that enhance your skin tone
compliment your skin tone look good on your skin tone for me
I know yellows make me look like I have jaundice so why would I wear yellow
another color looks terrible on me red it looks good eyes shadow outfit not so
much but what colors I know look good I mean like cobalt blue that's a color
that I'm gonna pick if I'm gonna do pictures probably have seen a lot of
cool bleep on me because I know that it looks good but stay away from wild
prints stay away from trendy things because you are taking a picture and you
want to look back years to come and you don't want to think why in the world did
I wear that you know so pick something that's gonna stay in style for a long
time this tip number eight is about the chin
this is specifically about posing okay you can pose two different ways with
your chin and you're gonna get two different results and it depends on the
shape of your face if you want to hide the appearance of a double chin you do
not want to pose like this chin dub you want to instead elongate
your neck because that will help hide the double chin so when you're posing
elongate your neck in a natural way not though you look like this but just help
you know yourself along a little bit push your chin out a little bit and will
help to hold those muscles tighter now if you do not have an issue with a
double chin and you want to have like more of a sultry sexy look then what you
want to do is pose with your chin down when you're looking and smiling because
that will help tip number nine is take practice photos you can do this for two
wait two reasons one is makeup two is outfit if you have somebody who can snap
some photos for you so for instance if you're gonna take photos outdoors go the
day before or whatever around the time of day that you're going to be taking
pictures if you're taking pictures at Golden Hour then go out gold an hour in
your outfit and your makeup a couple days before snap some photos so that you
can make sure you like the way that you look if you don't have somebody else to
help you then at least snap photos of yourself some selfies in that light or
in the mirror or something because you the worst thing is that when you air
photos back and you hate the way that you look you want to make sure they
comfortable with the way your makeup looks and your outfit looks okay number
10 this one doesn't apply to me because I've never figured it out but it's
something that I have heard in every single blogger event or blogger photo
that I've been do and it's finding your good side I have been to so many blogger
events that I've been taking pictures with my friends and I'm like wait a
minute I want to be on this side this is my good side I'm like how do you know
what side is your cousin but apparently people do have a good diet so if you can
find your good side and know how to use that to your advantage for photos tip
number eleven and this is our last one and this one is all about the mental
state think good thoughts if you want to look good think sexy thoughts if you
want to look sexy whatever it is that you want to look think it if you want to
look happy think happy thoughts but you have to feel it so that it actually
comes across on the camera if you're in a bad mood and then you're smiling guess
what it's not gonna look organic it's not gonna look like you're having a good
time and you're not gonna look like you're even wanting to be there so think
