It might seem a bit vain, but the selfie is now as ubiquitous as cute cat pictures on the internet Of course most of us want to look our best when we're snapping selfies for social media, which is why I’ve put together this list of tips to help you gain your selfie respect.
Take Good Care of Your Lips and Teeth
The first, and most obvious thing to do is you want to look good in your selfies is to look after your lips and teeth. Brush at least twice daily, and floss too. Protect and moisturize your lips with petroleum jelly or your favorite lip treatment to keep them from cracking. Try looking into invisible orthodontist treatments if you aren’t happy with the way your teeth look. Whitening treatments and whitening toothpastes are another way to amp up your smile and improve your selfie game.
Inspect Yourself
Before you get anywhere near a cell phone or camera, pull out your pocket mirror and check that your lipstick isn’t smudged or your eyeliner isn’t wonky. It’ll take seconds, but it’ll ensure that you look your very best in every pic.

Invest in an inexpensive selfie ring light to create the glow you're looking for.
