Spring Break is full of photo opportunities! Times when you’ll head outdoors with your family and friends to celebrate the warming weather. Check out our top seven tips on how to capture the moment with the perfect selfie.
Before the cameras start flashing, start the day off right with the right beauty products! Use the ART® Skin Care System while getting ready to look your most radiant for all your outdoor activities and photos. Remember to add a bright lip color just before you get snapping.
The best selfies offer something for the audience. Give your viewers something to look at or something to laugh about. Bring some personality to your photo, but make sure to keep it natural—avoid fake smiles and staged poses. A picture is worth a thousand words, so make them count!
Lighting plays a key role in the outcome of a perfect photo, and selfies are no exception. Make sure to capture your selfie in well-lit areas with as much natural light as possible. Try to position yourself so that the light is in front of you to avoid shadows on the face.
Great selfies often feature a great backdrop that gives your audience the inside scoop on where you are and what you’re doing. Your viewers would much rather see a pretty background or a neutral wall instead of a bathroom toilet or a room full of laundry.
We all know that professional photographers take hundreds of photos only to narrow them down to a few golden shots, so why shouldn’t you? Just make sure you’ve got enough memory in your smartphone so you really get the one you want. Like other great photographers, remember to only share a few of your best shots—posting selfies sparingly will create the biggest impact.
The right photo-editing app can make a huge difference in how your final picture turns out. Don’t be afraid to apply a filter to your photo to make it more flattering! Instagram has the basics, but there are tons of other apps and tools out there that can help you get rid of the little blemish on your nose or even add a Cindy Crawford-esque mole.

I always say to smile like you're laughing! It makes my kids giggle & a better more natural picture.
Great advice! My tip is to try not to be too self-conscious for the best natural-looking selfies :)
I have been wanting to try the Art Skin Care System, and believe that using that system would be the very best thing I could do to improve my selfies! I mostly take selfies with my grandchildren and of course, my adorable grandchildren always look fabulous in the pictures! How wonderful it would be if I could show my sweet grandchildren a selfie of them, with me, and we all look great! Art Skin Care System, I need you for my selfies! Good luck, everyone!
Let the person with the longest arm be the one who holds the camera.
Great article! My tip, when trying to get kids in the picture take some goofy photos first!
Don't forget to smile and you can make funny faces too just for fun!

Great tutorial, can't wait to use these tips on my upcoming cruise to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. Up until now my best tip was to know how to delete all the bad pictures!
With an upcoming 40th Anniversary Cruise, this tutorial will be put to good use to help us capture our memories! I love the reminder about the angles - I typically discard most selfies because they are unflattering - now I know to try different angles.
