▲Before we get started, it's important to remember that being candid goes a long way. Don't be afraid to be silly!

▲Find the angle that suits you best. It takes practice so don't be shy—that's what our phone's ever-growing storage size is for.

▲If you like how your face looks but part of your hair looks messy or dull, crop it out!

▲Kardashian has also said that she loves the lighting in airplane bathrooms. Are you willing to give that a try?

▲Photography is the art of recording light, so you can't overestimate its importance.

▲Placing the camera slightly above eye-level softens the features and prevents the dreaded double chin.

▲Another good tip is to hold your phone up high and turn around in circles to test the lighting.

▲Try pressing your tongue to the roof of your mouth. That makes the cheekbones pop and tightens the muscles around the jawline.

▲Posing for a photo and pressing the button at the same time can be challenging. We might frown slightly and the photo might end up blurry. The three-second timer on our phone is perfect for selfies.

▲It's usually best to choose a simple, minimalist background for your selfie.

▲Because lighting is everything, it's crucial to avoid shadows. Make sure the source of light is in front of you when snapping that selfie.

▲You can bet your favorite celebs are using phone apps to embellish their selfies. Some popular ones include Perfect365 and TouchRetouch.

▲You don't always have to smile, but when in doubt, do. There's a reason why smiles are associated with positive emotions.

▲Group selfies can be unflattering for the taker.

▲If you don't want to go for a full smile, try smiling with your eyes, or "smizing," as Tyra Banks calls it.

▲Another trick is to place a piece of white paper somewhere underneath your face to help bring the light to your face.

▲Don't do a duck face. Instead, BuzzFeed's advice of softly saying "prune" before a selfie. Slightly pouting your lips can help highlight the cheekbones.

▲Our hair frames our face so make sure it has some volume.

▲

Everyone's face is slightly asymmetrical. This means we usually photograph differently depending on which side is exposed to the camera. Experiment until you find your "good" side.

▲Our faces tend to look fresher in the morning. Also, our hair and makeup are usually at their best before we get into our daily tasks.

▲We all have our good and bad days. If you're having a particularly good hair day, or if you're makeup is on point, take advantage of that when taking a selfie.

▲

We look our most attractive when we're enjoying ourselves. So have fun, regardless of your selfie-taking abilities.
