With social media being so prevalent in
our lives, our photos are shared and seen all the time. The thing with the
internet is that they will always be there.
So we want to look good in our
photos, right? We’ve all switched on our camera
phone and turned on the selfie camera. The double chin look is not a
good look! So how can we make sure that we look good in photographs? One thing
to perfect is our smile. If we can have an award winning smile, it will make
such a difference to the photo. Here are a few tips to help you have a
photogenic smile.

One of the best ways is to be as natural
as you can. If you smile gently, your mouth opens slightly and it is a great
natural look. Unless you are genuinely laughing at something, you don’t want to
force a big wide grin. A big forced smile will cause you to squint a little. It
will also make your muscles tense, particularly in your neck. Not a good look
for photographs.
My second piece of advice would be to
wear lipstick. Choosing a
shade that suits you is so important. Your smile looks instantly
better if the lip colour is one that compliments your skin. Shades with
pink-undertones will help to hide the yellow stains in your teeth too. If you
choose a colour that is rather too dark for you, it can draw attention to your
lips in photographs. If you are doing this, you need to make sure that your
smile is on point as that is where people will be looking.
If you don’t like showing your teeth, you
could learn to perfect a closed mouth smile. You want it to make you look like
you’re smiling, rather than pouting. If it is a happy thing, you don’t want to
look like you’re not enjoying yourself. A solution to loving your teeth when you
smile is that you could consider dental treatment. Invisalign are
invisible braces. So they work to straighten your teeth, without taking you back
to the high school braces days. A lot of adults use them these
days.
A regular dental routine is a must for
good teeth, though. You should visit your dentist every six months as a rule. If
you have problems, then you should visit as and when they arrive. Brushing your
teeth twice a day, as well as flossing will help. Mouthwash is a great product
to use too. Your smile will look so much better if your teeth aren’t stained and
your gums aren’t swollen.
The final tip is to think about how you
are holding yourself. If you slouch, it can affect how your smile looks. If you
hunch over forward, it can affect how you look too. The best tip is to turn your
head slightly so that your face isn’t head on with the camera. Dropping your
chin slightly is a good option to make you look your best
too.
