How to prepare for a selfie?
Selfies are best taken in good lighting. Photos with cool, diffused light will look best. If the lighting is from behind, it is better to avoid taking selfies, as they will turn out dark.
Girls can use makeup. It’s better to focus on your own strengths- eyes, lips, cheekbones. To do this, you can line your eyes with black eyeliner to make them more expressive, or apply bright, fashionable lipstick to your lips. By the way, the camera loves a lot of highlighter, so you can safely apply it to your cheekbones to give them a healthy glow.
The background is an important component. No one will be interested in looking at selfies of girls against the backdrop of scattered laundry or clutter. Therefore, it is better to clean up your home or find a place with a neutral background. On the street you can find many beautiful and interesting places - architecture, parks, ponds.
If you have extra pounds and complexes about this, then it is better to take a selfie of your face or stand at an angle. If you hold the camera slightly above eye level, you can slightly lengthen your figure and even hide your double chin.

Seduction methods are becoming easier: instead of tapping a long message on your phone screen with your finger about how much you miss the person who excites you, you can simply take a photo of yourself in your underwear and send it all to him. And it will immediately become clear how much you miss him. For those who are just trying themselves in the genre of erotic selfies, but want to reach the “master” level, here is our life hack.
First, never forget about the most important thing - even the strongest relationships now are not immune from breaking up in the future. Therefore, there is no guarantee that photographs in which you smile enticingly with almost no clothes on will not become public knowledge. Moreover, if you send such photos to a person who has not yet been tested by time.
Therefore, if you decide on such methods of seduction, then remember the first rule - you need to photograph yourself so that there is no face in the frame. Then you won’t be ashamed to show it off, and you won’t be ashamed to part with it later.
Even if you have the latest iPhone model, and you are fluent in all the filters in editors, still, if the lighting is incorrect, instead of a pretty erotic image, you can end up with a very dull photo against the backdrop of a carpet, even if you don’t have a carpet. So approach this issue wisely. You can stand, for example, right next to the window so that the daylight falls directly on you - the necessary bulges, flooded with light, will visually appear even larger, and excess folds can be skillfully illuminated.
When you shoot yourself in beautiful lace, try not to make the pose look tense. Therefore, you should not bend too much and try to take an unnatural position. If you think it’s too pretentious, then try pretending that you are doing the most mundane things in your underwear. For example, lie on the couch and read a book.
This advice is more suitable for young people. After all, they don’t have beautiful lace lingerie, stockings and gently flowing long hair, like girls. There are not many seductive means in their arsenal. Therefore, our advice to you is to take a photo of yourself with a fluffy cat or other cute animal that you have. This will add more cuteness to the photo, and the girl will be delighted, if not by your abs, then at least by the cat’s pink nose.
This lifestyle, on the contrary, is relevant for girls. Of course, the way to a man's heart is not only through his stomach. But if you cook something tasty for your lover, take a photo of it all on your phone and send it with the words “borscht with donuts is ready”, while capturing your “dumplings”, believe me, your half will immediately cancel all the most important things and awaken an appetite , which you have to satisfy.
