Selfies may not have been a thing in the '60s, but Holly Golightly got it right when she said, "There are certain shades of limelight that can wreck a girl's complexion." Don't undo all of your hard work by taking your picture in poor lighting. Soft, natural light is best. To ensure you always have prime lighting at your fingertips (literally), try a Lumee Case, which provides studio-like lighting, even if you're in the back of an Uber.

The angle of your selfie is also important. Hold your phone slightly above your head and away from yourself, tilting downward. Breathe in, and on the exhale, snap your picture to avoid wobbliness. Avoid reversing the camera on your phone to take the picture because it lowers the quality and changes the angle.

If you don't like your first attempt, don't sweat it. Even expert celeb selfie-takers like Kylie Jenner take more than one picture before getting a selfie worthy of 1,000 likes.
