Can you rock a high-wattage glow in your photos without looking like a strobe light? Yes, you can -- it just takes a delicate touch.

"Apply your highlight to the brow bone, top of the cheek bone, down the nose and the cupid's bow," VanLeeuwen says. "And absolutely avoid places like the forehead, sides of the nose and the chin." You can pick up the Milani Spotlight Face & Eye Strobe Palette, $13, for an angelic glow, or add the Too Faced Love Light Prismatic Highlighter, $30, to your Sephora shopping cart, for a romantic eye-catching shine. Pro tip: If you really want to work glowing skin, apply highlighter after primer and before foundation, so that the highlighter peeks through for a lit-from-within look.

Some people's brows get lost in pictures -- even if they don't seem thin in real life. And because brows frame the face (just ask any makeup artist), you don't want to neglect them.

Start by filling in your eyebrows and make your strokes as fine and as hair-like as possible, so as not to look blocky on camera. You can use Benefit Precisely My Brow Pencil, $24, if you need a little help creating your false hairs, as its fine-tip point allows for precision, while providing bold, natural color. Then pair it with a brow gel likeMaybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Eyebrow Gel, $7.99, to fill in sparse areas and achieve arches that would make Cara Delevingne proud.

To enhance the natural curve and shape of the eye, "tight-lining" is essential, according to Reneau. "This is the technique of drawing eyeliner inside the upper lash line," Reneau explains. "This works for all eye shapes and makes your lashes look thicker." When working in the waterline, be sure to grab a waterproof eyeliner, so you're not touching up every couple hours (try Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner, $25) and use individual false lashes rather than strips, for a natural-looking eye.

To really make the eyes pop in your selfies, use your mascara as a second liner. "Wiggle the mascara at the base of your lashes, and deposit a little bit of color right at the skin and then brush through," VanLeeuwen says. "This joins the lashes to the liner and gives excellent definition on camera." And while you can get a little wild with the mascara, your shadow should be uniform. "Nothing is more distracting in a photo than uneven or messy eye makeup," VanLeeuwen says. "It sends the signal you don't care."

Start by applying an eye shadow primer to smooth out fine lines and prevent shadow from transferring, especially if you have oily lids (VanLeeuwen uses the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion, $20, on his celebrity clients). Then, reach for matte shades. "These look more natural and beautiful on camera," Reneau explains. "Shimmer shades can cause flashback or weird highlights in photos."

Once you've finished your makeup, eliminate the excess shine that's all too common for oily skin with a finishing powder. To avoid the "ghostly" effect that even celebs like Angelina Jolie have suffered in the past, lightly dust a translucent powder like Marc Jacobs Perfection Powder Featherweight Finish, $48, or Becca Soft Light Blurring Powder, $38, on your T-zone.

You also may want to consider applying powder before your foundation if you have very textured skin. (Yes, you read that right). Reneau says she'll sometimes apply powder over trouble spots prior to foundation to create a smooth base without adding any weight.

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.
