The photo that I have attached to this chapter is a screenshot that I took from a blog a few minutes ago. The article explains that a female modal gave a few tips on selfies, and the screenshot is a before and after photo on a selfie.
It goes on to explain her first few tips, to take the photo downwards and to use natural light.
It's true, the after photo does look better, but that's about %20 due to the lighting. There are many things that she had in the after photo that wasn't included before. The list includes:
1. Her hair is thrown behind her, creating the illusion that her hair is long enough to settle in the back and not be short enough to come to the front again from over her shoulder. (Hair that long would have to come to the front from around the shoulder. Tell me if I need to explain further.)
2. She is smiling. Her smile is releasing tons of "happy hormones" that make her happy and likely more excited and/or confident to take the photo.
3. Her teeth are showing. Place your finger on the tip of your chin and then open your mouth widely to where you will show all your teeth as you would in your own photo. You will feel your finger move, that movement is your jaw opening (duh lol) and your face will have probably an inch added. Your face will be looking longer and less square shaped.
3. She is wearing lipstick. Not much to say about this, but it contributes to making her look different. Pretty color too.
4. The way her body is facing makes her shirt look a little lower.
5. Her hand is posed instead of resting at her side. I don't actually think it made her look to better since why would your hand be there...but whatever, people do crap like that.
I honestly think that this creates an unrealistic image for people who don't wear makeup. She didn't just change her pose and lighting and become a selfie goddess. She put makeup on, smiled, showed some chest (or had the camera focused more on it, either one).
I am a no makeup wearer so that is my true opinion. I will make the next chapter about why I don't wear makeup.
Darn it! I forgot to weed out the idiots. It's a crucial step, I can't believe I forgot. Here's my spill on the matter: Guys, I can put whatever I want in this book. It's my choice. (Though if anyone has some media stuff to complain about I will do a chapter and SO complain with you if I think it's Wattpad worthy haha) But if you don't like what I put in here, just gtfo. I don't need your approval and if what I type offends you, just leave. I am so tired of people getting so offended over everything. The world may be fair to you a miniscule amount in high achool but once you support yourself in the future and deal with the crap of stupid people, you don't feel the need to give a reaction to people who are mean to you. Your reaction and response is the deciding factor on whether or not the rude person will leave you alone. If you act all offended and knocked down, it will let the dumbass know that they got to you. So take a hit or learn to.
Alright, I am done. Thanks for reading, I trust I won't have to repeat that again.
Apologies for the seriousness, have a good read and hopefully get a feeling of relief knowing that you're not the only one who feels the same way about whatever I talk about in later chapters!
:D
