If you follow my Instagram account (@augustskin), you know that I take my fair share of selfies. I do this mostly to show my blushes, highlighters, and liners in action (and partly for incredibly vain and narcissistic reasons–let’s not judge here). For some, taking a decent photo comes as second nature. But for those of us not named Naomi, Kate, or Christy, a spot in front of the camera takes a bit of preparation.

I’ve shared a few tips with Shape to help you put your best face forward (literally). Jump over to their site to see what I (and 21 others) had to say.
