Are you a #selfie taker? Fellow CA staff member Miranda is a selfie addict. I just caught her taking one as we got into the elevator on our way to lunch, just sayin'. I myself, am not a huge fan of selfies. They make me self conscious and usually I end up the one behind the lens instead. Of course, we're all our own worst critic. How many times have you snapped a selfie, checked it out and deleted immediately because you didn't like your smile/hair/eyes? 

Well, it's time to start the #selfierevolution. We're here to help you get the perfect selfie that you'll be proud to share. It's about enhancing your features and a few tips and tricks that will bring your sparkling personality to the front. 


Using flash? Oil can reflect light and make you look way too shiny and greasy. Use a mattifying powder or a setting spray to set makeup and keep oil at bay.

Find your shade: this goes for all non-selfie related activities as well, but it's important to find the correct shade for your foundation or concealer. A "mask" of foundation becomes even more obvious in a photo and ladies, filters don't hide everything. Take it from someone who knows.

ANGLES MATTER. O.M.G. Do they ever. Just watch this video. Here's a quickie checklist for your selfie:
