Many people refuse to have their picture taken because they dont like the way they look in pictures. Most of us remember a time when we saw a picture of ourselves and wished we looked better. Photographers， fashion designers， make-up artists and models all know the tricks of the trade. Not everyone has that luxury， so weve got some handy tips to help you look your best in every photo.

First of all， put your best face forward. Take time to practise nice facial expressions before you go to the photo shoot. This is not only good for your photos， but will also boost your self-confidence. Make sure you show up with clean hair and your make-up done the way you like it. Never try new ways of applying make-up on the day of a photo shoot， unless a professional is hired to do it.

Besides， its all in the pose. Most people have a “good side” and a “bad side”. If you havent noticed this， youre lucky. However， by taking a close look at yourself in the mirror， you will probably discover that one side looks better. Maybe its a scar on your face or the way your hair falls. When you learn which side looks better， you can turn yourself so that side is facing the camera.

Finally， relax. The more relaxed you feel， the more likely you are to look natural and have a big， bright smile. People look their best in pictures when they are comfortable in front of the camera.
