Wetting your teeth before your smile is a simple and efficient trick. It makes your smile look bright and shiny. Just roll your tongue over your teeth before you smile for the camera. This will prevent your smile from looking dull and 'pop' your smile on the picture.
This seems obvious but you will be shocked by how many people smile like this. When you smile, if your top and bottom teeth touch each other, then it makes your neck muscle tense. It looks unflattering. Keep a small space between your two rows of teeth for a softer, natural look.
Have you ever found yourself smiling while thinking about a good day? Yes, that is what you need to do. We often find ourselves in situations when we have to force a smile when we don’t want to. Be positive and remember a good old day that might spread a smile across your face.
If the camera angle is below the eye level, then it creates an unflattering image. It enhances your double chin and distorts natural facial features. So, keep your head high and your camera angles higher!
When taking a photo, ask the photographer to tell you a joke. You can also read yourself a random joke or a meme from the internet. Look at someone that might make you smile, such as your partner or a goofy friend. It won’t be too hard to smile unless you are having a very bad day.
Take a walk or close your eyes to relax, listen to music, or have something to eat to bring up your mood. Tell your friend that you are feeling down, and they can definitely find a way to lift your spirits.
For a natural smile don’t say cheese when taking photos or force a smile when meeting someone. A neutral face is better than a fake smile.
Ease your face and take a deep breath. If you want to smile, it should be a natural reflex to smile. A forced smile will not appear natural. Try doing things that make you smile. Hear a joke or tell someone a joke, and you will probably end up laughing at your own joke.
