Selfieseasy
Chin down, eyes up
A small chin drop plus eyes toward the lens. Sharpens the jaw without looking intense.

- dating apps
- close-ups
Steps
Sit or stand with a straight spine; roll shoulders back once.
Lower the chin a few millimeters — think “proud, not tucked.”
Keep the eyes on the lens, not the preview of your face.
Part the lips slightly if a closed smile looks forced.
Pro tips
- If the double-chin appears, lift the camera, not just the chin.
- A slight squint (think “sun in your eyes”) reads as confident.
Common mistakes
- Tucking the chin into the neck — that shortens the face.
- Raising the eyebrows so high the forehead wrinkles dominate.
Lighting
Even window light from 45 degrees. Turn until both eyes have a catchlight.
