5 products you need for your most beloved selfie

Let's face it, taking the perfect selfie is essentially an art. A lot has to be in your favor for everything to go smoothly. The camera angle needs to be right to accentuate your features (hey, we contoured for a reason), the lighting needs to be at the optimal level (too bright and you'll look ghostly, too dark and you can't gosh), your hair should be styled (see you fly away!), and last but not least, your skin should look #flawless. So yes, it can be tedious. But the result is always worth the extra work, because the better the photo, the more likes it will get on social networks. And if your motto is similar to ours “when in doubt, do it for likes”, you will understand why it is so important to master such a selfie.

Now, unless you wake up looking flawless (we're jealous!), it's safe to assume that most selfies aren't taken without prior preparation. So, in honor of most girls' favorite pastime, we're sharing the products you need to make your skin look double-tap worthy below. Want to get your favorite selfie? Keep reading. 

CLEANER

Your skin can't and won't look its best if it's bogged down in deposits - plain and simple. Before taking a selfie, give your face a good massage with your favorite cleanser to deep cleanse your pores. If you are short on time, please contact Micellar water La Roche-Posay. The mild formula cleanses, tones and removes make-up in one quick and easy motion - no need to rub in hard. It's also great for on-the-go use because you don't have to rinse! 

MOISTURIZING 

After cleansing, you should rehydrate your skin with a moisturizer. If you're going out, apply a moisturizer with SPF to protect your skin from UV damage. If wrinkles bother you, try an anti-aging moisturizer. The sky is the limit! Use the facial massage technique to apply moisturizer - this is the secret of the best makeup artists who do makeup for fashion shows and photo shoots! By this step, your skin should be clean, soft and nourished, with a slight sheen. 

CONCEALER

It's fair to say that blemishes, dark spots, and dark circles have nothing to do with your selfie. But since none of them can disappear with a snap of your fingers, a concealer is your best bet for instant coverage. In difficult times, we turn to Maybelline Super Stay Better Skin Concealer + Concealer. It helps to visibly reduce the appearance of problem areas and imperfections while leaving skin looking its best in as little as three weeks.

ABOVE 

There's really no point in doing a duck face if you don't show off your perfectly defined cheekbones, right? Apply NYX Professional Makeup Born to Glow Liquid Illuminator on high points of the face for a natural glow from within that shines as brightly as a camera flash. 

POMADE

Whether you're doing face kissing or not, you want your lips to look just right. After applying lip balm, swipe a few strokes Yves Saint Laurent Beauty Vinyl Cream Lip Stain on your lips. The creamy formula, available in 10 eye-catching shades, will add just the right amount of wow factor to your look.

And voila - you're ready for the close-up. Say cheese!
