Look better in Your Christmas Party Pics

Found this list, tweaked it a bit. 1. Focus your eyes just slightly above the camera lens, move your face forward a bit, and tip down your chin. (some of us need to remember this last bit more then others.

2. Put your tongue behind your teeth and smile, which will relax your face.

3. Keep your arms by your side—but not glued there. To look natural, they should be a little away from your body.

4. Test-drive clothing against a white wall, with an indirect, natural light source (under a tree, indoors near a window)—it will show whether blue really is your best color.

5. Avoid the bold, Checks, stripes and colors can take away from your.

6. Easy Does it, so go easy on the makeup. For women under 30, a little mascara and lip gloss; over 30, add a touch of concealer.

7. Turn, baby turn. Turn your body three quarters of the way toward the camera, with one foot in front of the other and one shoulder closer to the photographer. When you face forward, your body tends to look wider.

8. Belly in, buttocks tight, shoulders back, spine straight.

9. Watch the pretty people. Look at your best angle. You’ll probably see that you were laughing or having a good time. Capturing someone when they’re relaxed or most animated usually makes for the best results.

10. Chill, try closing your eyes, then opening them slowly just before the photo is taken.
