I honestly never understood the whole Instagram hype until I finally decided to set up an account. Now I find myself uploading pictures several times throughout the day and it seems to be becoming an addiction. But I have to admit, I still haven't been able to master the whole self-portrait thing.
I'm always so amazed at how insanely flawless some chicks manage to look in their selfies. It takes me like six or seven attempts before I finally have a picture I'm sort of satisfied with, and honestly who has time for that? So I decided to look to some of our gorgeous celebrities for inspiration. Take some selfie pointers from a few of my favorite stars!

Get a signature pose
Find a pose that works for you and make it your signature look. Kim makes sure to pout her lips every photo opportunity she gets and seems to work for her every time.
Rock a bright lip
I can’t think of a better way to make your photo pop than with a nice bright lipstick. Jessica Alba looks primp and pretty in this picture sporting ruby red lips. You really can’t go wrong with that classic shade.
Experiment with filters
Doesn’t Alessandra Ambrosio look absolutely stunning in this picture? She used a filter or phone app that got her looking even more flawless than usual.
Show off your best features
Got big, beautiful eyes? Show them off like Adriana Lima, by using a filter that will accentuate them. Or play them up with some falsies or mascara.
Shoot from your best angles
Taking a photo from the side rather than a full frontal shot can give the illussion of a slimmer face. This angled photo puts J.Lo's defined cheek bones on display.
Don't smile or pout
Ever noticed how some models pose with their mouth slightly opened? Celebs do it all the time too and if done correctly, it could actually make you look kind of hot. Sofia Vergara used that pose the day she debuted her newly dyed blonde hair and looked like a total bombshell. Try not to take yourself too seriously though.
