Now you will upload your MAKEUP FREE selfie in NATURAL daylight! The best lighting is standing about 2-3 steps back DIRECTLY facing a window INSIDE your house. You can also stand a couple steps back from an open front door if a window is an issue. You can look at the graphics below for examples of what your selfie should look like!
Please follow instructions the best you can. I apologize in advance for the long checklist on taking a selfie, but this REALLY helps me make the correct choices for your colors when ladies follow these guidelines below, and I usually won't have to ask for another picture!
- Make sure I can see your face AND neck well (no shadows, direct sunlight or harsh lighting across them)
- Try to NOT wear a bright colored shirt, but more of a neutral color. (bright colored shirts can sometimes reflect off the skin, and make you appear different)
- Try to NOT wear a hoodie, robe, or collared shirt...they can make it really difficult to see your neck, which is a big part of your color recommendations!
- No filters/no snapchat (I absolutely cannot match you using either of these)
- Wipe off your phone camera lens so your picture is not blurry.
- Hold phone directly out for a front pic, and you can also send side angles too if you'd like!
- No bathroom, kitchen, or artificial overhead lighting (these will not show your true skin tone)
- No selfies taken outside in direct sunlight.
