Crossdresser Tips for Looking Your Best in Selfies

When you take a selfie, it’s not just about showing off what you’re wearing or how good your hair looks—it’s about showing the world who you are, and letting them know what makes you special. We all know that selfies are a big deal. Any crossdresser can take a good selfie with the right lighting, angle, and equipment. But when you’re taking a selfie, do you really think about how important it is to look your best?

As crossdressers, we all love showing off our best looks. It’s because self-esteem matters—and we want people to see us at our best! When you’re taking a selfie, you’re showing the world what you think about yourself: You’re saying, “This is me, and here I am.” And really, there’s nothing wrong with wanting people to see how awesome you are! Taking a selfie is all about showing your best side.

Selfies aren’t just for sharing on social media, they can boost our self esteem. Selfies help us feel connected when we might otherwise feel alone and isolated. Read more below for tips on how to amp your selfies!

1. Consider what’s behind you

One tip to look our best in selfies is to consider what’s behind you or your background. When taking a selfie, it’s important to remember that the camera is looking at everything from the front and so, if there is anything behind you, it will become part of your photo. If you’re taking a photo of yourself, make sure that your surroundings are as flattering as possible. Also, if it looks like a mess, or if there’s something distracting in the background, this can make your photo look unkempt and messy.

If there’s a messy room behind you, or worse yet, an unflattering piece of furniture, try to keep that out of the shot. On the other hand, if there’s something beautiful or interesting behind you (like a wall mural), then make sure that’s in the picture! When taking a selfie, it’s important to make sure that your face isn’t covered up by objects in the background. If you’re in a room with windows and sunlight, try standing in front of the window and looking out of it. Or, if you’re outside, stand in front of a tree or other object that makes the background interesting.

2. Be aware of your posture

Your posture can make or break a selfie. If you’re looking at a selfie and you notice that your chin tilts down and your shoulders are slouched, you’re not giving the best impression. That means that when you’re taking selfies, it’s important to remember that you should always try to stand up straight and keep your shoulders back. You’ll look more confident and put together than if you slouch or have hunched shoulders. This is because your posture affects how other people perceive you.

Crossdressers who have good posture tend to be more confident and self-assured, which makes them more attractive. Next time you take a selfie, try to remember to stand up straight with your shoulders back, chin up, and smile on!

Try this simple exercise: Stand with your shoulders back and chest out. Now, stick out your stomach as far as it will go without bending over or arching your back. Next, notice how your head sits on top of your neck compared to where it was when you were standing up straight. If it’s higher up, then you’ve got the right posture going on! You can practice this in front of the mirror while taking photos until it becomes second nature. You’ll look amazing in all those selfie shots, queens!

3. Play with different lighting

When you’re taking a selfie, it’s tempting to just grab your phone and snap away, but the way you light your selfie can make a big difference. The best selfies are the ones that use natural light. If you can, take your picture outdoors during the day. This will give you the most flattering look on camera and help make your skin look more radiant. If you can’t get outside, try taking your selfie in front of a window or using a lamp with a dimmer switch so that you can control the brightness of the light source.

If it’s sunny outside and you’re taking a selfie by the window, try moving closer or farther away from the window—you’ll notice that as you move farther away from the light source (the sun), your skin tone gets darker, which can be flattering. But if you move any closer to the window, your skin tone will get lighter and more washed out—which may not be as flattering on everyone!

If it’s dark outside and you’re taking a selfie indoors, try turning on more lights than usual. This will help create shadows that will make your face look more defined and accentuate your features (like cheekbones!) in a flattering way. You can also try turning off some lights so there are still shadows but not as many—this will give off more of an “I’m about to go clubbing” vibe than an “I woke up like this” vibe.

4. Look to your left or right

It’s a common mistake for crossdressers to take selfies looking straight into the camera. You’re better off looking to the left or right of the camera, which will make you look more natural and help ensure that all of your features are in frame. It’s true! When you look straight ahead, your eyes are further apart than when you look to one side. This makes the area under your eye (i.e., the bags) appear more prominent. So, if you’re taking a selfie and want to look great, try tilting your head just slightly to one side or the other—it’ll help highlight the natural shape of your face instead of drawing attention away from it!

You know how some have one eye smaller than the other or their nose is off center? It’s because they tend to take selfies with their face straight ahead, which means that one side of their face looks more prominent than the other. Looking straight at the camera can be a little boring, so try looking off to one side or the other. This will give you a nice angle and help you look more relaxed and natural. It also makes your face look more symmetrical. So, next time you’re trying to get a good selfie shot (or any type of photo), try looking to your left or right as soon as you press the shutter button!

5. Mind the angle

When we’re trying to get a good selfie, we tend to forget that we’re not looking at ourselves from the same angle as everyone else will see it. It’s important to check that your face looks its best from every angle. I rounded up some tips from the pros on how to make sure your selfies are always on point. First, don’t take photos straight on. Selfies taken straight on can make you look wider than you actually are, so try angling your camera at about 30 degrees away from yourself. That way, when you look at the photo later, it will seem like you’re skinnier and taller than you actually are!

Next, get close, but not too close. Getting too close makes it hard for others to see what’s going on in your photo, so take care not to zoom in too much or get too close when taking a selfie. Not too much distance, but enough that you can still see all of your features clearly. Instead, try standing back just a bit and zooming out so that the whole scene is visible—this will make it easier for viewers to see all of your fabulousness! Lastly, the best angle is one that helps you look like you’re in a magazine ad. You want your face to be slightly tilted up and looking straight out of the picture. To get this look, try adjusting your phone so that it’s slightly above eye level and pointed down at yourself when taking the photo.

6. Don’t be afraid to edit

You’re ready to post that selfie, but it just doesn’t look quite right. Your eyes are too big, your teeth are crooked, or your beard stubble is showing. If you’ve ever taken a selfie and found that it didn’t look exactly the way you wanted, then you’re not alone. We all have our own unique expectations of how we want to look in photos, but sometimes our phones just don’t deliver. When you’re taking a selfie, the chances are pretty good that you’re not going to look perfect. That’s why it’s so important to be able to edit your selfies. There’s no shame in using filters or apps like Instagram, Snapchat, or Facetune. Some even use Photoshop! When you can take a picture that looks perfect and then make it look even better with a few simple edits, your photos will always be amazing.

Don’t be afraid to edit your selfies. Filling out your eyebrows will make them look fuller and more defined, which gives your face dimension and helps it pop on camera. With the right tools, you can easily edit out blemishes, freckles, and even different types of hair by using a few simple tricks. While we know that editing is a controversial topic among crossdressers (and everyone else), there are some things that can’t be fixed with a quick filter or blur. And when it comes down to taking the perfect selfie, we want you to feel confident and beautiful no matter what the filter looks like (or whether or not there is one at all).

You’re a beauty queen. You know it, and everyone else does too. A selfie session is a great way to showcase yourself and tell the world that you are proud of your beauty and authenticity. With an Instagram-worthy selfie session, you can show off your personality and style in one shot, while also creating memories that will last forever. So, what are you waiting for? Get ready to be the star of your next photoshoot!
