If you've got the whole clan assembled for the holidays, chances are you'll be snapping a few shots of the group before, during and after your ginormous Christmas feast. But nobody likes bad photos of themselves -- you know, the ones where you have more chins than a Chinese phone book. You want to eat the turkey -- not look like one. Female First has some tips on making your chin area look as flattering as possible in your holiday snaps, including:
- Tricks of the make-up trade. Some subtle shading around the jawline can make a world of difference.
- A good haircut works wonders too. Accentuate the chin with a bob or long layers.
- Elongate your neck when the photo is being snapped, sit or stand up straight and press your tongue to the roof of your mouth.
- If you're doing a solo photo, get it taken from slightly above and to one side -- then follow the previous steps.
Got any tips of your own?
