Take a better facebook photo

Dr Jeffrey Spiegel, facial plastic surgeon at Boston University School of Medicine shared these tips in Parade.com:

1.     Stand at an angle to the camera. This will give you a slimmer profile and add interest to the photo.  Try slightly lowering your front shoulder to elongate your neck.
2.     Women: Looking up slightly will automatically raise your eyebrows, making your eyes appear larger. Men: Stick you chin out a bit to create a stronger face and eliminate a double chin.

3.     Smack your lips together (though not to hard) a couple of times just before the photo is taken.  This will send blood to them and make them appear redder and fuller.  Similarly, pinch your cheeks to get a rosy glow.
4.     To avoid closed eyes, try this trick.  Ask the person snapping the photo to count to three, then blink on two.  Your eyes will be at their brightest and most open.
