This Selfie Hack Will Get You All the Likes

There's an art to taking the perfect selfie—hell, Kim Kardashian made a career off of her skills. But for most of us, taking the time to master every new selfie craze (the duck lips, the fish face, phone accessories, etc..) isn't a priority. That's why the latest selfie hack isn't about feigning perfection. Instead, it's about embracing your natural self, without the use of Photoshop and fish-face poses.

The selfie hack, as Glamour.com explains, is to use your hands. Want bigger lips? Use your fingers to emphasize your natural pout. Have a zit you just can't mask with makeup? Cover it by showcasing your new mani. At the end of the day, this selfie trick is about acknowledging your perceived "flaws" and, instead of airbrushing them out, embracing them. The goal is to look natural, not fake. The mere idea of a designated selfie pose might seem a little ridiculous. Admittedly, it is. But silliness aside, the point of taking a selfie is to showcase our best (or ideal) selves to our friends and family through a photo. And as this trick proves, you don't need a million airbrushing and Photoshopping apps to look your best. Empowering message for such a silly trick, don't you think?

Celebs and models use this trick all the times in their photos, and it works. Check out some of the best examples below, and think of all the ways you can spend your free time now that you don't need to practice your duck face in the mirror. You can thank us (and these influencers) later. Try it without makeup and let your true beauty shine.
