How can I look better in pictures?

I'm really pretty in person but I look so weird in pictures. What are some tips to look better in pictures? How can I make my eyes really pop in pictures?

1. some people just aren't photogentic. practice in mirrors and with your own camera.
2. You can bring out your eyes with mascara and eyeliner and eye shadow! When you take a Pic just relax and don't tense up! And think of something funny or some where nice to be! Relax its just a Pic!!
3. take the picture on your good side
4. Well, all I can say is just try changing the lighting you take pictures in and don't make silly faces or anything. Take pictures when you feel comfortable and make sure you look alright. Don't apply a lot of eyeliner.
5. Wear very bright colors.
6. practice taking pictures with a digital camera, try different poses, ask someone to tell you how to pose. You just need to practice
7. ever heard of airbrushing? u can get programs like paint shop pro to edit your own photos. u probably don't even need it as you self proclaim that you are " really pretty", it might just be from your point of view.
8. wow conceited much? ive never actually heard anyone call themselves ''really pretty" before
9. If you tilt your head slightly to one side then the lighting will hit you differently and you will look better. Trust me. Never look directly into the camera...look a little above the lens. When you are taking pictures, try to wear colors that will flatter your skin tone. If you have a double chin, hide it. Tilt your head down slightly and try to position yourself so that the camera is a little above your eye level. Stick out your neck slightly. One trick models often use is to present a 3/4 pose to the camera (turn your head so that 3/4 of your face is exposed to the camera, as opposed to a full frontal shot) and then lift your neck and slightly tilt your head down, as though you are a turkey sticking its head out (without actually thrusting your chin out). This improves facial definition and helps ameliorate wrinkles and flabby skin. Always maintain your posture. Listen to your mommy. Remember how she always told you not to slouch? Good posture can dramatically improve your appearance in pictures. Sitting or standing up straight will make you look healthier and more alert and, if in a group setting, more attractive than your slouching companions. Just remember to breathe normally and relax your shoulders. Especially if you usually have bad posture, it may be difficult to stand up straight and not look stiff, so practice this in the mirror. && Of course, determine your best angles.
10. ya thats like me too. wear mascara and lotsssss of eyeliner. and if u dont hav big lips...u probably wont always look good i notice girls that have real big lips always look good even when they look crappy
