What do you do when you’ve put together a truly iconic outfit but you have no one around to 1) appreciate it and, most importantly, 2) take a picture of it? You go for a mirror selfie.
But if you feel like every time you try to take a mirror selfie, it ends up looking like a Myspace pic circa 2003, then you need some posing ideas.
From poses to key props, these are the Middle Eastern influencers who have mirror selfies on lockdown.
The next time you’re standing awkwardly in front of your reflection, feeling clueless about what to do, you’ll thank us for this. And if it doesn’t work out, you can always set a self-timer or phone a friend for backup—anything but a selfie stick.
The Handheld Mirror Selfie
Now, hear us out. Using a compact mirror for your next selfie can be tricky but the results can be fire. As the mirror is small you can focus on your fav feature (this one is perfect for when your lip combo is on fleek).
The Phone Case Selfie
Favoured by faceless influencers, using your phone to cover your face is perf for those days when you want to keep the focus on your drip and not your looks, position your phone front and centre.
The Seated Selfie
A selfie can be just as much about your home decor as it is about your outfit, amirite? In those instances, take a seat on your favourite piece of furniture and shoot the selfie from that angle.
The Carpark Mirror Selfie
The edgiest of the mirror selfies, the carpark mirror selfie makes you look extra tiny and you can get your entire fit in. Convex mirrors found in underground parking lots are also great for grabbing a group selfie with the besties.
The Elevator Reflection Selfie
Put a finger down if you’ve ridden an elevator until everyone else hops off so you can have a minute alone to get a good outfit photo in the reflection. If you didn’t put a finger down, you’ve gotta try it sometime.
