"Ask someone else to take it. Get them to crack a joke.
Smiling for a selfie looks strained. Don't do a duck face like the womenfolk do!
 "
What about a trout pout? |

If I ever take a selfie, it's rare but I do sometimes, I consciously relax my face, just make a small smile rather than a broad grin and ensure my eyes smile too.
I usually take selfies when I'm looking awful anyway eg in the hairdressers with my hair on giant rollers or with a green face pack on so I'm laughing anyway  |

Don't give in to the tyranny of 'smiling selfies'. I rarely (very rarely (very very rarely)) smile in photos. Then there's always 'someone' who says 'smile don't look grumpy'. I don't looke grumpy - THIS IS HOW I LOOK! I don't walk around smiling all the time - I'M NOT A STRICTLY CONTESTANT.
Thank you |

"Use your cameras ‘burst’ mode.
Hold button down, think of something funny Or amusing.
Review all the pics and chose your fave. "
That's a good idea.. can you give me a joke to think of? |

"Why not get a picture where you are smiling - when someone else took it. Then crop it just to show your face.
You're welcome  "
All my friends are too old for that |

"Be happy?
Know that sounds shit advice but so many people these days are unhappy about everything. Best way to smile is to be genuinely happy and if your not then work on that x"
I can be happy but it doesn't mean I'm grinning like a goon all the time. My resting face is serious, and my "concentrate on phone to take picture" face is too. |

Grinning isn't same as smiling. You don't have to show teeth if it's unnatural. The best smile is being naturally happy, that's what I was getting at. I don't have straight teeth at all but been told I have a cute smile .....Not sure if that is good or not but I'll take it! |

My mouth does not turn up naturally. Doesn't mean I'm unhappy. It means I don't have an immediate stimulus to change my facial expression.
Some people don't smile as their default. Some people find it incredibly difficult to do on demand. |

"I can't do selfies or like looking directly at the camera I automatically go bozz eyed! It's really not a good look when you're trying to look seductive.

Yeah me faking a smile isn't good at all |

I'm a naturally smiley person, so I don't find it too difficult - but one thing I do is get the camera lined up, count to 3, think of something that makes me happy, and only smile as I press the button. It just stops it from looking unnatural after holding it for too long. |
