Yep. Just recently realized I don't smile a lot and that affects my interactions with others. Also my face literally strains when I have to smile. The sensation feels weird in my muscles.

I’m very insecure about my smile especially after i got braces and i tend to look awkward when i smile in pictures so this helped me to smile better in photos. thank you so much

I'm a cosplayer, and for whatever reason whenever I try to take a picture where I'm smiling in cosplay, I get this awkward "deer-in-the-headlights" sort of look, which is especially frustrating because I really enjoy cosplaying bubby, cheerful characters. Thanks for the tips, they seem like they'll really help to practice my smile for photos!

Yeah Finally~ She is the one who taught me how to smile when taking pictures back in 2014. Was it Koba(??) the 순두부 restaurant. It was so awkward and shy for me to smile on camera because Koreans are not used to, but Katrina and Tania always made me genuinely smile on camera. By the time I left, I was no longer shy ☺️ and actually I had a presentation in college about how I have been changed in many ways through studying abroad , and I cut in some pictures to show how my smile have changed. It’s ALL thanks to Katrina. Thank you Kat and Miss you so much

I really want to try and change my smile. I do actually have a very duchene smile, but I want to change it up to look prettier. I use the right muscles, but squeeze my eyes way too much, causing closed eyes and extreme wrinkling around the eyes. So I will use your tips to try to keep my eyes open when smiling. During your video I already found out that my smile changed after childhood, making my eyes wrinkly (only when smiling) and my cheeks seem to have lost there natural dimple in my new, uglier smile. So I just need to reinvent my old smile!

Thank you so much for this video. I hope I can get my true smile to start showing up in pictures. 🥰

Hey I too have dimples but when I smile for a photo they make my face look so big... Why so?! I am very insecure about my smie and face

@katrinastacie

2 жыл бұрын

aww I hope you can embrace your dimples and smile! My face shape also makes my face look bigger, esp. in certain angles.. but hopefully you can find an angle that makes you feel good! Also, having a bigger face isn't bad either! I think the most important thing is that you feel and look joyful - your smile will shine brighter than anything else

Okay, now share with us how to get those godly dimples

I'm very insecure about my smile, my friends told me my smile is fake so many times they thought I'm so attitude....I try my best but I'm so insecure about my shape of my face , I have round face but my chin is kinda a long when it expand, basically I felt so ugly.,🤧

Aww I’m sorry that they said that and made you feel more insecure. Personally, I feel like when I see someone smiling genuinely, all I can see is the authentic joy on their face rather than focusing on their features. We are definitely the most critical of ourselves! 💛😭

I am insecure about my looks in picture. I don't know why I feel like I look pretty in the mirror and selfies but when it comes to back camera pictures and video calls, I don't feel pretty... specially my smile and eyes looks different than the mirror, selfies and real life...I don't know what to do about this...🙂.
