Beauty bloggers are having something of a moment lately. If you follow even one you will know by now that one of the easiest ways to spot a beauty blogger while scrolling through social media feeds is their super selfies.

They are literally pros at taking selfies, seriously, some of them actually are paid for this kind of thing.

Recently the folks at Allure noticed an interesting trend amongst the bloggers, they all take selfies with a particular type of style. The head tilt is a staple in many blogger’s camera rolls, and people wanted to know why, and a few bloggers revealed the secret.

"Certain angles will make you look slimmer and certain angles will cast shadows that bring out bone structure," says Ellarie.

"My personal preference when using my ring light is to hold the camera out in the middle of the ring, slightly above or at forehead level, and then tilt my face down and to the side. It allows the shadows and light source to hit my face in all the right places and showcase my makeup the best."

"Knowing your angles is so important," explains Khan. "Holding the camera high is super flattering on the face and all it takes is a little head tilt to show off that eye makeup."

So, there you have it. If you want your on point make to generate some thousands of likes, you need to start working your angles.

We just thought they had some neck pain to be honest, but know we know!
