10 Chic Accessories That Will Help You Take Flawless Selfies On Your New iPhone
This is how you get that Kim K-level selfie.
Whenever a new phone launches, such as the brand new iPhone X, there are always several new features to get uber excited about. But the real reason many of us choose to make the switch is for the better camera. Let's face it: this generation loves a good selfie. However, as we learned from model Ellie Gonsalves, it takes so much more than an upgraded camera to capture the perfect pic. In fact, it truly takes a village to pull off Kardashian-level Instagrams.
For starters, you have to find the perfect angle, which can involve tons of trial and error images. (This is also how you end up with 50 plus options of the exact same picture to choose from.) And that is just a miniscule part of it. Have you ever been out with your friends at a club, and while you all look beyond amazing you just can't seem to get a good pic? Well, that's probably because the lighting sucks, and if you don't have the right setting or level of brightness, it just won't work.
Luckily, there are tons of brilliant gadgets that will help you take your phone photography skills to another level. And with the holidays quickly approaching, now is the ideal time to prepare for all of those family and holiday party pics. So, to help you work on your selfie game, we rounded up ten of the hottest new phone accessories that will help you *fabulously* capture memories for life. Watch the video above to see how some of these selfie-enhancers work, and then shop additional picks below!
