okay, so this Monday is picture day, and I cannot smile without looking like a total idiot! I've practiced, but I don't like it!!! And it seems like some kind of religion, but around picture day, my nerves aact up, and I either break out, or my lips get chapped, and right now their chapped, and I've been using the best chap stick, but my smiling issues are the issue. I can't smile, and when I don't, people say I look like I'm mad at them or something, I am soooo screwed! what should I do about this??? Should I do anything about this???

just be your self, and don't smile as much when your taking the pic. or just 4get about the whole thing cuz its stressing. -thats was i do >u<
or if you really can't find a solution by the due date -the pic day- well, then "accidentally" forget to take the picture, then, by the picture day make up, which usually is in like a month, I'm pretty sure, you'll know what to do. -thats also kinda was i did, only i really forgot it.... since no one reminded me.

For breakouts, proactive IS the best.
-Especially the refining mask, it gets rid of the redness AND the bump overnight!
For your lips, you might want to try getting a medicated lip balm-apply it every 5-10 minutes for best un-chapped lips.
For your smile, PRACTICE!
In the mirror, practice a smile that you'd like everyone to see.
When you smile for the camera, smile not just with your lips but with your eyes. Tap on your source of joy from within (by thinking happy thoughts, picturing your beloved family pet, recalling happy moments, or the one you adore) and let your eyes sparkle with brightness from this internal emotion. The rest of your face and posture will follow.
If for some reason, you don't like your teeth, or when you show them when you smile, but your eyes get too squinty...-try a closed- mouth soft-looking smile.
Try not to focus too much on the camera, look at it with soft eyes (like if uhh.... you're looking at Gerard Way? or someone else who you admire). Good luck! Oh, you know in most schools, there's always the picture re-take option... ☺

I have the same problem when I smile but my eyebrows go up and I look so dang goofy......I would get in front of the mirror and try different smiles. Try to soft smile. Just lightly. Everyone has to get a fake smile and you got to find yours. I know that sounds dumb but really just practice. I never take good pictures. Your not alone.
Good Luck.

Try to kind of laugh, it looks more natural than a forced smile. Also, make sure your hair looks nice and your wearing a good shirt to bring attention off your smile if it is crappy. Just think of something that was really funny and you'll have a great pic.

I hate taking pictures, but if you smile big (show your teeth!) and squint your eyes just a little bit you'll look like you're having fun which will make for a better pic. You'll feel silly at the time, but it turns out better than you think!

Try laughing instead of smiling. It looks much more natural if you are relaxed. Or try smiling with teeth just barely open. It looks more natural too. Good luck!
