Here's a one-sentence horror story — your hair, makeup, and nails are slaying and you've got the hottest new outfit on, but there's no one around to see it. Don't waste that perfectly good fashion moment pass you by — snap a stylish mirror selfie so you can post up (and show off) on Instagram. Unlike a regular selfie which only shows your frame from as far as your arm can reach, poppin' off with a series of mirror selfie poses leaves room for creative angles, down-to-your-shoe shots, and fun props. And the best part is that nobody will complain when you ask them to retake a shot a bajillion times because the photographer is you.
Since mirror selfies can sometimes turn out looking a little cringy, let us help you find the best poses to strike that will ~reflect~ your personality. Find a floor-length, makeup, or car mirror, charge your phone, and start scrolling for ideas. From poses to props, we've gathered the 25 best mirror selfie poses, tips, and tricks to help you get that super hot thirst trap and bad*** 'fit check. So go ahead — get your supermodel pose on in front of the glass and watch those likes roll in from your friends (and fans 😉). Before you hit the post button, make sure you pick out a savage or cute Instagram caption to go along with it!
