How to get the ultimate Facebook profile picture. (Girls only. Period.)

• Apply the crimson-est lipstick you own on your lips.
• The ultimate gloss to get the succulent-juicy-lips look
• Smear kajal/eyeliner/shadow above and below your eyes. It’s okay if you look like a racoon. (photo editing will take care of all the blemishes.)
• Don’t forget the mascara.
• Your flicks or bangs should cover one eye. Straightened.Yeah, in order to get the bandit-queen look.
• Hold your camera/phone in one hand. Face the mirror. Or face your Macbook’s lens. If you own a DSLR, half your task has been accomplished. For real.
• Pout your lips, raise your eyebrow(s) (optional) or narrow your eyes. Make sure you look your sexiest best.
• Take a  picture.
• If not satisfied with the first attempt, try umpteen times until you get the desired look.
• Once you are satisfied, get to the crucial aspect of this process - Editing your picture.
• Adjust the highlights, shadow/contrast. You could increase the saturation to acquire the unreal, dreamy look. Or probably fiddle with focal gray-scale, HDR, etc. If you are a Photoshop expert, use your skills to the fullest.
• Edit, re-edit your picture until you are absolutely sure that it’s what you were aiming for.
• Finally, upload it on Facebook.
