Photo Personals Makeover Tips:

1. Focus on You in Photos – For the primary photo especially, post photos that include you and only you. Because singles want to see you first and not the whole package (your dog, your children, your hockey team, etc.), this photo should be all about you. Your profile photo is about attracting first dates so save the family introductions for later.

2. Be Casual and Cool – You want to post a casual shot just like you are ready to go on a first date. Avoid corporate looking photos where you look too serious.   Yet, don't get too casual.  Avoid shirtless, muscle shirt type shots, or t-shirts.  Where a nice polo shirt or sweater.

3. Wear Your Colors – Wear colors that complement your skin tone. You are naturally drawn to your colors so you probably already know them. If you want another opinion, ask a friend, hire a style consultant.

4. Watch the Lighting – Because lighting can greatly impact the quality of a photo, take your pictures in different settings and angles so you have options. For the best results, take shots inside with a red-eye reduction flash, and then outside when the sun is setting. When taking outside shots, make sure the sun is behind the photographer.

5. Choose Backgrounds Carefully – The background in a photo can make a huge difference. Try different backgrounds and make sure nothing is sticking out of someone’s head by accident. Your hair shouldn't blend into the background.  Don't stand in front of the place you work or a dumpy location to take a photo.

6. Quick Makeover Magic-Take a good look in the mirror. If you really want to increase your odds, update your look.  Make sure you have a recent hair cut, whiten your teeth and update your overall look.  If you are a guy, you increase your chances by 95% by shaving off the mustache, beard or goatee.....it's passé.    Women should go to the local department store for an update on their make up.  If you don't wear make up regularly, you look washed out in photos.  The make up counter can show you ways to enhance and update your look while still looking very natural.
