Recent
research has shown that in social (and business) media, such as Facebook,
Twitter and Linked In, the majority of people make their contact decisions
based on your photograph, not your words. No – they really do, look up
tricitypsychology.com for the background.
Our triangle
of communication is head, shoulders and most importantly, our eyes.
Interestingly, while the top of our heads can be cropped, we can never lose our
chin and a bit of neck is essential. While the photograph doesn’t have to be
fully face-on, our eyes should always be at a point roughly two thirds up and
we need to smile. A smile makes us appear friendly, happy and competent (and
therefore much more attractive in every sense) and it is a great disguise for
any little ‘marks of maturity’ (wrinkles!) we may have earned.
Remember
that the right lipstick makes your teeth look whiter and your eyes brighter,
while too much eye make-up will draw attention to itself.
