Oh c'mon @Icegoddess .  We know you'd look darn good on a zoom call!  You look fab in every pic I've seen of you!!!


@San Antonio Gal they're all taken from above too.  ;-)  Oh, the horror when I change the camera to selfie mode and I'm looking down.

Re: How Some People Look So Good On Skype

Thanks for posting, not that I am in need of one.  They have one of these at my salon and they always take photos of makeup and hair they've done and I never realized what it's intention was.  Of course I am not great at tech stuff, just enough to get by at this point.  But I learned something new today.

I've stayed in hotels with mirrors like this.  I guess they're LED.  I remember thinking, WOW my skin has never looked better.

Oh, come on.  I'll bet you aren't even close to ugly!

Every time I see myself on FaceTime I have to figure out who that is.  I am still working on gaining back what I lose with chemo, but this is worse than that.  Need to check for some filters.

@Still Raining You are a survivor and that's beautiful. I don't mean to minimize at all how you feel about your appearance. I lost my Mom to cancer, I am glad you are here.

They've been used for years to make videos on YouTube, Instagram, etc.  They make ring lights that attach to your phone too to take selfies.  I imagine you could attach it to your laptop as well to do Zoom meetings.

@SusieQ_2 I wondered how my cousin always looked so good on her selfies, she is pretty to begin with but not too photogenic, but now I know. Are the ones for your phone at Amazon as well? Thanks!

@CANDLEQUEEN Your cousin's secret is out now. Smiley Very Happy

 

Yes, you can get them on Amazon. There isn't really much you can't get on Amazon, lol! 

 

I would have linked it but I don't think we can do that with a site that sells things. Actually, I don't if we can but if you look up Selfie Ring Lights for Cell Phone you'll see them.
