Do you use oil absorbing sheets? That should help with the shine thing.

I'm very light skinned and I hate posing for pictures, especially with others. Everyone looks like they have a fabulous tan and I look white and pasty.

My best angle is from the side, so I always kinda pose with my head tilted.

I have to take 100 pictures just to get like 1 or 2 good ones. One of the many reasons I don't have a Facebook. Every time I go out I try to take pictures, but I feel I only come out good in mirror pictures that I take myself. I don't know how some people on Facebook have 489220229 pics of themselves. It's exhausting, IMO.
