Kim Kardashian is the empress of self-promotion, frequently posting on the social media networks "selfie" snapshots to her millions of followers and fans around the globe. Hence she ultimately revealed the secrets of how to take the perfect self-portrait.

Recently in a video released by Extra, Kim Kardashian has shared her rules for taking the perfect selfie. The reality TV star often posts photos of herself on social networking sites. And she has now taught her fans how to follow in her footprints and take a great self-portrait aka selfie.

"Rule number one, you always have to have it a little higher," she explains on a video revealed by Extra, as she holds her camera phone above her head.

Kim gave out her guidelines while visiting a nail salon with her best friend Brittny Gastineau.

The bold beauty then became agitated by her own reflection and plainly wasn't happy without her typical layers of mascara and lipstick. "Ugh, I look disgusting without make-up," she grumbled.

Kim went on to advise folks to find their best angle and make the most of the lighting around you. She also recommended moving the camera from high to low, before admonitioning not to overdo the pout.

"But no duck face," "I love doing that, because it gives you cheekbones. But people get so mad." she said raising her pout

Khloe Kardashian lately appreciated the Kim's talent to take great snapshots of herself. She also shared some top secrets about mastering the art of selfies.

"You have to arch it up, to have the camera up above, down below gives you too many double chins, so up above and whatever face you make," Khloe suggested.

"Kim is a huge flash person. It's still her theory to this day and if the flash is not on she's like, 'Oh no, can we delete that?' She wants to see you delete it and re-do it with the flash." She added.
