Take cues from local influencer Faye Balogo, whose shy girl aesthetic never fails to score thousands of double-taps on the 'gram. We're obsessed with her minimalist yet dainty sartorial style, and we can't help but feel like we're being transported to South Korea whenever we're scrolling endlessly on her dreamy IG feed.
If you don't like showing your face in your photos, then you might want to glean lessons from Faye on how to pose for your next OOTD. Check them out below!
Faye Balogo's Best Shy Girl Poses on Instagram
1. Use your hands to shield your face from the sunlight as if you're being blinded by its brightness.
2. When taking a mirror selfie, use your phone to cover your face. This brings more attention to your outfit, too.
3. Wear a cool cap and strike a low-key pose while looking down. Act chill!
4. Look to your side while crossing the street, as if you're making sure there aren't any vehicles on the road that might potentially hit you while you're walking. (That said, do be careful!)
5. Make use of props! Grab a book and pretend (or not!) to be reading it, tilting it high enough to cover your face while you get the shot.
6. If you're always busy with your phone, this one should be effortless. Try out this candid pose that's best achieved with a cute bucket hat.
7. Coffee? Yes, please! Apart from energizing you, it could serve as a cool prop, too! Literally cover your face with your cup of joe and call it a day.
8. Flowers always add a sweet element to any photo. Incorporate it in your OOTD by playfully covering your face with a dainty bouquet.
9. Use one hand to cover your face while walking as if you're being chased by the paparazzi.
10. Make use of your accessories. As demonstrated by Faye, a pretty hat works best if you want to cover your face but still highlight your stylish 'fit and picturesque background.
