So, taking the perfect selfie can be overwhelming at the best of times.

After all, there’s a lot to consider – the lighting, what filter to use, is this my good side?

Well, according to a study conducted by Dr Anukka Lindell from La Trobe University, Melbourne, it’s all about the angles.

The professor, who specialises in cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience, looked at almost 2000 selfies from 200 participants on Instagram and the results were quite interesting.

She found that both both male and females preferred to pose with their left cheek facing the camera.

But why? 

According to the Mail Online Dr Anukka said:  ‘’Selfies taken at an angle are more flattering than front on, as they show more angles, highlight cheekbones, and make the subject look slimmer.’’

She also claimed that left cheek poses made the subject appear more 'emotionally open and expressive'. 

We have to admit, we never noticed before, but maybe Dr Anukka's got a point.
