The humble selfie has certainly evolved since the family who truly perfected the art first began snapping.

This morning, Kylie Jenner, 17, assumed one of her favourite stances: side-on view; one arm wrapped around her body, the other holding her phone. There's always plenty of toned midriff on show, as well as oodles of killer pout.

But the teenage reality TV star isn't the only member of her famous clan that has a preference for the mirror selfie position: Kim, Khloe and Kendall all love it too.

Previously, Kim, 34, has taken her fans through the ways to achieve the perfect selfie:

  • "If you don't have a mirror in front of you to figure out your pose and your angle, make sure that the lighting is amazing because you want to blow out everything that you don't want to see and highlight all the good things that you do."
  • "For me, I know my perfect angle it's my chin down and I just pose away and take about 300 photos until I get the perfect selfie."

Furthermore (and for those who don't have the time to take 300 snaps), we recommend the following:

  • Tilt your head at a angle to highlight your cheekbones and make your eyes look larger.
  • Kim is right – lighting is everything. So try to take your picture outside, or at least go to the nearest window.
  • Even if you don't ordinarily do so, wear lipstick – it gives the picture a focal point.
  • Finally, use your favourite filter. Heavy air-brushing will only make you look silly, but the right filter will make ALL the difference.
