It's easy to look like Chrissy if you perfect your pursing-of-the-lips technique—which gives off that sultry-sweet vibe (in between a smile and a serious look). The best way to purse? Pretend like you're going to whistle, without opening your mouth!

Go for a big smile like Reese Witherspoon.

If pursed lips like Chrissy Teigen's aren't your vibe, a big smile like Reese Witherspoon's here is sometimes better than a normal smile because it immediately shows you're happy and full of life in photos—rather than a regular smile, which could potentially come off as forced.
