I to know how do you guys take pictures of your looks. I've tried but it haven't been a success, the colors doesn't show on the picture. It just looks like a shimmery mess. Ugh, please help.

What are you using for a camera? Are you using flash? Are you taking pictures in natural light? That stuff helps people know how to help :)

That could be why, especially if you can't bounce the flash off of a corner or ceiling. Direct flash is really harsh. Try shooting in natural light. If you are using a camera with a white balance that can be set, make sure to set it to auto. You can try shooting when it is a little overcast or in a doorway if you need the light to be a little softer. Direct flash is really harsh, tungsten lights are orangish and fluorescents are a nasty greenish if the white balance is wrong. Daylight is easier to photograph in.
