Honestly, back camera is definitely best. what I do, is
stand in front of a window or anywhere where there is natural light.
get a mirror and set it/hold it infront of my phone (helps me see what I'm taking a picture of haha)
Tap the screen so it focuses and take the picture lol

Really? try adjusting the brightness? haha (if you have iOS8) work with angles, don't face the sun/light directly. touching the screen usually helps adjustment brightness as well, just touch in different parts

Touch where your eye is in the frame and it should adjust the lighting to focus on it

You should also turn on HDR (tap the top of the camera frame) to make pictures crisper. It takes 3 simultaneous photos at different exposures and combines them to make it better and more dynamic than any one picture alone.

I agree with Jacqlyn. You can't have a photo that's that high resolution and look that flawless without editing software, no matter how skilled you are with makeup.

Its all editing just like how YouTube gurus get perfect looking skin in videos its all about the editing and stuff I want to know what I look like with all the editing I bet I would look 10000000000 times better than on an iPhone camera alone lol.

I personally think iPhone cameras take great quality pictures..only from the back camera on though, and when its focused with HDR. however android cameras are flawless with the front and back camera :( boo but iPhone ones work great just depends how you're taking it.
and yeah that chick enhanced her photo like crazy.
