Nobody talks about how hard it is to take a good selfie. Everyone knows that it takes supreme effort to look effortless and the best selfies have taken a long time to perfect. How many of us have reams of rejected selfies on our phones before we pick the chosen one after much deliberation? It's tough, it really is. Ty Hunter is about to make it a lot simpler with his new project. The stylist who has worked with Beyoncé for almost 20 years has invented a phone case with inbuilt selfie lighting.

Hunter told Glamour what inspired him to create this genius product: "I'm such a selfie king and just wanted that extra light. Light is so important to look your best.' A friend of his had FaceTimed him while he was still in bed, and this sparked the idea.'I wanted to look good, and I did not want to get up!'

The case has three distinct light settings: Cool, Warm, and Brilliant to accommodate any light in any environment, and doesn't affect your phone battery as it has its own power source. It seems very customisable, and according to the official website: 'Users can also dim the brightness in each light setting to their preferred level of brightness.' Revolutionary stuff (in selfie terms obviously). The cover is available only for the iPhone 6 and 6s.   Lead Image via Instagram/@tyliteofficial
