Live chats and discussions on social media have grown exponentially during the pandemic. However, going live includes a checklist of right lighting, background, makeup and more. And to ace it like a pro, all one needs is to follow some expert advice. “Ideally, plain uncluttered background or an aesthetically pleasing one should be used. Avoid putting up a cloth background,” advises Simran Chopra, transformation coach. She also warns against wearing anything jarring or attention-grabbing. “Wear something muted, single colour and solid. If you are opting for prints, go for muted small prints,” adds Chopra.
