The salute is a common hand gesture seen around the world. You may have seen this pose in the military or used after a game winning touchdown, but I assure you that this pose can be very cute. To perform this pose, choose your favourite eye brow (right or left). You’ll use the hand that’s on the same side as your chosen eyebrow to do the salute. With this hand, you can have all fingers extended or just the index and middle finger extended (other fingers clenched). Place this hand at or near your eyebrow at an angle and you’re good to go!

To differentiate this salute from a military style salute, the choice of expression is crucial. You don’t want to perform this pose with a straight face. Instead, you should use facial expressions like a puffy face, a wink, or a big grin.
