While you can always add some filters or edit the picture to make it appear brighter, it is almost impossible to mimic the attraction that can be achieved with naturally good lighting.

Fluorescent lights rarely make anything appear flattering, while warm or yellowish lights often act similar to a filter that hides your flaws. Apart from general lights, keep a ring light in your home for looking your best in your selfies and Zooms.
