Definition: The innate ability to look good in selfies (Merriam-Webster online).
Sample usage: "I'm only selfiegenic when the light has that golden-hour quality and I smear Carmex on the lens."
Popularity: The "self" part is obvious, but the sound of the word veers into "hygienic" territory, and that makes it sound as if you're complimenting yourself for bathing on a regular basis.
