Photato(Photogenic Potato) refers to someone that looks good in a photo, but looks ugly in person. 

 

上镜的土豆指的就是那些本人长得并不出众，却很上镜的人。

 

She might be someone with a small face, or a slim body, or someone who is relaxed with the camera. All those factors¹ could make her look more beautiful in the photo than she actually is, which makes us jealous².

 

也许她拥有一张小脸，也许她身材苗条，也许她面对镜头很放松……这些都能让她镜头上比本人更漂亮，也让我们更嫉妒。

 

Example:

 

That girl is such a photato. If only she was as good looking in real life, as she was in her Facebook photos. 

那个女孩就是个上镜的土豆。要是她真人和她Facebook上的照片一样好看就好了。
