Beauty

'Chinning' is the hilarious Instagram trend that says f**k you to beauty standards.

Most Instagram selfies are all about trying to look #flawless&ndash;but not Michelle Liu&#39;s. The 21-year-old is proudly challenging Instagram beauty norms with &quot;chinning,&quot; the cool new way to take a selfie. Basically, instead of taking your selfie from a flattering angle, take it from below, while allowing your face to show off all the chins within.
