Love these Ellie-Jean!
I love your content, thank you for your work!
When I see your face I think Ingenue and Ethereal, rather than classic, why is that?
it’s sad that in our current facetune and surgery obsessed culture, a lot of these natural features are being wiped out as everyone seeks to look the same.
I once met a cosmetic surgeon who told me - you face is probably the least desireable when people are really young but as people age it becomes the most desireable face they want. You have a gold standard face . So I find it odd wheen people that didnt have any cheeck bones or lips have features that were formally ugly or manly
i love this comment bc its so comforting for those with ethnic features that arent eurocentric
@@MsMrReason I think I know what you mean.
Growing up, I got made fun of because of my sharp jawline, high cheekbones, and large eyes. My mom has them & so do my grandmothers on both sides of my family. I’m Hispanic and it’s more common, but in the early 2000’s in the state I grew up in there was hardly any diversity at the time so it was “weird.”
It is better now, but at the same time I noticed that the same people contour their faces to resemble the same features they used to mock. So odd to me.
I just embraced my natural looks by the end of high school & would even highlight my high cheekbones and large eyes. I’m only in my mid 20’s so it wasn’t that long ago when people were still making fun of women and girls with high cheekbones, sharp jawlines, and large eyes..
@@kayv5840 frrr. now everyone wants thick arab eyebrows 😐
@@kayv5840 there's no way sharp jawlines were made fun of....
Me thinking “oh this is me” for every one 😂🌚
I appreciate the diversity in the pictures you show as examples.
I agree however 0 plus size/ curvy women were shown
That's a lie I saw 2 fat ones in there
@@fredlives9188 Wow, you are so pleasant 💅
Celebrities and models tend to have healthy diets, and time, money and access to fitness.. therefore overweight women are a minority when sourcing photos from that realm.
@@goooska33 fat isnt a bad word.
Honestly this video has convinced me to stop guessing and just get a consultation done. I think it can be rather difficult to see yourself accurately in the way that others do. I tend to see myself in segments but other people just see the whole. Your videos are light hearted and fun so they feel very approachable. Thank you.
That’s lovely to hear, I’m so glad you find my videos fun! ♥️♥️♥️
I recently had an in-person consult with John Kitchener. My consult included both the PSC System of Color and Essence Harmonies. Mr. Kitchener is a trained artist with a very high level of color acuity, along with the education (and experience) to understand the technicalities of color. Mr. Kitchener is the opposite of a "formulaic" color consult. You are not placed in a "season" like HOC (4 season) or Sci/Art (12 season), etc. Not that there is anything wrong with those systems. But much of the benefit of your consult depends on the natural talent and training of the consultant. And, most people are typically a blend. Personally, I found a great deal of variation in the Sci/Art (12 season) community. (Don't get me started on the 16 season system.) The Essence Harmonies segment of my consult was also very informative. The most significant aspect of Mr. Kitchener's systems is that you are NEVER just one thing. He believes and argues that we are all blends of different essences, much like your personal coloring. This made a great deal of sense to me. I am happy to share more information regarding either of the two consults if anyone is interested.
@@anyaamasova6607 What was the most valuable thing you learned?
@@wendyduncan9084 On the color side of the consult, I ended up with a very detailed binder of color samples all in fabric swatches. In a few weeks I will receive a smaller size sample booklet for shopping but, again, all in fabric. Mr. Kitchener explained that there is a significant difference in looking at color samples via fabric swatches versus printed color on paper. It is hard to imagine how many fabric samples Mr. Kitchener has in his drawers. All hand cut by him.
In Sci/Art I was first a Soft Autumn, then a True Winter, next a Dark Autumn? and lastly a Soft Summer. Soft Summer was reconfirmed and in the 80s the Color Me Beautiful consultant analyzed me as a Summer. I do have coolness in my undertones, but I am not cold. But, in some colors I can take a bit more warmth (slightly.) This nuance is not available in the formulaic systems.
And, in the Essence Consultation, nuance again plays a huge role. I could never figure out what Kibbe I was (either with the 13 class system of the newer 10 class version.) The reason; because I am blended. I am 5'7" and thin but not skinny. I am mostly Classic, but I have a good dose of Romantic (softness) and the same amount of Dramatic (vertical) or Soft Dramatic. I appear taller than I am. I also have a pinch of Natural in me (shoulders) but I would never dress like most Naturals, naturally. If I wear jeans, they will be dark wash, tailored and I will have a very feminine top on (classic and romantic) and beautiful shoes on my feet. The nuances of the blending just made total sense to me. Hope this helps!
@@anyaamasova6607 thank you so much. You seemed to have had a wonderful afternoon learning so many things. I agree about the way light interacts with color on fabric. Its very nuanced.

I enjoyed your video and the insights you provided

Thank you!
Doing the lords work
Thank you!
Lol I’m a romantic and laughed that the time stamp 7/15 is my birthday lol
@@tula1433 wow how perfect is that 😃😆
This makes so much more sense than the Kibbe System. Despite being tall for a woman (which excludes me from a lot of kibbe types), I am commonly complimented along the lines of being “adorable”, pretty, or graceful, which aligns so well between ingénue and ethereal!
I feel that! I’m 5’10 and I identify the most with the ingenue!
That's exactly me lol, I'm 5'11 but everyone says I have a cute face, my eyes are very sympathetic and my lips have a dramatic cupid arc, giving me a very 20's look
Kibbe's system is supposed to help you to understand your lines (bone structure + flesh) in order to find the best fabrics, cuts and shapes for clothes, jewelry, hair and accessories to enhance your natural beauty or to achieve a certain image. Sometimes, the facial features and the body structure are not exactly aligned, and those are the cases where the Kibbe system alone won't be enough to understand that particular beauty, so the concept of Essence will appear. The Essence is related to the "appearance" (yes, because not always what looks soft, tall, or short really are that, our eyes can be tricked by small details that changes our perception) of your shape - mostly your face :)
Depends, as an athletic girl 6ft, I was always told I was a “big girl” never really associated with anything ethereal or feminine 😅
I definitely relate! I’m 5’9 and if I were short I’d be a textbook romantic, but I love how Ingénue and Ethereal were described! Makes a lot of sense
Personally I like how she specified you don't HAVE to dress according to your essence or anything, because although I know that, I still don't feel like I fit in any of them alone, so it does reassure me when she says that.
This is so great to hear, and it’s so true - it’s just a tool you can use if you want to!
since i was a teenager, I’ve always appreciated styling and how it can play up your sense of self. never have I had the words to explain exactly what you described in this video. I’ve always felt each individual gives off a certain “essence” as you describe and that the same thing doesn’t necessarily look good on everyone but that everyone can find something they look beautiful in. this is so FASCINATING
i'm a pure romantic with romantic essence - thankyou for making me feel better about how i can dress my body now as i have always dressed very masculine - truly life changing advice x
Wow Giulia this made my day I am so glad that you have got such a positive result from my content, makes it all worth it!!!
i naturally fell into this essence the moment i gained confidence 3 years ago. i’m 23 now. it just makes sense
I realize now I also am pure romantic!! I struggled for so long with my feminine side and it really is a process for me to get to the point to embracing it ! Everything makes so much sense here, thank you for this video !!
and i’m a pure natural with natural essence. now it makes sense why i’ve always felt like myself in looser casual clothes.
You don't have to follow your type. I'm a flamboyant gamine, but I wear classic and natural lines. I hate colour blocking, and other FG recommended fashions.
I never felt like I fit any of these types, but once I heard about ingenue it all just clicked into place. I’ve naturally been gravitating to this style for years, and now I know why! Thank you!
So some correlations I’ve seen in this video to the style roots you came up with:
Dramatic -> Moon
Natural -> Stone/Earth
Gamine -> Sun
Classic -> Mushroom
Romantic -> Fire
Ingenue -> Flower
Ethereal -> Mountain
Curious about your argument for Classic -> mushroom! Because they’re like a 3rd different thing that’s neither yin nor yang?
@@sarahlelievre6391 I think it's because she recommended simple, minimal, and balanced outfits for classics. The mushroom style root is defined by the rule of thirds (so balanced), simple patterns or jewelry, and classic pieces. I'm sure my correlations aren't perfect but the similarities are interesting to me.
I love this! I am a flamboyant natural, my essences are most likely natural, classic, and romantic. I am still in the process of fully understanding my style roots, I have found out my main two are mushroom and earth. The third one is possibly flower or fire. So yeah, your correlations make a lot of sense!
I totally agree. Combining Ellie's style roots and kichener essences I totaly see that now. I struggled with my kibbe type so using the other two methods I do see myself gravitating towards the ingenue in flower, sun in gamine and natural in earth. However I personally think dramatic would be more liks mountain due to the sharpness and confidence it executes and ethereal to be more moon as its feels celestial and out of the world.
I agree, except for Dramatic and Ethereal. I would say that Dramatics suit best with the peaky sharp mountain lines, and Ethereals suit best with the misterious beyond the earth vibe, but it's a great correlation.
Just imagined the Types as Movie characters, because it‘s really fascinating how certain types are often chosen for the roles:
-Dramatic: Evil Queen/Wizard 🔮🌑
-Gamine: Adventurer 🌲🌋
-Natural: Witch 🚬🧪
-Romantic: Fairy 🌸🦋
-Etheral: Angel🌫🗻
-Classic: Princess 💍👗
Omg I love this!!
What would you assign to ingenue
@@isaespi14 pixie 🍃🪡
i think romantic is more mermaid than fairy but other than that 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I love the fantasy themes. This comment has convinced me we need a DnD themed style system lol. Imagine how cool that would be!
Well you did a good job of breaking down the essences, but I don't see myself in any of them. It looks like there are only masculine types or extreme feminine types. I only feel comfortable in clothes that are mildly to moderately feminine, or a mix of masculine and feminine in one outfit. Physically my type is probably a natural, but I look terrible in earth tones. Theories that put women in boxes are only good for entertainment really, and might be helpful some of the time, but must be taken with a huge grain of salt.
Classic may be an option for you though! There’s a lot of balance in classic faces especially if you’re considering Masc/Fem features, for example in Kibbe I’m a dramatic classic and that 100% helps me express my dramatic (masc) essence in a balanced way
@@alextaylor3850 hmm nope, glad you found your style but I feel more like a natural leaning towards gamine. I just don't take all the suggestions too literally as I am probably a mix of types.
You may be a mixture of two or something like that Aly art has a lot of good videos on how to find your body type with this system
Tom boy style or butch was missing.
@@truffaut650truffaut6 yes that too. I wouldn't call my style tomboy but they missed most of the spectrum or what women can be or how we feel authentic in our clothing choices.
I'm returning to this video after a girl at Bible study last night saw me put up my very long hair into a half-bun loop (samurai style) and immediately exclaimed in excitement that I looked like an elf from Lord of the Rings. I started to reconsider my conclusion of not having an ethereal essence, rewatched this video today, and suddenly realized ethereal describes me in so many ways. I had totally written off ethereal because I didn't want to think "too much of myself" (smh), but I realize now a lot of my features have that elongated S-curve. I definitely have some natural thrown in there, which threw me off the scent for a good while.
Would be super helpful to make part 2 , with practical tips for shopping clothes for every type. How some of the photos are only for evening look and others are only for a walk in the park, or office. Would be super cool to see the different types to translate to different occasions clothing
As I was watching I was sitting there like “kind of? Definitely not. A little bit? Maybe?” And then got to classic and was like “oh that’s the one.” I still watched through the others and I was right. Classic is definitely my essence and I’m super here for it
(My Kibbe body type is flamboyant natural)
Seeing the ethereal essence really helped me place some of my features that I never understood in conjunction with my Kibbe type. Can we see some more with examples with different skin tones?
I’ve been thinking I’m a Classic essence but what really clicked was when you talked about how they shine in minimal outfits. I had a friend help me clean out my closet recently, and she kept suggesting outfits combos I could try that had a LOT going on. I didn’t have the words to explain why they didn’t appeal to me at all-but when I saw this video, it was like a bell ringing. Now it’s crystal clear. I wear more minimal outfits because I shine in them more. Thank you for that validation! I love how well you explain all these concepts.
I’m finally beginning to understand typing haha! My body type for sure fits the pure romantic but my face and essence are definitely a mix of ethereal and ingenue based on my features and how people see me! It makes sense because the styles for those types are what I’m most drawn to and what people say I look best in! Thank you so much for this video, it’s super helpful since typing can be confusing💖
Tbh in the beginning I thought this is quite bs but then I matched these traits and features to most of the women I know and it made a lot of sense, also I’m pretty sure I’m romantic if this is unbiased of gender ;)
Nice video 👍🏻
My face is definitely ingenue. I've always been told I look innocent and cute (even when I'm angry). And at 22 years old I still get mistaken for 17/18 at times. Especially if I'm wearing no or natural makeup. Not sure where my body type fits though as I do have broader hips and shoulders (like an hourglass but without the bigger bust) I like feminine clothes like flowers maxi dresses with fluttery sleeves with a detailed or (soft) colorful patterns or lace trims (mostly the summer). But I also like wearing simple clothes as just jeans and a cardigan. Although those soft colors look great on me like a soft pink and baby blue. So I feel like I definitely have that youthful feminine essence that suites me the best, but never childlike. I don't like the very childlike style and rather go for more simple styles for everyday wear.
looking 17 at 22 is pretty normal
I'm a fellow ingenue too! Do you think we suit the natural types of clothing? I don't really like wearing youthful girlish clothes and would rather wear a more timeless, conservative (longer sleeves and everything) clothes but Idk if it will make us looks like we try too hard and didn't match our own preferable style :(
@@kezyuck325 I think that natural clothes (more relaxed/bohemian) can look good as long as you keep your body shape in mind. For example, wearing completely loose fitting garments doesn't suit my body. It just makes me look bigger. So I always make sure there is some more fitted element. So maybe flowy pants with a more fitted top (doesn't mean skin tight) so I don't lose my shape. Or straight jeans with a simple t-shirt (tucked in) looks nice. Basically all the ways to give some waist definition. Maybe also look at how you can make use of lengths. So a high waisted pants/skirt with a shorter or tucked in top. Or a extra long flowy blouse with skinny jeans. Color wise look at what shades might work for you. I am quite pale with neutral to warm tones. So softer shades work better for me then very dramatic ones. Although i can get away with a lot because of my more neutral coloring. I for example love wearing more rust colored shades. I have a beautiful rust colored flowy maxi skirt that looks great on me (as i have those tones in my hair), but i would never go for mustard yellows or olive greens. Those all fit with more bohemian/earthy colors but not all work for me. I think it's really looking at how you can make that style work for your body and coloring. I am soft looking all over. I have no sharpness and I am quite pale (but neutral to warm toned). So fully natural styling doesn't work for me, so I take the elements of that style and make in work for myself. So I think it'd keeping in mind your essence, body type and style and try to combine that. My body type (apart from the softness) doesn't completely fit the ingenue type, so if your body does fit ingenue completely as well it might be harder for me to give you advice.
No offence but you're too young to be typed
Everyone thinks they're ingenue at 22 because they look young because they ARE
if you look the same aged 32 you might get a better idea of your real type
Remember kibbe says its not reliable under age 25
@@kezyuck325 th-cam.com/users/DearlyBethany this is a youtube channel I really like all about styling tips. Very simply explained and to the point. Also someone who goed for timeless pieces and tends to keep coverage in mind for the people that find ot important
After much debate, I've come to see that I'm ethereal, classic, and romantic in essence. I struggled a lot in the kibbe system because I kept getting SD or DC and neither quite worked. I realized that ethereal is my missing piece. My elongation is far more ethereal than dramatic in nature.
Please do this with Asian/Native American features. I am mixed, but it is hard to pick one based off the descriptions and examples given. Thank you!
That's what I was thinking while watching. It's hard to find examples you can resonate with when you're mixed. I'm asian european and I barely shared any of the features of the examples she showed
Half Spanish and half black I can’t tell what I am!
Okay so, I'm *not* perfect, but I did decide to see if I could find some examples of people I *think* could fall into each. If they're double-listed, then I think they have both. My method was looking at their features and impressions, but also doing it with a sense of "compared to people with these features" vs "compared to white people." I tried to find examples that were East Asian, Indigenous, and Pacific Islander as well as people who were mixed-race
Dramatic - Lucy Liu; Quannah Chasinghorse; Maggie Q
Gamine - Lucy Liu; Kelly Marie Tran; Auli'i Cravalho
Natural - Melissa O'Neil; Naomi Scott; Maggie Q; Chloe Bennet
Classic - Constance Wu; Gemma Chan; Naomi Scott; Kelsey Asbille;
Romantic - Gemma Chan; Olivia Munn;
Ingenue - Lily Gladstone; Sacheen Littlefeather; Lana Condor
Angelic/Ethereal - Michelle Yeoh (tbh, to me, she's one of THE best examples for this essence *ever* that I can't even find another example)
This series has been so helpful! I’ve been able to determine that I’m a mix of classic and romantic essences and it has really helped me refine my wardrobe!
I'm a mix of CLASSIC, GAMINE AND NATURAL. I don't stick to a particular type always, I'm more masculine in a way but 70% classic. I love feminine essence but I never saw "myself" in it, everyone else looks great in it and I admire all the women out there knowing what she needs! ❤️

@@anyaamasova6607 do you work for him? Because that giant paragraph you wrote is giving advertisement
@@Ri57490 No, I do not work for Mr. Kitchener.
Yes please ;) How many different essences is it normal to have? Do some have only 2 and others like 6?
Wait this actually cleared up all my doubts. I used to dress in an ingenue or gamine sort of way and it would always look weird on me. It didn't quite fit me (personality wise or face wise) despite every website telling me I could rock it. Over the last few months, I have been dressing in a classical/romantic sort of way and I've never looked better. Thank you for this video :)
Best description of John Kitchener’s Essences in a TH-cam video!! It’s about time people looked to his styling system rather than so much Kibbe. Thank you and how wonderful this video has so many views 😃🌸
Honestly, naturals are so slept on. It feels like everyone just describes us as plain and basic
For the Kibbe, I always get Dramatic. For Kitchener, I get Ethereal. The most Yin and Yang, haha. I've styled/dressed in these 2 ways my whole life without knowing about these style/essence categories! And they both work on me extremely well, so this was super interesting to learn. Thanks for breaking it down in a way that is easy to understand ❤
Kitchener essences are beneficial for finding a certain style within the known lines of a person's body type. But what the Kitchener system can't do is successfully categorized the different lines and combinations of lines. Kibbe is definitely dated and has a lot of inconsistencies. But for those who are into a more scientific approach of body typology, I suggest looking into the Dwyn Larson system. She used a very thorough approach to distinguish features, instead of the typical this looks sharp, this looks soft, we don't know what exactly this is so it must be classic, like I see with a lot of mainstream systems. For example a lot of tall sharp people with very youthful, ingenue faces would normally be categorized as dramatic in the Kibbe system and would never look harmonious in purely dramatic styles. But in the Larson system, this person would be a dramatic gamine with an ingenue essense, and their style would need to combine the angular and height of a dramatic with the details of a gamine, especially around the face. We see that the possible combinations of dramatic and gamine are endless. Sarah Jessica Parker for example is also a gamine dramatic (short but sharp angular features) in the Larson system although she looks very different from Sophia Loren, who is the same type (tall with big, bright, youthful features, people tend to think she's a soft dramatic because of her curves but in doing that her amazing gamine facial features get ignored), they just have different combinations of the same two types with differences essenses. Stereotyping does more harm than good for typing the unique combinations of features everyone possesses. Her research is amazing, I highly recommend looking into it.
My body is pure romantic and my face is soft and round, people always think I am 10+ years younger than I am and assume I am innocent or immature, but I have delicate facial features and small eyes that are easily overpowered. I can never figure out essences 😅
I would trust that overall effect you create which is that innocence, you probably have ingenue essence if this is the case, remember its not about having ALL of the features, but enough that it creates the impression :)
This was such a good video! I wasn’t sure what to expect, I especially didn’t expect to be able to invision myself in an essence, I find my style sometimes confusing and contradicting 😅 but the natural essence completely described me! Masculine styles, casual and sporty, but also soft flowy and earthy. Even my facial features were described exactly! I love comfort and function so always reach for mens clothes, and have sometimes felt insecure that I’m not dressed up or feminine enough. This has helped me understand my style so much better and given me so much more confidence to continue in my own aesthetic!
Learning these systems has helped so much 🙌🏻 I always wondered why I avoided prints and graphics (other than simple and subtle plaids) like the plague-turns out I have a classic essence! It’s so interesting how (generally) we naturally gravitate toward the styles that look better on us, and naturally avoid those that don’t. How we feel (and project to others) in different styles is the simplest indicator-we just know when there’s harmony. ✨ But putting a name to our individual patchwork of aesthetics is a game changer!
I’m very petite and young looking for my age and people would always say Gamine, but the way you described Classic essence I had an aha moment! This is exactly when I feel my best.
I'm a Flamboyant Gamine with Dramatic & Gamine essences! I'm so glad I'm already dressing in a flattering way to my body type. This is really cool!
That's so great! Thank you :)
You have such a beautiful way of describing each of the types! So happy I found your channel ❤️
OMG! So glad this was in my rec. I don't fit into any Kibbe type, but I fit very well into the ethereal essence. I usually dress in vintage clothing but find it usually doesn't look great on me. I found this fairy-like white dress in a shop one day and it looks as if it were made for me! This is a better system than Kibbe because it doesn't restrict based on height and figure type.
I have been following Dressing Your Truth as a 1/4 in that system. I feel like in this one, I am ingenue with a secondary classic. Great video!
Thank you. I have now narrowed my style down to natural. It’s like a mixture of masculine and feminine style, which is exactly what I am going for. I even like the natural makeup look to go with the clothes. 😀
i'm pretty sure i'm a soft classic with an ingenue essence, everyone says i look younger and that i'm pretty in an adorable way
Thank you so much for this breakdown!!! I thought I was soft classic for a long time, but the style didn’t look quite right on me… Turns out I am a romantic with ethereal essence and that’s why ❤️ There’s a small twinge of classic, but it’s not dominant at all 🥰
First time for one of these videos that I felt that it all made sense and everything clicked. Once you started describing gamine essence it legit felt like you were describing me and I loved your video!! So informative yet so reassuring :)
My kibbe body type is dramatic classic but I definitely wear ingenue clothes. I've always been described as cute more than anything else and people think I'm wayyy younger than I am. I love the playful but girly ingenue clothes and that's just my style. I always wear pastels bcos they look the best on me, lace, bows and silk look pretty good on me too. But I try to follow a classic silhouette, keeping things minimum and a straight shape.
I think I'm a combination of classic and ethereal. Thank you for making this video ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it, you are so welcome!
Loving your channel ! I've loved to see a breakdown for different wedding dress style per body type.
I fit into the Ingénue description as those are my features. But I dress and gravitate more towards Classic. I feel my personality matches classic because I like the clean and timeless look of it. Plus it’s probably cheaper in the long run because nothing in the Classic wardrobe will go out of fashion compared to Ingenue.
Yess, ingenue and classic does look a bit similar interms of face features
same here. my facial features align most closely to ingenue but my personality leans more into the classic essence, and i also tend to dress like that. honestly, i feel i'll look silly and not get taken seriously if i followed the girlish ingenue style.
I’m opposite of you! I fit the classic description, but look best in ingenue styling!
I'd say Audrey Hepburn is where those two meet, fashion-wise.
We're always a mix of different essences too, rarely just one. It is quite common to be a mix of 3-4 essences!
Thank you so much for this video! I love this! I believe I could be a mix of dramatic natural!Definitely helps when it comes to styling hair/outfit/makeup!
I was always confused with the way I looked, some people would tell me I looked cute, and some, or even the same people would say I looked scary, and mean this made me so insecure until now when I realized that I have an ethereal type of beauty, and this was definitely a confidence booster
I just booked my package I’m stoked. This channel has more in depth and well-analyzed education than any other I’ve seen! Can’t wait to work with her
now i get it! i have a pure classic body type and i automatically knew that i look good in minimal and timeless clothes. but looking at my closet, i also have puff sleeves, ruffles, flouncy dresses and other youthful feminine clothes and people kept complimenting me on how i look good wearing them. i have ingenue essence! thank you for this video, that cleared out my mind. (and i almost gave away some of my clothes...)
This video really helped, I definitely have Romantic essence as opposed to the others I previously was considering. A Soft Dramatic with Romantic essence, interesting
I realized I'm a mix of classic and romantic, you described it in such a clarifying way. Thank u, this was very useful.
I love how you quote the theory and then give a DIY video. Why do these videos not have more views? They are stylish AND educational ....
It’s so interesting to have a word that encapsulates my aesthetic and energy! x I’m absolutely gamine! although saying this, I’m very rounded and have elements of ingenue- but I’m very much a gamine, thank you for creating this video!
I was having a really hard time figuring all this stuff out about myself, but I think my body type and essence are actually two different, which helps a lot, as I always get called things like sweetie, and am always complimented about how young I look, because people are usually surprised by my age. Thankfully though I have found my essence easier then thought, which is kinda funny because it matches one of my style roots as well. Though it was my eye doctor who straight up said I have nice large eyes for contacts.
This is so interesting. I would say my fave sounds more Ingenue but my body is definitely more romantic and I feel most myself dressing romantic.
Thank you! This video was very insightful and now I can say my 3 essences are: natural (specially because of my body and coloration), classic and ethereal.
wooow this is so fascinating it was cool seeing you describe yourself as mostly a classic essense and then seeing all the photos next to your face. you look so similar to a lot of those classic type women, but i dont think i would have noticed it outside of this frame of reference
Love this video! Thank you for the content you make. You typed me as soft classic with gamine essence. I would love to see examples of different kibbe types with different essences and the outfits that suit them!
Thank you so much for your continued support!
love that you have a diverse set of photographs!! really interesting video
This is fascinating and finally helped me understand these terms that so often confuse me. Thank you so much!
As many have suggested, you are ingenue with your light, wide set eyes which stand out, large forehead and overall youthful look. You've got to be honest with yourself and not simple choose what you want to be.
fr ! i see the trend continues in the comments.. i feel like natural had the least flattering description so you don’t see people identifying with it a lot
@@sophiasieczka asymmetrical face, average and friendly looking, of course nobody wants to be the 'plain jane' type
I also felt like a lot of people are saying they are ingenue just to look the most youthful, because that seems to be what’s starting to trend.
As someone actually ingenue (who’s 27 and gets mistaken for 13-15) I can say that the majority of you don’t look like that 🥲 and I’m not sure we’re all of a sudden all these people in the comments are claiming to. I personally see little people in person that look like myself and even online.
I’d personally kill to look a little more sharp. I feel I stick out like a sore thumb with my baby face and short height. It seriously embarrassed but I’ve learned to embrace is. It’s just annoying when you finally accept yourself when you’ve got bullied for years for looking a certain way and now everyone wants to look like that/gaslight themselves that they look so
According to the kibbe types, I would be a dramatic body type, but it's never matched my face. This video cleared it up for me, thanks so much!
FYI, I have a long, elongated face with upwards angles that are not at all bold or dramatic, they're very soft and I get told I look timeless a lot, so I guess I'm an ethereal! I also just realised why long hair suits me, and braids are always my go-to!
You might be a soft dramatic then. I thinf if you are pretty thin, you could still be a soft dramatic taking your face into account. The length does add a yang aspect to your face, even if it is quite soft.
@@wanjahe8749 It's a good idea, but I'm not thin. I have an athletic body type despite being quite tall, and I've never been told I have soft features if that makes sense?
@@rubydoo3307 I think of the natural types as being the more athletic type bodies.
Same here! I found that I have a soft classic body type but my face fits more of the romantic essence than a classic face. My body is well proportioned with some roundness. My face on the other hand I don’t believe is very symmetrical. It fits more with the romantic essence.
Same here. A dramatic body type but with ethereal essence. I have some long subteley curved lines in body together with the length and sharpness 🤷♀️
this was so interesting!! and i love that i'm looking at a real human who isn't blurred to the gods, thanks for keeping it real! ❤️
Great descriptions and pictures! This was helpful.
It really helps me appreciate my features more when I think about the absurdity of a combination Classic, Romantic, and Ingenue
this and dear peachie are the only channel where i feel like i could finally understand what to do/to wear with my face & body
Thank you so much for creating this channel! This is just what I've been looking for in all these fashion and how to dress youtube channels. Hope you have lots of success!!! ❤
That’s so lovely to hear!!! Aw I love that ☺️☺️☺️
This was so educational! At the beginning of the video I was like "I seem like a Gamine but there's something missing and BAM, I'm 100% ingenue". I'm shoock about how good the description fit me haha.
Loved this so much! I love your channel. So glad I recently found it.😊💜
I have a romantic body, gamine face, and dramatic essence. Lol! I guess the best way to describe the clothing style I’m naturally drawn to is “vampire queen”? I feel most comfortable wearing womanly/feminine but not very cutesy or glamorous things, more on the dark artistic side. I have an intense, somewhat “masculine” personality but cute youthful face
Love it! Embrace it 😘
I really am a mix of Classic and Ingenue. I have a small rounded face, but with some more masculinising elements like a sharper jaw line and heavier straight Greek nose. It's reflected in my style, with a greatly practical silhouette based on Edwardian fashion: I dress like that daily, 1900/1910s working style with a blouse and walking skirt, it creates a simple and crisps silhouette in which I tend to mix basic solid tones for the skirt and blouse... And then I put one of my haori, traditional Japanese vests, on top and everything becomes very animated and colourful and full of various seasonal patterns. I also set my hair in an Edwardian fashion but youthful, with volume at the top and the length either set in a bun or in an untied braid for the accidentally messy look that is in fact more elaborate and deliberate than it looks. I'm often told I give the impression of having jumped out of a book or an old picture, and my nickname at work is Mary Poppins. I used to think I was Gamine, and it is a style that suits me because of the mix of Classic and Ingenue, but this is more like a secondary style for me, now that I learned your definitions? Though coincidentally, the working outfit of the average Edwardian lady did use masculine elements to get the crisp silhouette, with added feminine elements on top like the hairdo and the lace inserts in the blouse.
I think this classification is more precise than the Kibbe type.
Is masculinising a word
I found out a Greek nose doesnt make a lady look masculine , but it symbolizes yang yes.
Tolerance and artistic way
It's the shape with most symmetry so like In the statues it makes you look very timeless classic. No worries. It's even cute on ladies so there.
See this one makes more sense than the first video on these styles. Ty
omg i am definitely a natural face type, and i’ve always felt drawn to, and prettiest in, vintage clothing and hair/makeup! and i’ve felt embarrassed by how simple and basic my wardrobe is, but now i know i’m just letting my face shine 😇
Great video! Very interesting! I think I have a combination of natural classic ethereal. Would you do a video with combinations of the essences showing examples & outfits that might work?
That’s a great idea I love that!
Romantic really spoke to me, I think I identify the most with that one. I love really glamorous looks and I have that kind of soft round face and bigish lips. I'm kind of obsessed with the old Hollywood look. I would dress like that everyday if I felt I had the motivation to keep up with that hair routine. Lol
I always had a lot of trouble finding out what fashion should I wear or what hairstyle should I have, I was basically born to be a gamine but I always had this little voice in my head (plus the pressure of some family members and friends) telling me that I'm not "feminine enough" and sometimes it pushes me to try other styles that I just simply do not feel comfortable with and end up in a crisis with myself and how I look in the mirror.
Usually I refuse to watch videos about fashion since I think they're mostly "limiting" but this one has helped me to understand better something about myself. Thank you.
Ingenue definitely connects to me ❤thanks for sharing this ❤ can’t wait to apply some of this .
It’s crazy, I’m pretty sure I’m a cross between the dramatic and ethereal types. I’ve always been told that I look intimidating and also like I have a certain maturity and grace to me. Opposing sides of the spectrum. How interesting 😌
the way i literally can never fit myself into a single category is infuriating at this point
Aurora is one of the best examples for Ethereal. So accurate!🤍
@InÊs CaStRo yeah I think she’s like a mix of both!
@InÊs CaStRo she’s definitely more ethereal. Watch it again
@InÊs CaStRo she's cute because of her personality not her face features
Such a cool video!! Thank you! You said you think your mostly classic, but every ethereal picture you put up looked like you in so many ways! I felt like you might be that. 😍
Thank you for this, now I understand why I'm draw to wear butterfly capes and fairy costume like clothing - I'm an ethereal! Always been an old soul!
So everyone gets a bunch of compliments except for the naturals who are just "ordinary"? And of course noone in the comments identifies with being a natural
There are so many beautiful features to each of these in different ways. Dress for your type and slay the aesthetic world, ladies 💅
You really explained ethereal thoroughly
Girl, thank you for this video
I would really appreciate if you could do a video on how to dress ethereal but casual. My ethereal essence is pretty dominant but it’s so hard to integrate in my daily style since I rarely ever wear wedding dresses 😄
So I would be really happy if you could show us more „muted down“ actually wearable examples ❤
You look ethereal!❤️
I'm a flamboyant petite gamine with a natural/gamine essence and bright spring coloring. I wish I could show you my Pinterest board because it's spot on.
Omg I've always felt I wasn't me while wearing certain styles even if I liked. This is so helpful!!!
can you make one video that includes every face type and also another that includes every body type? that way we can figure out what face and body type with have easily without having to watch a ton of different videos? ❤️ i don’t know if you already have one or not i just started following the other day and haven’t been able to find it. much love x
Always thought I was a romantic as I have an hourglass figure but since discovering I'm a soft natural through your videos I've found finding dresses and styles that suit and flatter my width SO MUCH EASIER. I'm also figuring I have ethereal essence as I tend to gravitate towards wavy braided hair and have soft and harsh features which I'm always trying to balance out....fascinating, helpful work as always
Soft and harsh features, yes! Absolutely also my experience. Hooray for ethereal essence!
Omg I was always stuck between dramatic & natural with kibbie... ethereal encapsulates me perfectly I literally look like / have the body type of a few of ur examples 😭 I feel so seen
I loved this! So cool. Never heard of natural styles being described before.
Im kinda a mix of gamine and ingenue but leaning more on the gamine cuz almost all of my casual wear is boyish but also like feminine cute clothes. And my facial features match the gamine more too
same here!
Think I’m a soft natural with natural essence lol and I actually love the chic style but I look so uptight and unlike myself in it and now I know why! I’ve actually started to style my hair in big waves and wear things that actually fit my broad shoulders, have a cool texture and look overall a little messy
This was so helpful. Straight down the line Classic resonated so much with me
When you described gamine I felt identified with that except for the boyish part and theeeen you got to ingenue and i was like that's me !!! Loved it thank u
