I have no idea what I am, but I'm absolutely ecstatic to watch. so many natural types automatically assume "neutral, bare makeup, smooth wavy hair and boho clothes in neutral colors" it's portrayed as so DULL. So I'm so excited about this. 💗
I hope I did the Naturals justice! Because theres so much more potential for it & also it was personal for me since I resonate with the Naturals 🖤
I think all "naturals" look great with lots of necklaces, rings, bracelets, it looks interesting without looking too cluttered :)
Oh absolutely! All those jewelry is very witchy which looks so natural on Naturals :) its a very pick your own adventure and there arent any rules
Thank you for this video. So many kibbe videos for "regular" people style or "classy" style for every kibbe but not so much for natural -gothic/dark styles. Thank you 🤗🖤
Aww thank you 🖤 I actually don't make Kibbe content anymore but I will continue talking about essences & always with a dark aesthetic core because I felt the same, I kept seeing Kibbe/Essence content & didn't see enough dark aesthetic & goth inspirations
@@silkymochi yayy!!! Looking forward to revisit to your channel ☺️
I love how inclusive you are especially with your vocabulary
Aww thank you! I try my best to make everyone feel welcomed and try to show as much representation as I can
@@silkymochiI agree with her! You seem very respectful towards everyone and I like how mindful you are with your words
I live by the rule “If it doesn’t flow it’s gotta go!🎉
I'm a Soft Dramatic and have a similar rule to live by "fitted, or quit it" 😂 yours rhymes better tho !
I feel like you just summarized everything I have ever concluded myself, to fit me and my style??? I love all your poetic descriptions like bittersweet fruit, and a foggy forest, it really helps me to feel more confident in my own energy. Surreal experience, but in the best way
As a 31-32 year Old Gay Goth/Metalhead Male with a more minimal look this was very interesting. It take me back to the early 2010’s Minimalist Dark trends that started trending around that time, but with more contemporary silhouette’s.
I'm glad you found this interesting! I'm only a year younger than you so I absolutely know what you mean & really appreciated the 2010s dark looks of the time. I hope to convey that dark styles come in many forms 🖤
I feel like this was made for me! Im a soft dramatic with natural essence but i like dark styles. I intuitively always felt like i needed to add one natural material or brownish element to my otherwise all black gothy outfit ever since i was a teenager to soften it and make it mesh with me. Now i understand why. I used to describe my style as gothic hippie or just witchy, but now its more specific and refined. I use a bit more structure than that but still mostly flowy. I instantly know now whether a piece is "me" or not. Ive always felt like me with messy hair and smudgy makeup and there have been seasons where this was not in style and i felt bad about myself but now i see my essence and style as something eternal and unique to me, independent of trend cycles.
I'm so glad this resonated! And thank you for watching 🖤
as an ingenue-gamine mix im so excited about this. the kibbe style examples were sooooo disappointing when i identified as a soft natural. now i just do my bold lips or a really goth eye and no eyebrows with grey lined lips.
Also i wanted to scream when i saw Mia goth as she is one of my biggest inspirations especially her look in X!!!!!!!
I know what you mean, some outfit recommendations don't always quite resonate so I'm hoping to show that there's more variety to choose from! And Mia Goth's makeup felt so perfect for what I wanted to convey for this video!
Having a natural essence could explain why even being a soft summer i still look good with some soft autumn colors on my makeup? Because of the earthy qualities etc 🤔
It could be? Also you most Soft color seasons have some shared colors and aesthetics!
@@silkymochiyep!
Or maybe you're a true muted. I believe that Carol Brailey has video about that.
This is really helpful. I'm a natural in kibbe body lines and in essence, and I've always wished I was more romantic or ethereal , those always seemed to be the goth ideals but I look like an impostor when I try to dress like them. Especially as I get older and my body is more cylinder shaped than hourglass shaped. What looks best on me and what feels the most comfortable is more simple and casual. I wear a lot of dark basics (black jeans, boots, sweaters), in hot weather it hints at dark boho or dark hippie because it's all natural fibers and loose fitting.
This is glorious! I think the musician Enya is also a really good example of this.
Oh absolutely! And Ethereal in her mix
this was perfect. i am a natural/ethereal/ingenue mix with a dark aesthetic and simply love this channel.
Thank you so much 🥹🖤 hopefully you enjoy my Dark Ingenue to sum it all up!
You describe it so beautifully. I don't think i have ever seen it described so magically. 🥰
Aww thank you 🥹 each essence video is a love letter to that essence
Once again, another very fine video. Amazingly detailed. Really. Over the weeks I was honestly a bit confused about the whole overall "essence dark fashion", but you've shown so many fabric examples & descriptive adjectives that I feel like this video overall explains it in one swoop. You've got a great gift of gab when it comes to Gothic Fashion, to be sure.🦇🎃🖤🐈⬛
Aww I'm glad! Hopefully it continue to make more sense with my upcoming Essence videos but as always thank you for the kind feedback!
Sounds great to me my friend. And really the videos so far have been wonderfully described & detailed. You're also very welcomed for the kind feedback as well because you seem so overly kind. Much respect. 👍🦇🐈⬛🖤
Thank you for creating these videos! I find myself to be a unique person (as we all are) but I am also biracial Asian & Caucasian, which has given me an unusual/uncommon combination of features. When looking for guidance or advice (especially from non POC), most of it is hard to apply to myself. I also lean toward a dark/alt aesthetic. Anyway, long story short I'm grateful to see creators like you who I feel more aligned with. Great job & thanks again 🖤
I appreciate you being here & I think its important to see more POC in the essence & dark aesthetic spaces - representation is important 🖤
my sister rescently described my look as a witch from the forest! Lol! I love wearing crystals and things and I keep my clothes on the minimalist side because I tend to over accessorize.
I love this 🖤
I used to have more of a dark aesthetic in my youth, not so much anymore. :) but I still love your videos because I feel like I can take whatever you suggest and make it dark or light or whatever. You break down the concepts very well with lots of good visuals and examples. But also I love that you do it for the "dark" vibe because we need more of that! :)
I love this so much because you absolutely get it 🖤 and thank you for being here!
I LOVE that this popped up in my feed
This is EXACTLY my type of dressing and looking.
I am obsessed with dark natural makeup and clothing and decor. I didn’t even know it was really a thing because I am the only person I know who looks this way lol
Oh absolutely it is a thing and I felt the same! Its like you're either an all natural makeup look or a full on dramatic makeup look - and I like having somewhere in between, I see it more on runways, Gabriette and Mia Goth lol
this video CHANGED MY LIFE i'm so shocked, like everything you described about natural essence/style is exactly what i've preferred and have been trying to curate for years but i didn't have the language to describe what i was going for
Yess I love this! I love how you break down the 'feel' of natural essence and how the materials/colors tie in.
I appreciate this 🖤 I was so excited to talk about the color inspiration for Naturals!
I was waiting for this video 😍 my dominant essence is also natural and in the beginning I was like: meh the other ones seems more interesting. But now I really appreciate being a natural and I am experimenting a lot with sheer fabrics and „showing and hiding“. I love your videos, even if I am not fully into dark esthetic, I really enjoy watching you for inspiration. Thank you so much 💖😊
I'm a gamine and am pretty sure I have some natural essence as well. I love your recommendations here and I noticed I already have quite a few of them in my wardrobe such as vintage fur, custom made distressed leather jacket, flowy witchy silhouettes, or crushed velvet. A lot of the other natural vids I've come across gave recommendations that while they could look good on me, they always felt a bit bland for me or lacking something or not dark enough.
Im glad my video resonated! I can see that because same - I felt like so many outfits recommended for Naturals felt one noted and like you said not dark enough so I hoped I did our Dark Natural selves justice 🖤
Omg I’m dying for this. I have no clue what my actual essence is but I just love how you present them. I would love to see you do your opinion on bangs for the essences.I love love your micro straight bangs but I have no clue if it would work with my face. Anyway I’m always excited when you post!!!
Awww this is so sweet! I hope you enjoy 🖤
I came across one of your TikTok’s presenting dark essences and it’s like my brain went 💡!!!
Like the way you are
subconsciously looking for something that doesn’t have a specific name,I finally found what I’ve beeeeeeeeen looking for.
I started exploring my aesthetics and things that I like but the most prevalent one was this dark aesthetic but I could never put my finger on what I should do and how to go about it.
Im rather “cute” looking I guess and I think I might be a gamine or ingenue and I genuinely used to think yeah dark aesthetics just don’t look good on me because I didn’t know how to make it work with my features.Heavy black or darkish makeup makes me look absolutely crazy ,tired and goofy 😭.
Im so absolutely glad that I found you,you don’t even KNOW.
Love the way you explain things and show the examples PLUS you also include astrology??? LOVE THATTTTTT.
As an Aquarius stellium but with a cancer rising that gives me the ultimate baby face and cute looking appearance I felt so misunderstood (wow go figure an Aquarius feels misunderstood 💀) .
Angelina Jolie is also a cancer rising but her features are more on the stronger side but I so desperately wanna give off her vibes and Gabriette as well !
My I guess lookalike and whom I’ve been getting inspo from is Ariana grande.
Got the similar eyes and face mimic so anything that worked for her works for me too but she’s obviously not really a dark aesthetic and I finally want to be able to express myself the way I am as an intellectual and the way I feel.
I can’t wait for your other videos that go in depth for all the other essences.
Never stop doing these please 😭😭 I need to get my shit together and figure out my aesthetic somehow.
Ok one, thank you for all of this! I think you'll resonate the most with my Gamine & Ingenue videos when they come out but I also made a "Where to Get Dark Aesthetic Inspiration From" and you might find inspiration from the Haunted Doll & Fairy looks! But I don't plan on stopping, I actually love doing this so much - I am balancing a full time job while doing this but trust me I don't want to stop 🥹🖤 thank you again, I appreciate that youre into astrology as well!
I'm a Soft Natural body type and I watched your video with keen interest. My facial essences are Natural, perhaps with some Ingenue and either Classic or Ethereal. (One of these days I plan to purchase your facial essence id service so I'll be sure of my facial essences.) Your suggestion to pick one feature to highlight with makeup resonates with me. I love to highlight my lips/mouth with a fresh coral or clear red gloss, colours that are in harmony with my warm seasonal palette. I then cover under eye circles and skin imperfections with concealer, fill in my sparse light brows a bit, curl my eyelashes and use a brown mascara on them, brush on a bit of coral blush and some subtle highlighter here and there. I cannot pull off black lip gloss, black eyebrows, or even a dark smokey eye but I do appreciate seeing them on your videos.
I'm glad some resonated & I am honored you want to purchase a Style Guide one day! 🖤 I understand on the black gloss sentiment or smokey eyes, I personally don't wear any eyeshadow but I wanted to show the several directions one can go ✨
Yeessss!! Oh thank you this has been so fun and informative and inspiring! You have such creative and interesting ideas. I think I have natural essence, but perhaps with a bit of dramatic. I love to dress in dark aesthetics, and often go for 90s minimal, textures, mesh layers. It's true that if I wear something structured, it must also somehow be soft and almost falling away. I find that less is more and an "undone" look really works well . Ripped up tights can work, trashed boots, ripped jeans.
Omg did I just find my essence? I have no idea if I have natural in my mix but this is definitely the one I feel most at home! Thank you for amazing content!! 🖤
Aww I'm glad! I love that feeling when something clicks and you're like "that's me!" Best feeling 🖤
this is a bit unrelated to this video but if you ever did a video on job interview outfits for darker aesthetics and/or the different essences that would be so helpful. your videos on corporate goth have helped so much and your interpretations of the essences resonate in a way no other videos on youtube do! lots of job interview outfit videos on youtube feel very similar it would be awesome to see your ideas!!
I would love to do this! And thank you so so much 🖤 I was having a rough day so thank you for making my day
❤ this. I have a mix of classic and natural, and the natural tends to manifest in dark knitwear, jewelry, and boots since classic is a bit stronger in me
This guide is so evocative and gorgeous! I have to mention something though: Kitchener has typed clients w/ all 7 essences before. I think the "up to 3" thing started because Truth is Beauty (Kitchener-inspired system) uses that method, plus Gabrielle Arruda did a Kitchener vid advising DIYers to focus on their top 3.
Thank you for this! I actually do agree with the top 3 method as well but I'll be sure to mention that disclaimer moving forward! Although I can see how all 7 can be portrayed in someone, I feel like focusing on 3 makes the most sense
It blows my mind.. you did a face reading on me and I’m a natural. Looking at this video everything you’ve listed is how I dress.. I wear musky perfumes.. unisex leather colognes.. everyone compliments my hair when I have it up in a messy bun. When I don’t try at all is when I get the most attention.. and I feel more at home.
yes yes yes please to the lecture notes! I'm an ENC and I can't wait to see the C part. So far I'm loving the edgy dark EN tips
Classic is coming next 🖤🖤🖤 and I actually essentially do have lecture notes on my Patreon! I export all the graphics here into a PDF and you can download there!
@@silkymochi yaaaay!
@@silkymochitheyre locked..?, or aren't they free?
No it's for $1 and up tiers! I didn't make it free because it does take time to make & compile everything together, I make everything in Procreate then compile them into Illustrator 😔 its a whole process
@@silkymochi as a graphic designer I understand this
you have no idea how anxious i am waiting for your video about dark classic essences 😅
This Sunday night you shall wait no more 🖤🖤🖤
Love these dark vids. I think capes & caplets in a flowy knit material or sheer is so fun for this aesthetic especially black sheer and even with lace if the person has that romantic essence too.
Yes! Agreed! Capes and Capelets fit this vibe but also my fantasy video it would pretty much fit each one 👀
Love love love your channel I pray now that you a few years down the line get up to 1million subscribers, absolutely the best I came across. Much love to you and your future channel. Number 1 subscriber from me! Most definitely ❤
You absolutely made my day, thank you so so much 🖤🖤🖤🥹
I'm studying a lot about my essences lately, and I suspect that I have some of Natural vibes mixed with Gamine ones. Love your content
I think whimsigoth is perfect for naturals. The essence of a witch in the forest 🧙
Lovely! Pretty sure I have a lot of natural essence. My half Filipino face has a similar shape to yours.😊I always want to dress like a forest high priestess even if it only shows up in organic shaped jewelry…lol.
Then you might be a Natural as well! I love when fellow Dark Aesthetic Filipinos find my videos 🥹🖤 go for that forest high priestess look! Sounds so magical
Refering to this whole philosophy I'm pretty sure I'm a natural (who always felt and wanted to be more gamine/romantic), and as an "alt girl" I always balance between more cute romantic goth styles, and goth hippie, and more witchy/nu-goth fashion. At heart I feel like my essence is more romantic and ingenue, but I think that my face and body don't really fit into that, and so even though I love cute girly (black) dresses I always feel a bit off in them. So I'm glad I stumbled upon this video, it's refreshing and inspiring :) it helped me to see myself in a bit of a different way in terms of my style
Awww I'm glad! And there are so many ways to go about ways to honor your essences, my videos are just a start to your own journey 🖤
Very cool! I had not heard of this but completely relate with 'dark natural.' Glad to have found you : )
I'm glad you found me! So I already did a quick run down of the the different essences your facial features (its also the first video you'll see when you go to my channel) might have & how I would style them through a dark aesthetic lens 🖤
OMG! YEEEEEES. FN here and this makes me so happy! Awesome video.
Wow you made me realize I’m a natural essence, I think with a hint of gamine/ingenue or half and half. But wow I could never figure it out, you described what I’m drawn to so well thank you for this!
Finally my essence!!! I’m so happy that I stumbled upon your channel. Your presentation of information was my favorite among other essence/kibbe youtubers
This is so sweet, thank you 🥺🖤 sorry for the late reply!
Oh my goodness… I think this is me! I never could figure out what my style is really - I never really thought anything about my style was *interesting* bc my features are pale, light, blonde, no real sharpness or interest - hair just flows ok-ish how it wants - I’m “beachy” or “boho” I guess I would have said - but I transform myself depending on if it’s casual or dressed up - but I literally follow all your fashion strategies for this natural look; I look good in mismatched patterns (people are always surprised how I can piece a different outfit together with odd patterns); I love natural jewelry; I literally have had a torn-ish black and green mesh ‘sweater’ that looks like I made it from moss; I love nubby linen! I usually resign myself to just a bold lip and thought maybe I was doing the rest of my face a disservice bc without makeup, the rest of my features are invisible really - but now I know “it’s a look!” Maybe?
I always wanted to be “edgy” but I just don’t have “those features” - however, every Halloween, I dress up as a “real-life” witch by just amping up a few items together from my real everyday clothes… and I look like a nature witch quite easily - and I fluff my hair messy like I just don’t care - some reason I do have striped knee high socks, don’t know why - just seams to come *natural*
No idea why I feel so validated… but this was a cool video to learn about with I different POV than other of these kinds of videos - I’m going to look at more bc I love different people’s esthetics and see it portrayed in unique ways
It sounds like the Dark Naturals was meant to find you! I feel you because dark looks was always seen as a one sided thing but its actually so vast 🖤
Thank you for this fantastic video! Thanks to you I'm now sure that I'm of natural essence as well, I used to be torn between natural and classic. If your astrology essence reading are coming back I might purchase one for my birthday, it seems really interesting
Thank you for watching 🖤🖤🖤 my readings will be back 2/23!
Awesome! Thank you☺️🦇🖤
🖤🖤🖤
Omg im so excited your vid got pushed into my reccs!!! I'm cabt wait to binge your entire channel this weekend ❤❤❤
Ahhh this is so sweet! Thank you for this 🖤
I am fairly sure i am a natural and a lot of things you mentioned resonate so much with my style! (Ive watched ±hakfway when making this comment.) From the forest with style, the muted colours (although i am a deep summer and love pinks), the natural fivers, the slight "messiness" of style, to the casual jair and most others things. I generally wear colour but ive been following you on TikTok for almost a year, i just wanna say keep going i love your stuff
Awww love this! And absolutely, take what resonates and accommodate to your season 🖤
And thank you for following me on tiktok and here! Definitely more to come on here esp since we don't know if tiktok is forever 🥲
So interesting! Your videos are amazing and really helpful, thank you so much 🖤
I believe my main essence is romantic, followed by ingenue and natural (?) it feels like it should be so easy yet I struggle with all 3 of the style guides 😭
I wonder if starting out with my "how to find your signature style" video first before dissecting my Essence videos - because I think what helps is finding that core first and foremost because everything else will follow after!
@@silkymochi I'll give it a try, thank you!
Would you be open to making these videos for masculine/male styles? I love this series and will watch regardless hahaha
Ahhhh I love this! Especially that you brought up Gabbriette bc she is such a big inspiration to me. Anyone has advice on how to combine ethereal with natural in my style? I have an overall natural bone structure with some soft angulatity and bluntness but mostly ethereal features. Watched both of videos on the essences and found them very helpful but now i am trying to combine them! (And I am dramatic in kibbe!)
Hi! I'm glad you enjoyed both my videos! I would really lean into that magical / celestial witchy feel but grounding it with earthy textures like the cottons or knitwear I mentioned- kind of like you're aiming for an Earth Angel kind of look! Or if you see my "where to get dark aesthetic inspiration from" video I would go for the witch or fairy aesthetic and of course these are just ideas 🖤
thank you! It’s interesting because I have definitively always gravitated towards knitwear:)
I’m always told that I am a mixture of Christina ricci, jami gertz curly wavy hair I also get Adrienne Shelly from the early mid 90’s
Gabriette is who made me finally realize that I'm FN and not FG 😅 I'm 5'6.5 so in between the end of FG and start of FN height requirements. I showed my mom a picture of Gabriette on Pinterest and she said I looked like her ENTIRE face and body but brown 😂 I'm super grateful for your vids! I even bought the KVD lippie you mentioned on your tiktok vid, but I dot it on and blur it onto my lips and put Vaseline over it. Blending it out a lot makes it look best on my features and now the tube will probably last me about 2 years! ❤❤❤❤
Its so fun when you find someone that makes everything click! For me, my mom said I have the body of Janet Jackson but Asian & that started coming to realize I'm a Soft Natural! I'm glad you love the KVD lippie, if its the Dahlia one it makes me so sad it's discontinued 🥲
FINALLY the video I've been waiting for anxiously. ❤❤❤
Great video, thanks! ❤
FINALLY!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ I feel seen
One thing that annoys me about all these dressing codes is that they NEVER work in extremely cold climates like Finland where I live. We get up to -35 Celsius temperatures and NONE of these styles ever work for that weather.😢
Honestly I might make a dark aesthetics for extremely cold climates?
@@silkymochi That'd be so cool! I haven't seen anyone do that before. 😍
Can you do a casual outfit video?
Like a Dark Aesthetic casual outfits?
Yes , something you wear when not at work. When your running errands and so forth ❤
You make me want to be ALL of the Essences! ♥️
Even if you arent you can still take inspiration from them all!
I think this video really confirmed my gut feeling that I don't have a Natural essence. Crowdsourcing, it came up a lot, but I wonder if being plus size has anything to do with people's responses....
As always love your information!! Are you opening your face essence readings again anytime this year?
Thanks a lot for this video. Amazing job! I would say I have natural essence with a blend of classic and some ethereal (what I see as a dramatic but much softer, not so in your face essence?) I always found it difficult to find my style. My friends tend to wear that frilly, girly gothic style and that somehow didn't suit me. Experimenting with essences has helped me a lot. I really like the way you deal with this topic and the inspirations I get from it.
Genius video ⚜️🖤🦇
I didn't know what essence I have but damn I really like this vibe as part of my aesthetic so maybe I have some natural essense lmao
Im glad I did the Naturals justice lol in all honesty I find beauty in all the essences - you can definitely dress based on your own but nothing wrong with taking inspiration from others that arent as well 🖤
The brand Ovate would be perfect for this essence. She uses natural fabrics and it's very aligned with the aesthetic you mentioned in this video. Do you still offer Kibbe consultations?
Can you do classic essence next!
Actually thats exactly what Im working on as we speak!
i'm a dramatic!! People often tell me i look like anjelica houston's morticia. Please a vídeo on that 🙏
Dramatic Essence will be my Dark Essence finale! Anjelica Huston, Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Vampira and much more will there 🖤🕸️🕷️
My body essence is definitely romantic but my personality essence is definitely natural. Natural often doesn't look as good on me but suits me whereas romantic style looks good on me but doesn't suit me. I don't know how to mix those things honestly.
i have question: can i be classic with an ingenue/ethereal essence?
Yes! You can technically have any blend of essences - John Kitchener (albeit a rare case) has typed as someone as all 7 essences. I truly think its silly to think certain combinations are restricted from being paired with one another! So you absolutely can be those three as a blend
I’m dramatic/gamine/natural - so all three essencen on the yang/masculine side 🌚
Will you be doing a dark ingenue? That's what I am. I know most put Wednesday there... but I'm a woman, not a kid.
I will! I'll be covering all the Essences 🖤 thats why I say Wednesday "trope" but I also like to reference Crimson Peak, details that soft but can still feel womanly
You're so pretty 😍 😍 😍 🤩🤩🤩
Aww thank you 🖤
flamboyant natural here .. I have said it before and I will say it again .. naturals will have to spend fortune on the clothes that will look good (and the universe help you if you have a whiff of a classic mixed in as well, then you are trully lost) .. we just have to "look effortless in anything we throw on" so the anything being thrown has to be nothing less than perfect - which is a rare and an expensive find or you have to make it yourself form luxury materials and be absolutely perfect about how you do the making .. just be a runway model and then even a juta bag will look good on you (and yeah, all of the clothes will be too short and not drapey enough, because naturals have a wider frame) .. like .. c´mon genetics - can I please please please be a petite soft gamine? .. :D
So I'm a Soft Natural with a prominent Natural Essence and I didn't spend a fortune on my wardrobe? I focused on finding clothes with an open neckline, I thrift trousers and pants in soft fabrications and I stray away from crew necklines or anything that feels constricting. Also this video focuses on Natural face essence- I don't do Kibbe videos anymore. I used to wish I was a Gamine so bad but I love being a Natural, we have the ability to look very pinup-like and we have a frame that is versatile in looks
@@silkymochi I am not in any way trying to bash your video (I am sorry if it came across like so) I actually really love your recomendations .. I am just super frustrated trying to find clothing like this where I live for 4 years now .. and .. it does not exist .. finding ready made pieces in shops is impossible .. and if I wanted to make it myself, the fabrics are oftentimes even more pricey than pre-made clothes (natural fibres like pure wool, silk, textured cottons or linens are super-expensive).. my comment was meant to be "a sigh" about the clothing industry catering to a very different silhouete in the past several years (if not a decade)
.. I really would like to dress like an ninja-samurai woodland shadow with some siren bling here and there :)
Ohhh I got it! I apologize, your original comment confused me so I appreciate this and I apologize!
I agree, mainstream companies really cater to Dramatics and Gamines and it is frustrating but it is possible for Naturals to find gems! I just find mine in the secondhand market most of the time or from companies like Micheline Pitt, Foxblood etc
Does anyone know what Taylor Swift essence is? People say I look like her. So I have been trying to pinpoint my essence. I like a dark aesthetic though. I want to have a moodier style and Swifts examples are far a few between for dark aesthetic style.
From some reddits & my personal take - I feel like she would most likely be an Ingenue / Classic so maybe my dark aesthetic Classic & Ingenue videos will helpful when I make those! Also my "Vampire, Witch etc" video can be helpful too since I talk about how Ingenues remind me of the Haunted Doll Aesthetic & Classic can go in a Vampire look or Siren look
Thank you for your help! I will check out those videos.
Sooo….Dark Grunge???🤔
Not for all of it but is definitely an option if you are a Dark Natural! Some the looks I showed ranged from Grunge, Cottage Witch, Minimalist Alternative- but Grunge is also going to be shown in ways in my Gamine video. When it comes to my Essence videos I want to show the many directions you can go in & not narrow in on "this essence equals this aesthetic" if that makes sense 🖤
