I was watching historical animations of different figures and historical beauties and one of the videos struck me strongly. I was reminded of it when watching this video. It was an animation of current celebrities turning them into classic statues/sculptures. I noticed instantly that almost none of the celebrities now are what older standards of beauty are. I would love for you to explore different historical eras and what the prized faces and body types were. I just get so sick of instagram bratz doll influencers. I desperately want a breath of fresh air. I even encountered a bit of a puzzle. Several historical beauties' I saw had a specific look that I could not type. The women had moderately delicate straight noses with a sharply defined but moderate mouth. This paired with deep set eyes in a soft oval face with high cheekbones and a small chin. But, that doesn't really quite fit with a specific face type.... ?
I for one am very happy Kibbe got rid of the link between face and body because I don't think it accounted for race/ethnicity at all. Whenever I saw quizzes which discussed the facial features, they were focused on European features have very little in common with my strong African features. I would have gotten typed as a Romantic in the face based on those quizzes when my features are just typical for a west African.
Romantic is more round shapes than angled lines etc which I'm sure you get that concept. Generally they would go with the body but sometimes it doesn't. I would just really focus on the angles if they are soft or harsher. And face shape. I have a very round nose and full face so my face definitely matches romantic round softness. If you are slightly less round maybe you are theatrical romantic. Or gamine sometimes works for romantic too.
@@Hiddenplace414 oh no I'm definitely a natural. I'm 5'8 with broad shoulders and chest, big hands and feet, and blunt features. I'm pretty sure I'm a flamboyant natural too. But I've got a broad flat nose, almond eyes and very full lips on a wide mouth. So I always ignore that part. Btw hello fellow dahlia!
@@dahliaherrod4301 I think Kibbe is about the overall vibe. I´m a Flamboyant Natural too (I ofted called my bone structure robust before I knew these systems ;)), but I do have some softness here and there. I have large round eyes, average lips, a large chest and a soft lower belly, no matter my weight and age. It is just that my bone structure and muscles are more dominant than my softness overall. So yes I think you can be a FN with a flat nose and full lips.
@@charitadeknegt6661 you're absolutely right and it took me several months before I understood that this is more of a comprehensive system as opposed to a checklist of every single marker. Nobody has every single item from a category but you can still meet the overall impression of a body type or essence
It also doesn't make sense for tall women. If tall women can only have 3 body types what does that day about our faces? I'm a 5'9" FN but I'm pretty sure my face is mostly gamine, which wouldn't be possible if I was restricted to the 3 tall body types 🤷🏽♀️
Hey Ellie-jean, i struggle a lot with dressing myself. I often get made fun for it. See, i am overweight so it’s hard enough to find nice clothes that fit me and even if they have my size it doesn’t look right. Any chance you’ll do another video talking about body types/essences but with plus size models? I really like your videos but it’s hard for me to see myself in them.
I know this can be expensive, but sometimes it’s worth it to find an affordable tailor and get a few important pieces in your wardrobe tailored to fit your shape. Not everyone fits ready to wear clothing well. In fact, I would say most people don’t really fit ready to wear clothing well. We just have learned to deal with good enough, but if it’s a formal piece, or one you will wear frequently for years to come, it can be worth a little extra time and money to have it made to fit perfectly. I use a sweet older lady who does alterations locally out of a shop in her house and charges a very affordable price.
You have a beautiful face. Don't let ppl make you feel horrible cause you have some extra weight. It sticks. I've lost a lot of weight before when everyone told me it was too much and I still thought I was overweight. Do try intermittent fasting if you d like to lose weight it has done wonders for me after kids. It's important to be healthy for longevity. I'm a kind that cannot pull off extra weight. I gain it in all the wrong places. Like around me knees and face lol i still struggle every day. Keeping more or less in shape helps me look better in clothes and the task easier. Good luck xo
I'm the same. I have very big thighs, bigger hips and glutes, bigger boobs. It's almost impossible to find anything nice in a size that fits me. I often look very inappropriate in alot of "fashionable" clothing. Best tip I can give you is try to stick to basics. Leggings, tank tops in neutral or plain colours, simple jackets like leather. I own 3 pairs of jeans, one in light blue, one darker blue and a black. It's just tricky to find a pair that fit. So try on as many as you can. Build up your wardrobe with affordable basics first. Then look at other pieces.
i'm also a soft classic with a soft classic face. it's a pretty recognizable face type, even across different ethnicities! everything so dead in the middle, body and face-wise, that it took me ages to figure out my kibbe type bc nothing stood out.
I'm pretty sure your body type helps you choose shapes that fit you, while your face and essence influences what styles will match. Then your season will help you choose a colour palette, and these 3 factors combined with your character and preferences should be that ideal wardrobe that's 100% unique and personal to you.
I think this just gives you more room to play. Zendaya is a great example of this. She’s a dramatic with a gamine face and she dabbles in styles and haircuts from both body types. I would say her silhouettes tend to ere more on the dramatic side, but she color blocks a lot, and has waist emphasis in lots of outfits both of which are very gamine. She also flips back and forth between different hairstyles too. So I think if you’re like that, you get to play around a bit, which is fun!
This video is very helpful! I can see why facial focus can skew your body type results. Faces are so important for finding color season, so you have to switch gears when trying to determine your body type. Edit: I have a dramatic classic face, imo. Everything is balanced, but I have some sharpness in my lips, nose, and cheekbones, and I have large eyes, a slightly blunt but angular jaw, and moderate forehead. My face shape is square. I am pretty sure that I am a dramatic classic body type as well. My test results are pretty even between dramatic and classic. Essence is a tough one for me, but from what others have told me, I think that may be classic too.
I'm Theatrical Romantic body type, and I have the same facial features for the TR type of the lush softness combined with the sharpness; sharp jaw line, large eyes, and lush lips. I'm not sure what my essence is though, would love to know! :)
I think I have a soft natural face. Strong, square jaw and rectangular face shape, but soft and somewhat full lips, very rounded and somewhat dominant nose, moderate eyes, moderate cheekbones and high forehead. Still have to look into my body type. This stuff is fascinating! I am also still unsure of my coloring. When I was much younger, I had some kind of professional try to determine my color season, and they and everyone else that was with us had a really hard time. If I had to choose now, I would say somewhere around a muted autumn or muted summer.
I’m so happy that the connection isn’t there anymore because that was the thing confusing me for a long time. My body is a clear soft dramatic my not my face. I have normal/small eyes and normal/thin lips, but sharp and prominent cheekbones and a small nose. I don’t know what my face is really, maybe classic or soft classic? This has been such a ride. And I don’t know how to dress haha Body- soft dramatic Face- classic/soft classic Essence - romantic and classic Colours - light spring 😅
My body type is soft classic but my face is soft dramatic, which I think is why I had a hard time finding my type. I have a diamond shaped head with high cheekbones, big wide set almond eyes, a roundish but straight nose, and a sharp Cupid’s bow. My features are pretty angular but people always notice my bone structure/cheekbones first. Very Scandinavian/Eastern European looking.
I think I’m the same, but I’m still unsure. Although lately, I think I have a soft classic body and dramatic classic face. I keep getting the classic type on the kibbe test (mostly C‘s), but I have a lot of D answers for flesh and some facial features and several B’s for body structure and facial bones. I do have a medium-sized face, starting as oval from the top down, but with some slight bluntness in the jawline, I have a medium-sized narrow straight nose looking from the front but with a bump looking on the profile (due to a minor trauma in childhood) and the tip tends to get wide when I smile. My cheekbones are not huge but are defined enough and are more noticeable because I don’t have too much flesh on top (nor too little). My eyes, however, are big and almond-shaped, hooded. My lips are moderate, with some Cupid‘s bow definition, definitely not too thin, nor lush and sensual. I hope I have finally found my type because of these discrepancies between face and body. How do you style so that those features of your face complement your body?
Not all gamines have big eyes, I think it's more about the mixture of different features and compact size. For instance, I'm a soft gamine and I have small sharp eyes and small but lush nose and lips- it's what made it so difficult for me to put myself into that category. I thought I was theatrical romantic for the longest time, but I realised that fully glamorous makeup and hairstyles are a little much for me.
It's funny how difficult it is to be objective about ourselves. Just saw your YT profile photo and your video, and believe me: your eyes are NOT small and sharp :-)
@@martaxo1625 Just saw this comment...without makeup they are...but I used to do my makeup in a way that would make them look a lot larger than they are and also hide the fact that they are hooded. Lately, I've been embracing my features and wearing less makeup, but it's surprising what you can change about your face with makeup.
@Pamela Falls Haha, I wish! I love the dramatic style but it doesn't work on me unfortunately Too overwhelming. I've been experimenting and what seems to work best is an ingenue, romantic and gamine mix in terms of essence
I used to debate my body type all the time cause my face is either flamboyant gamine or dramatic (honestly I can’t tell) Pointy chin long face, small lips and small almond eyes. Only my nose is round but it’s small. Based on my face people usually think I’m younger than I am. But my body is def flamboyant natural. I have ethereal/ natural essence so that’s how I’ve found harmony with my face/ body
I thought DK dropped the faces bcos ppl are particularly bad at analysing faces for his system. It’s too nuanced- so he still uses them but suggests ppl just to focus on bodies. Fun video though. I have such a typical SD face. Sharp high cheek bones, sharp Nordic nose. Slightly rounded almond eyes and lush lips lol. It’s very textbook
I thought he stopped using faces because so many people (ie. celebrities) have had cosmetic procedures that alter their facial features, so you can't tell where they naturally fall on the Yin/Yang scaleby their faces... For us regular people though, it's a different story! 😄
@@frangipanisandgirl that’s a great point too. I hadn’t heard that but it makes perfect sense. Lots of non famous people get lots of work done too- so perhaps it’s for the best lol
I agree. I think if you’re unsure if you’re one type or another, the face can tip the scale for you. Or if you are clear on your body type but still feel like theres just a hint of something you cant quite put your finger on, your face and hair can be the source of that essence you’re trying to identify. I was sure I was a natural and yet I felt some tension in certain areas and found I didn’t really like what would be prescribed for a natural. For a while I thought maybe I leaned towards a classic somehow …. Anyhow. After studying the essences more closely, I realized that while I am not especially tall or long, I have more dramatic essence in my face that pulls my overall best style over to the flamboyant natural end of things. I need that extra bit of oomph in my style. I need a little bit more yang. Something in my outfit needs to be quite strong and while I cannot carry off wild patterns, when I have some touch of the dramatic somewhere in my outfit, suddenly it all makes sense and pops. If I try to do a purely classic look, I look strangled by my clothes and oddly proportioned. The minute I untuck the shirt and dishevel my hair, BAM, now we’re talking. The classic bit I detect in there has to do more with the colour palate and the need for a bit of tailoring in every outfit. A dramatic line with a touch of classic tailoring all in an easy natural way is the magic mix for me. It’s all really fascinating to see it work.
Разликата между тяло и лице може да бъде много объркваща! Преди време бях попаднала на една френска актриса в сериал, която имаше лице като на Одри Хепбърн, но пък беше много висока и атлетична с фигура като на Синди Крауфорд. Всеки път, когато сменяха кадъра от лицето към тялото, леко се сепвах. Но пък именно това я правеше толкова интересна според мен :)
I find myself between a Flamboyant Natural and flamboyant gamine. I find I have some larger features than others but I do have a high cheek bone with a sharper jawline. I have never found a way to look at my face and understand it for makeup, so this was very helpful !
I’m definitely a gamine but deciding which kind is one of my biggest struggles. There are so many opposites and I feel like each day or on each outfit I can see them in different ways in myself. Comparing myself to others doesn’t really work because no two people are alike, especially gamines. 😅 I lean toward soft because I think I look best with waist emphasis and I don’t have any especially sharp or boyish facial features but I also have some elongation to my arms and legs and very sharp knees, wrists and ankles, so it’s a little hard to tell. I just go with dressing how I like and kind of take from all of these advice tips with a grain of salt. 🤷♀️
You correctly typed me as a soft natural! Honestly, I begrudge that and have struggled to accept it. But I have a romantic face and a romantic essence.
I’m pretty convinced I’m SN! I have a blunt jaw and soft features, and I have curve and width in my body, but I think I’m just at the cut off with height at 5’7, which I find confusing, because I’m definitely not a FN.
Christina Ricci has had a nose job augmenting the gamine affect. Her face didn’t look as gamine when we were kids. She’s my age and I used to get told I looked like her all the time before the nose job. I’m romantic with a little gamine in my face but not as dramatic as it would be if I had a nose job.
The thing with using celebrities as examples is that plastic surgery is almost always present With all the jaw and cheeks implants even those that are customize the changes in the structure are quite evident
A question: why is Jennifer Lopez soft natural? She is often used in typing videos and I find her always a bit confusing. Is it just the makeup that gives her a dramatic look? I like your videos. They are fun and informative. Thanks for sharing your interest in style with us!
I definitely think I have a romantic body type (short height, curvy hourglass, always 'fleshy' even when thin, rounded shoulders etc.) but ive often been told from certain angles I look a lot like taylor swift (and not just because I have curly hair like she had back when she was starting out!) Similar high, prominent cheekbones, similar sharp nose, and almond eyes though i have larger eyes but smaller, thinner lips (with that cupids bow!). So if I'm anything like Taylor, it's possible I have a romantic body and a soft dramatic face-- not exactly a harmonious match 😆
I’m such a soft natural! I have the soft natural face ( long, with high cheekbones and soft jawline),small eyes and soft delicate nose. I think it’s the proportions which are similar ( Jane Fonda, Molly, Katy Perry). Once I saw their faces i was like no way I’m not sn
Hi! Nice video :) I think, I have a soft classic body and Ingenue face. I always get compliments on how sweet, girly and dainty(but still very proportional) I look.
I'm a dramatic classic but I think my face is closer to a flamboyant natural. I have big eyes, a wide button nose and blunt jawline. I usually wear my hair neat and straight but when it has volume and movement people tell me it looks much better.
Now I'm sooo confuse. Cause I have quite short limbs and don't look long at all, but my face matches quite well with the soft dramatic examples (in the profile picture not as much as in real life) I'm also confuse with the body tipe thing, since the general description matches soft natural, but I look overwhelmed im things like puffy sleeves or other boho styles
@@sobean9309 thank you. Yeah that seems like it would work. It's interesting because I think I might have been a romantic if I wasn't so tall, and I like things that are recommended to them (I like delicate jewellery, but SD's are told to go for large chunky jewellery). I need to work out my essence too. If its gamine or something else totally different to the others I will flip the table lol
After much consideration, I have definitely come to the conclusion that I am a Dramatic Clasic! thank you so much for your videos, they're nice to watch and so explicative!
I think I'm a flamboyant natural(1,80 cm, blunt bones in the body, in my face I have a iregularity, my face is asymetrical). I actually have very big features, big round eyes, blunt nose, my jaw is kind of blund( I think I tend a bit twards dramatic, but very slightly), but I have a very tiny waist and tiny feet and tiny hands, but blunt, which is wierd ) :))) I really like your theory on root style, I think I have a stone, earth, masroom( and I sometimes, depending on the ocasion and season, combine with a bit of flower and fire, even tho it's sounds contradictory, it's not I swear :))) ) . Thank you for your work. It's amazing! ✨🙀❤️❤️
I'm a romantic with a dramatic face. I've scrutinised myself to death and that's all it can feasibly be. Not a theatrical romantic face, I'm literally gaunt lol. But I guess the overall vibe is theatrical romantic. Is this possible?
Mmm I'm not sure since I'm not expert but is it possible that your body type is actually soft dramatic? Soft dramatics are naturally curvaceous similarly to romantics, they're dramatics with a romantic undercurrent, the big difference is on the bone structure and on the vertical line (which I think is basically whether you look long and tall, or short and petite). I'm mentioning this because I had trouble differenciating the two, and it makes more sense that way since that way there's not such a huge contrast between face and body type (extreme yang face and extreme yin body).
What's your height? I'm 5'11". No one will ever mistake me for anything other than the Soft Dramatic I am. I have the long, narrow hands, feet, and limbs that I'm supposed to have but a fleshy body type...and the large eyes and high cheekbones and sharp nose and chin of a Soft Dramatic. I quite resemble statues of Athena...and Takis Musinedez of the National Greek Theater cast me as Athena, saying "No one but you can be Athena!"
The face type has always been a mystery to me. I've got a mix of elongated and soft facial features, but my nose and natural brows are blunt. I know for a fact I'm not FN though, I found Kibbe because the FN lines I spent most of my teens and twenties following didn't work for me.
Thank you for your content so much! I'd be very very thankful and interessted in a quiz similar to the one for your style roots in which by asking questions about your facial features ( rather sharp/soft etc) you can find out about your face type...idk why, it's so freaking hard to tell for me! Sometimes I feel like I have some yang dominance, then again I find it kinda in the middle (classic)....ahhh help! :D
If I were going off of my face alone, I'd have to pick either FG or TR. My face is short, sort of heart-shaped, but not as sharp as most hearts, slightly more rounded. I have high and prominent cheekbones, but a lot of softness to the face and cheek apples, giving me a softer look. That said, I'm 5'6, and I'm muscular, and very curvaceous on top of that, so I'd say I'm built like a truck, but the kind of truck that's aspirations. While I did entertain FN, any natural style, whether it comes to lines or essence is probably my worst look, right along with classic or ethereal, so I dismissed it, and I'm going with SD. My essence is either DGI or RGI.
I'm confused because I have a round face, soft nose lush lips, and a pure romantic body type as well the only thing is that my eyes are not round I have a natural cat eye shape so does that change it ?
I have a dramatic face . Sharp. Chiseled. High cheek bones. And a romantic body. They don’t fit together at all 😂. I just have full lips that’s the only outlier on my face that matches my body
This what I was told after measurements and photo analysis by ai and not a professional but It had all my proportions . Kibbe Soft Natural or Soft Classic: Soft Natural: Soft, slightly rounded features, balanced proportions, moderate bone structure, and gentle curves. Soft Classic: Balanced facial features with softly defined bone structure, slightly rounded edges, and moderate to small features. Kitchener Romantic-Classic: Romantic-Classic: Delicate and feminine facial features, rounded edges, soft jawline, and full lips. Balanced proportions with a hint of softness and grace. McJimsey Gamine-Romantic: Gamine-Romantic: Petite and delicate facial features with a hint of softness, slightly rounded cheeks, and a youthful appearance. Expressive eyes and lips. BrynLinski Elegant-Romantic: Elegant-Romantic: Graceful and refined facial features with softly defined bone structure, gentle curves, and an overall elegant appearance. Balanced proportions and a sense of sophistication. Color Analysis Deep Autumn: Deep Autumn: Warm undertones with rich, earthy hues. Skin may have golden or peachy undertones, and eyes and hair often feature deep, warm colors like dark brown, red, or auburn. Body Shape Hourglass or Cuddle Hourglass: Hourglass or Cuddle Hourglass: Balanced proportions with a defined waist, full bust, and hips of similar width. Soft curves and a feminine silhouette. Dressing Your Truth Type 2/Type 3 Blend: Type 2/Type 3 Blend: Softly defined facial features with a mix of yin and yang qualities. Balanced bone structure with a hint of angularity, combined with a sense of softness and grace. Overall, these style profiles and characteristics suggest a blend of softness, femininity, and elegance in both facial and body features, with a preference for warm, rich colors and balanced proportions. Still unsure what that looks like in practice. I’m playing around with all of it. I’ve been diving into the deep autumn and enjoying it being my season. I’d like to understand more of the body profiles and see if this accurate . It’d be fun to try these out as I learn.
I have a Romantic body type very clearly but my face seems to reflect Soft Dramatic a lot. I always feel like the structure of my face ruins the looks I try to do so that makes sense.
Your comment about a sharp cupid's bow just clicked in my brain. I have pretty full lips (for a Caucasian woman) and so I always thought they were round. But I have a hella sharp cupid's bow. So that makes sense.
I know my face is more FN/D even though I'm SN :) which is why I wear quite a lot of D essence clothing with slight cut modifications for my height + curve.
Thank you, this is so interesting!! I’m a FN and have struggled to figure out my face type and essence SO much. I feel like I hit a lot of the FN face points, but I have a very sharp chin, especially in profile. My face is an elongated diamond shape with large and rounded eyes and lips and a soft at the tip, slightly hooked, and elongated (Italian) nose. I thought maybe dramatic but think I’m too fleshy and features-forward. I related to some of the shapes in the TR section but am not sure if that’s possible considering my features are quite large? 😅 maybe it’s just my essences. Someday I’ll save up and have you type me! Thanks for another great video!!
Hi, just because you asked in a different video about MBTI: your tendency to make spreadsheets sounds a bit more like extroverted thinking than interoverted thinking, and the way you speak sounds a lot like extroverted intuition rather than introverted intuition (the way you sometimes jump back and forth between thoughts), so i would place you as an INFP (FiNeSiTe) rather than INFJ (NiFeTiSe), but if you wanna find out more, look up cognitive functions :) you might be using Se a lot for fashion and Ni to give you the drive to complete projects. Only you can say which functions really resonate with you :)
can you do a video on face essences on asian facial structures(specially southeast asian)? idk if it will make a difference but i am having slightly a hard time comparing my facial charactertistics to western faces 😅
While there's no use for me to categorize myself in a system like this, since I already know what clothes work for me, I get annoyed because I don't think any of the categories fit me lmao. Maybe if I worked it out backwards it would make more sense. Natural clothing makes me look like a lump, frilly stuff makes me look like I'm wearing someone else's clothes. Waist emphasis is key, and so are thinner fabrics, unless they're very structured. Shoes need some chunk to them. If that rings a bell for anyone I'd love to hear it.
Still don’t know 🤷🏼♀️ Looking at pictures of myself (can’t objectively see anything in the mirror) I see big, soft, round features. My eyes are very prominent, above average in size and quite round. Slightly protruding. My nose is short and quite wide with a very round tip that points every so slightly upwards. My chin is slightly sharp and quite protruding. My mouth is small, lips neither full nor thin. High forehead, and high but soft cheekbones. In my teens and early 20’s I had noticeably soft cheeks and fleshy cheekbones, but now that I’ve been through two pregnancies I’ve lost that youthful sort of fleshiness. I honestly don’t know! Same with my body. May be classic, may be TR. Used to be sure about TR but I can’t see myself objectively any more. I do know, however, that my body and face very much look like they were drawn by the same artist so to speak. More on the yin side.
I’m no expert, but from your profile photo you give me instant gamine vibes. You seem very bubbly and fairy like and your eyes stand out. I don’t think you’ve lost your youthful glow at all! 🧚♀️
@@MassielMancebo Aw, that’s very sweet of you! The thing that makes me unsure about having a gamine face is that my face isn’t very petite. On the opposite my facial features are on the bigger side…
I am theatrical Romantic in the Kibbe system (body and face) and my essences are mostly Classic and Romantic, but I have a bit of Ingenue or Ethereal, I'm not really sure which.
Kibbe always leaves me more confused. Lol is that a hint in itself? I hover between FN and SN…but maybe some classic essence is throwing me off? So confused. My face is more FN and honestly I do look better when dressing for my frame, but the curve on the bottom makes that tricky sometimes. 😂
Aaaaah I’m so confused. I’ve been told that I look like Audrey Hepburn but idk if I’m gamine cause my face is more soft and round compared to her. I definitely have cheeks even at my thinnest. But I don’t have full lips. So my eyes tend to be the focal point of my face. I also don’t have defined cheek bones
Ohhhh this was so rivealing! My face is not "literally" G or I, but I still give the impression to look younger and cute. So I think that I have G or I essence, but they are not my kibbe face type :) (Still I look very good in both FG and DC outfits. Maybe I have DC body type and face with G essence?)
It's funny for me that my upper lip is very similar to Taylor's, with the cupid bow very sharp and I have always tried to make it look a little softer with makeup. I guess we all like what we don't have 🤷🏻♀️
Mine is also like that but I love it. My mon used yo tell me that I had to change it with my Lipstick but I never did it. Now my son has my lip shape and my cupid bow.
I'm a soft natural but I have the facial features of a flamboyant natural... My mom is also a soft natural and has even sharper face features than me... My essence is for sure a mix of natural+ingenue...
Great video and helpful with the lines💗I need direction as I’m quite confused on my Kibbe face type though. I’m a 5’4 delicate petite with fleshy arms. In my face and body I see both Gamine and Soft Natural.
I've been trying to figure this out for a YEAR and everything I learn is just more confusing. When I post in groups specifically for Kibbe or Kitchener, no one has been able to help me with it either :((
I still have no idea what I am, 😩 I think I’d need someone who’s never seen my face before to tell me - after seeing the same face in the mirror all the years, and being so used to it, nothing really stands out.
I feel Like flamboyant naturals don’t get their due for how diverse their faces and style can be. Blake lively, Charlize Theron, Naomi Campbell, Issa Rae, Solange Knowles, Candace Swanepoel, Jazmine Sullivan. All very different faces and vibes
This is helpful. I’m pretty sure that my body leans more Romantic than Theatrical Romantic (I don’t have narrow shoulders and I never select the Dramatic options on any of the quizzes); however, my face is much more Theatrical Romantic.
So I know this isn't about Kitchener's essences BUT if I am a Kibbe flamboyant natural but have a more soft natural face (high cheekbones but full cheeks, blunt chin and jaw, rounded and slightly wide button nose, almond eyes, fuller lips) would that be a combo of natural and romantic essences or natural and ingenue?
Mmmh I'm confused I don't really know what kind of face type will i have based on this sistem ..... I have large eyes, mouth nose and brows for my face pad but still I feel there is a little sharpness peaking through..... the only way I can describe it or compared it will be kind of similar looking to the Olsen twins facial features ( before surgery) but making them the tiniest bit sharper except in the bones structure 🤔 🤷♀️ 😕
I'm a flamboyant gamine, my facial bones are more on the blunt and round side, so small blunt chin, high cheekbones, round eyes, lush lips and my nose is rounded with some sharp and blunt angles.
Everything should be used in styling. Have you read the Highly recommend you read The Triumph of Individual Style: A Guide to Dressing Your Body, Your Beauty, Your Self by Carla Mason Mathis and Helen Connor. It is the ultimate book on personal style. It isn’t in print but it is available in pdf. It is also a source reference for professional stylists, and some courses use it. If you haven’t read then I think you would love it. I think the pdf can be purchased at Style Core and the book is out of print sadly. But the digital version is super and I highly recommend it to anyone who looks style or colour analysis. I read the book many years ago to study human proportion for art classes and was recommended by my art teacher. 😊
This is so confusing to me. Romantics are supposed to be rounded meanwhile they seem sharp to me. This is true of most of the examples, I have trouble figuring out how anything is determined. TR has lush features and Vivian Leigh is one... Her features are lush?
My features are rather small; I have small eyes, small lips and a wide round nose, so every explanation about Kibbe faces are confusing to me. None of the types seem to have small eyes. P.s. my bodytype is typical SN, width and curve
Soft classic with ingenue essence here as well :) l also find soft naturals very easy to recognize, maybe because they are the "most common type" out there? In Western Europe/the US most women are naturals/soft naturals, at least that's my impression...
I'm TR, but I think I have a SN face. Full glam looks so over the top on me. But maybe that's just my own preference and style essence. I just don't feel like myself all glammed up.
People always tell me I look like Demi Moore (and my iPhone thinks we are the same person!) but I think I have larger eyes (or perhaps a different essence). Any suggestions on which face type Demi Moore has? Thank you!
I think my face is either Soft Dramatic or Soft Gamine??? Ive a small face and big eyes and cheebones but my nose and chin are very straight& sharp like a dramatic.
I immediately recognized myself as a soft dramatic face : long and narrow face, sharp cheekbones and very defined cupid's bow but big round eyes and lips nowhere near thin.
I did like this video because I have the body of a dramatic classic : proportionate but tall and long limbs and larger hips as I gain weight. But the sleek and blunt hairstyles never really complimented me like my natural voluminous wavy hair. I have also wanted to get layers for the longest time (to distribute my volume make it more even) without knowing if it would suit me. Upon consulting a few websites, they recommended layers, waves or curls for the soft dramatics. I also love the makeup that is suggested for the soft dramatic face ! I think this shows that the way you dress your face is as important as your body.
What I never see in these is a person with true oval face, and a bigger but narrow nose. More almond-ish shaped eyes, fairly high cheeckbones, but nut super sharp and kinda blunt jaw(but not square) I also have a bit fuller lips, but not wide. Cupid bow kinda sharp. I just can’t figure out what category my face falls into, when my body is natural.(can’t see if flamboyant or soft. It’s like in between?)
Body type is flamboyant natural, which I do resonate with the flamboyant natural face bone structure but I really relate to dramatic or soft dramatic in bone structure!!

I was watching historical animations of different figures and historical beauties and one of the videos struck me strongly. I was reminded of it when watching this video. It was an animation of current celebrities turning them into classic statues/sculptures. I noticed instantly that almost none of the celebrities now are what older standards of beauty are. I would love for you to explore different historical eras and what the prized faces and body types were. I just get so sick of instagram bratz doll influencers. I desperately want a breath of fresh air. I even encountered a bit of a puzzle. Several historical beauties' I saw had a specific look that I could not type. The women had moderately delicate straight noses with a sharply defined but moderate mouth. This paired with deep set eyes in a soft oval face with high cheekbones and a small chin. But, that doesn't really quite fit with a specific face type.... ?
Could you please do face/body type for Rachel Ward?
Still don’t know which type 😂 my face confuses me. But thank you for these kind of videos, I love them!! ❤️
Same I am so lost, they all look the same to me 😩 I'm still learning to see the difference
They all look the same, so why bother?
I have no idea what I am either lol
I for one am very happy Kibbe got rid of the link between face and body because I don't think it accounted for race/ethnicity at all. Whenever I saw quizzes which discussed the facial features, they were focused on European features have very little in common with my strong African features. I would have gotten typed as a Romantic in the face based on those quizzes when my features are just typical for a west African.
Romantic is more round shapes than angled lines etc which I'm sure you get that concept. Generally they would go with the body but sometimes it doesn't. I would just really focus on the angles if they are soft or harsher. And face shape. I have a very round nose and full face so my face definitely matches romantic round softness. If you are slightly less round maybe you are theatrical romantic. Or gamine sometimes works for romantic too.
@@Hiddenplace414 oh no I'm definitely a natural. I'm 5'8 with broad shoulders and chest, big hands and feet, and blunt features. I'm pretty sure I'm a flamboyant natural too. But I've got a broad flat nose, almond eyes and very full lips on a wide mouth. So I always ignore that part. Btw hello fellow dahlia!
@@dahliaherrod4301 I think Kibbe is about the overall vibe. I´m a Flamboyant Natural too (I ofted called my bone structure robust before I knew these systems ;)), but I do have some softness here and there. I have large round eyes, average lips, a large chest and a soft lower belly, no matter my weight and age. It is just that my bone structure and muscles are more dominant than my softness overall. So yes I think you can be a FN with a flat nose and full lips.
@@charitadeknegt6661 you're absolutely right and it took me several months before I understood that this is more of a comprehensive system as opposed to a checklist of every single marker. Nobody has every single item from a category but you can still meet the overall impression of a body type or essence
It also doesn't make sense for tall women. If tall women can only have 3 body types what does that day about our faces? I'm a 5'9" FN but I'm pretty sure my face is mostly gamine, which wouldn't be possible if I was restricted to the 3 tall body types 🤷🏽♀️
Hey Ellie-jean, i struggle a lot with dressing myself. I often get made fun for it. See, i am overweight so it’s hard enough to find nice clothes that fit me and even if they have my size it doesn’t look right. Any chance you’ll do another video talking about body types/essences but with plus size models? I really like your videos but it’s hard for me to see myself in them.
Hi give me the adresses of the people that make fun of you, i'd like to visit them 😇
I know this can be expensive, but sometimes it’s worth it to find an affordable tailor and get a few important pieces in your wardrobe tailored to fit your shape. Not everyone fits ready to wear clothing well. In fact, I would say most people don’t really fit ready to wear clothing well. We just have learned to deal with good enough, but if it’s a formal piece, or one you will wear frequently for years to come, it can be worth a little extra time and money to have it made to fit perfectly. I use a sweet older lady who does alterations locally out of a shop in her house and charges a very affordable price.
There is a channel called Rose coloured Glasses I would recommend checking out. She made a video on finding your body type at any weight
You have a beautiful face. Don't let ppl make you feel horrible cause you have some extra weight. It sticks. I've lost a lot of weight before when everyone told me it was too much and I still thought I was overweight.
Do try intermittent fasting if you d like to lose weight it has done wonders for me after kids. It's important to be healthy for longevity. I'm a kind that cannot pull off extra weight. I gain it in all the wrong places. Like around me knees and face lol i still struggle every day. Keeping more or less in shape helps me look better in clothes and the task easier.
Good luck xo
I'm the same. I have very big thighs, bigger hips and glutes, bigger boobs. It's almost impossible to find anything nice in a size that fits me. I often look very inappropriate in alot of "fashionable" clothing.
Best tip I can give you is try to stick to basics.
Leggings, tank tops in neutral or plain colours, simple jackets like leather. I own 3 pairs of jeans, one in light blue, one darker blue and a black. It's just tricky to find a pair that fit. So try on as many as you can.
Build up your wardrobe with affordable basics first. Then look at other pieces.

i'm also a soft classic with a soft classic face. it's a pretty recognizable face type, even across different ethnicities! everything so dead in the middle, body and face-wise, that it took me ages to figure out my kibbe type bc nothing stood out.
If we have a face type that differs from our body (ie SN face, FG body) how does this impact the way we should dress/ outfit decisions? Any advice lol
If you watch her video on Kate Middleton’s style (FN body, Classic Face type), it helps to see how this works when choosing clothes!
I'm pretty sure your body type helps you choose shapes that fit you, while your face and essence influences what styles will match. Then your season will help you choose a colour palette, and these 3 factors combined with your character and preferences should be that ideal wardrobe that's 100% unique and personal to you.
I think this just gives you more room to play. Zendaya is a great example of this. She’s a dramatic with a gamine face and she dabbles in styles and haircuts from both body types. I would say her silhouettes tend to ere more on the dramatic side, but she color blocks a lot, and has waist emphasis in lots of outfits both of which are very gamine. She also flips back and forth between different hairstyles too. So I think if you’re like that, you get to play around a bit, which is fun!
I think the trick is using fabrics and structure based on your body but colors, vibe and patterns based on your face sometimes. When not in harmony
I'd say the same way Essence impacts the type of clothing we wear, not the lines
I was really confused about types and essences but the Taylor example was a perfect explanation for it.
Just so you know that we are interested: please make more style roots content ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are so right with Soft Natural faces! I have one and it is very recognizable! Love your content :)
I don't have a very blunt jawline but I still consider myself soft Natural. it's quite confusing.
This video is very helpful! I can see why facial focus can skew your body type results. Faces are so important for finding color season, so you have to switch gears when trying to determine your body type. Edit: I have a dramatic classic face, imo. Everything is balanced, but I have some sharpness in my lips, nose, and cheekbones, and I have large eyes, a slightly blunt but angular jaw, and moderate forehead. My face shape is square. I am pretty sure that I am a dramatic classic body type as well. My test results are pretty even between dramatic and classic. Essence is a tough one for me, but from what others have told me, I think that may be classic too.
I'm Theatrical Romantic body type, and I have the same facial features for the TR type of the lush softness combined with the sharpness; sharp jaw line, large eyes, and lush lips. I'm not sure what my essence is though, would love to know! :)
Exactly the same
I can't figure out my essence for the life of me
Probably romantic (for the softness) amd dramatic (for the sharpness) essences
I think I have a soft natural face. Strong, square jaw and rectangular face shape, but soft and somewhat full lips, very rounded and somewhat dominant nose, moderate eyes, moderate cheekbones and high forehead. Still have to look into my body type. This stuff is fascinating! I am also still unsure of my coloring. When I was much younger, I had some kind of professional try to determine my color season, and they and everyone else that was with us had a really hard time. If I had to choose now, I would say somewhere around a muted autumn or muted summer.
I would love the same thing for men!
i think just like Christina Ricci i’ve got a romantic body & face that can read as gamine. get compared to her a lot tbh. super helpful video!!
I’m so happy that the connection isn’t there anymore because that was the thing confusing me for a long time. My body is a clear soft dramatic my not my face. I have normal/small eyes and normal/thin lips, but sharp and prominent cheekbones and a small nose. I don’t know what my face is really, maybe classic or soft classic? This has been such a ride. And I don’t know how to dress haha
Body- soft dramatic
Face- classic/soft classic
Essence - romantic and classic
Colours - light spring
😅
My body type is soft classic but my face is soft dramatic, which I think is why I had a hard time finding my type. I have a diamond shaped head with high cheekbones, big wide set almond eyes, a roundish but straight nose, and a sharp Cupid’s bow. My features are pretty angular but people always notice my bone structure/cheekbones first. Very Scandinavian/Eastern European looking.
I think I’m the same, but I’m still unsure. Although lately, I think I have a soft classic body and dramatic classic face. I keep getting the classic type on the kibbe test (mostly C‘s), but I have a lot of D answers for flesh and some facial features and several B’s for body structure and facial bones. I do have a medium-sized face, starting as oval from the top down, but with some slight bluntness in the jawline, I have a medium-sized narrow straight nose looking from the front but with a bump looking on the profile (due to a minor trauma in childhood) and the tip tends to get wide when I smile. My cheekbones are not huge but are defined enough and are more noticeable because I don’t have too much flesh on top (nor too little). My eyes, however, are big and almond-shaped, hooded. My lips are moderate, with some Cupid‘s bow definition, definitely not too thin, nor lush and sensual.
I hope I have finally found my type because of these discrepancies between face and body.
How do you style so that those features of your face complement your body?
Not all gamines have big eyes, I think it's more about the mixture of different features and compact size. For instance, I'm a soft gamine and I have small sharp eyes and small but lush nose and lips- it's what made it so difficult for me to put myself into that category. I thought I was theatrical romantic for the longest time, but I realised that fully glamorous makeup and hairstyles are a little much for me.
What is a small but lush nose lmao
@@QTpatootie95 lol, it's not particularly big but the shape is very rounded and soft
It's funny how difficult it is to be objective about ourselves. Just saw your YT profile photo and your video, and believe me: your eyes are NOT small and sharp :-)
@@martaxo1625 Just saw this comment...without makeup they are...but I used to do my makeup in a way that would make them look a lot larger than they are and also hide the fact that they are hooded. Lately, I've been embracing my features and wearing less makeup, but it's surprising what you can change about your face with makeup.
@Pamela Falls Haha, I wish! I love the dramatic style but it doesn't work on me unfortunately Too overwhelming. I've been experimenting and what seems to work best is an ingenue, romantic and gamine mix in terms of essence
I used to debate my body type all the time cause my face is either flamboyant gamine or dramatic (honestly I can’t tell) Pointy chin long face, small lips and small almond eyes. Only my nose is round but it’s small. Based on my face people usually think I’m younger than I am. But my body is def flamboyant natural. I have ethereal/ natural essence so that’s how I’ve found harmony with my face/ body
I thought DK dropped the faces bcos ppl are particularly bad at analysing faces for his system. It’s too nuanced- so he still uses them but suggests ppl just to focus on bodies.
Fun video though. I have such a typical SD face. Sharp high cheek bones, sharp Nordic nose. Slightly rounded almond eyes and lush lips lol. It’s very textbook
I thought he stopped using faces because so many people (ie. celebrities) have had cosmetic procedures that alter their facial features, so you can't tell where they naturally fall on the Yin/Yang scaleby their faces...
For us regular people though, it's a different story! 😄
Yeah and I think that online face type are even more difficult than body type (for non professional)
@@frangipanisandgirl that’s a great point too. I hadn’t heard that but it makes perfect sense. Lots of non famous people get lots of work done too- so perhaps it’s for the best lol
Kibbe is for fashion, not overall styling. So it makes sense to drop the face. Including the face confused things.
I agree. I think if you’re unsure if you’re one type or another, the face can tip the scale for you. Or if you are clear on your body type but still feel like theres just a hint of something you cant quite put your finger on, your face and hair can be the source of that essence you’re trying to identify. I was sure I was a natural and yet I felt some tension in certain areas and found I didn’t really like what would be prescribed for a natural. For a while I thought maybe I leaned towards a classic somehow …. Anyhow. After studying the essences more closely, I realized that while I am not especially tall or long, I have more dramatic essence in my face that pulls my overall best style over to the flamboyant natural end of things. I need that extra bit of oomph in my style. I need a little bit more yang. Something in my outfit needs to be quite strong and while I cannot carry off wild patterns, when I have some touch of the dramatic somewhere in my outfit, suddenly it all makes sense and pops. If I try to do a purely classic look, I look strangled by my clothes and oddly proportioned. The minute I untuck the shirt and dishevel my hair, BAM, now we’re talking. The classic bit I detect in there has to do more with the colour palate and the need for a bit of tailoring in every outfit. A dramatic line with a touch of classic tailoring all in an easy natural way is the magic mix for me. It’s all really fascinating to see it work.
Разликата между тяло и лице може да бъде много объркваща! Преди време бях попаднала на една френска актриса в сериал, която имаше лице като на Одри Хепбърн, но пък беше много висока и атлетична с фигура като на Синди Крауфорд. Всеки път, когато сменяха кадъра от лицето към тялото, леко се сепвах. Но пък именно това я правеше толкова интересна според мен :)
Нали? Понякога лицата на хората изобщо не си подхождат на тялото 😅
I find myself between a Flamboyant Natural and flamboyant gamine. I find I have some larger features than others but I do have a high cheek bone with a sharper jawline. I have never found a way to look at my face and understand it for makeup, so this was very helpful !
A flamboyant natural is going to be taller than five seven.
I’m definitely a gamine but deciding which kind is one of my biggest struggles. There are so many opposites and I feel like each day or on each outfit I can see them in different ways in myself. Comparing myself to others doesn’t really work because no two people are alike, especially gamines. 😅 I lean toward soft because I think I look best with waist emphasis and I don’t have any especially sharp or boyish facial features but I also have some elongation to my arms and legs and very sharp knees, wrists and ankles, so it’s a little hard to tell. I just go with dressing how I like and kind of take from all of these advice tips with a grain of salt. 🤷♀️
So cool but so hard to know which one is my type
You correctly typed me as a soft natural! Honestly, I begrudge that and have struggled to accept it. But I have a romantic face and a romantic essence.
I’m pretty convinced I’m SN! I have a blunt jaw and soft features, and I have curve and width in my body, but I think I’m just at the cut off with height at 5’7, which I find confusing, because I’m definitely not a FN.
Christina Ricci has had a nose job augmenting the gamine affect. Her face didn’t look as gamine when we were kids. She’s my age and I used to get told I looked like her all the time before the nose job. I’m romantic with a little gamine in my face but not as dramatic as it would be if I had a nose job.
Hmmm... I think I'm a soft dramatic with flamboyant natural essence, which I think is why my casual look tends towards bohemian.
The thing with using celebrities as examples is that plastic surgery is almost always present
With all the jaw and cheeks implants even those that are customize the changes in the structure are quite evident
A question: why is Jennifer Lopez soft natural? She is often used in typing videos and I find her always a bit confusing. Is it just the makeup that gives her a dramatic look?
I like your videos. They are fun and informative. Thanks for sharing your interest in style with us!
She has dramatic essence but her bone structure is soft natural.
@@Glambunni Thanks for the answer. :) I'm sure I'll eventually see the difference.
I am so romantic it's not even funny lol but it'd hard to find casual looks without dresses
I definitely think I have a romantic body type (short height, curvy hourglass, always 'fleshy' even when thin, rounded shoulders etc.) but ive often been told from certain angles I look a lot like taylor swift (and not just because I have curly hair like she had back when she was starting out!) Similar high, prominent cheekbones, similar sharp nose, and almond eyes though i have larger eyes but smaller, thinner lips (with that cupids bow!). So if I'm anything like Taylor, it's possible I have a romantic body and a soft dramatic face-- not exactly a harmonious match 😆
I’m such a soft natural! I have the soft natural face ( long, with high cheekbones and soft jawline),small eyes and soft delicate nose.
I think it’s the proportions which are similar ( Jane Fonda, Molly, Katy Perry). Once I saw their faces i was like no way I’m not sn
Hi! Nice video :)
I think, I have a soft classic body and Ingenue face. I always get compliments on how sweet, girly and dainty(but still very proportional) I look.
I'm a dramatic classic but I think my face is closer to a flamboyant natural. I have big eyes, a wide button nose and blunt jawline.
I usually wear my hair neat and straight but when it has volume and movement people tell me it looks much better.
Now I'm sooo confuse. Cause I have quite short limbs and don't look long at all, but my face matches quite well with the soft dramatic examples (in the profile picture not as much as in real life)
I'm also confuse with the body tipe thing, since the general description matches soft natural, but I look overwhelmed im things like puffy sleeves or other boho styles
SD body with a romantic face. Is it possible to mesh two types into your style that are so far apart?
yes if you combine SD lines with R essence
@@sobean9309 thank you. Yeah that seems like it would work. It's interesting because I think I might have been a romantic if I wasn't so tall, and I like things that are recommended to them (I like delicate jewellery, but SD's are told to go for large chunky jewellery).
I need to work out my essence too. If its gamine or something else totally different to the others I will flip the table lol
After much consideration, I have definitely come to the conclusion that I am a Dramatic Clasic! thank you so much for your videos, they're nice to watch and so explicative!
I think I'm a flamboyant natural(1,80 cm, blunt bones in the body, in my face I have a iregularity, my face is asymetrical). I actually have very big features, big round eyes, blunt nose, my jaw is kind of blund( I think I tend a bit twards dramatic, but very slightly), but I have a very tiny waist and tiny feet and tiny hands, but blunt, which is wierd ) :))) I really like your theory on root style, I think I have a stone, earth, masroom( and I sometimes, depending on the ocasion and season, combine with a bit of flower and fire, even tho it's sounds contradictory, it's not I swear :))) ) . Thank you for your work. It's amazing! ✨🙀❤️❤️
I'm a romantic with a dramatic face. I've scrutinised myself to death and that's all it can feasibly be. Not a theatrical romantic face, I'm literally gaunt lol. But I guess the overall vibe is theatrical romantic. Is this possible?
Mmm I'm not sure since I'm not expert but is it possible that your body type is actually soft dramatic? Soft dramatics are naturally curvaceous similarly to romantics, they're dramatics with a romantic undercurrent, the big difference is on the bone structure and on the vertical line (which I think is basically whether you look long and tall, or short and petite). I'm mentioning this because I had trouble differenciating the two, and it makes more sense that way since that way there's not such a huge contrast between face and body type (extreme yang face and extreme yin body).
What's your height?
I'm 5'11". No one will ever mistake me for anything other than the Soft Dramatic I am. I have the long, narrow hands, feet, and limbs that I'm supposed to have but a fleshy body type...and the large eyes and high cheekbones and sharp nose and chin of a Soft Dramatic. I quite resemble statues of Athena...and Takis Musinedez of the National Greek Theater cast me as Athena, saying "No one but you can be Athena!"
The face type has always been a mystery to me. I've got a mix of elongated and soft facial features, but my nose and natural brows are blunt. I know for a fact I'm not FN though, I found Kibbe because the FN lines I spent most of my teens and twenties following didn't work for me.
Thank you for your content so much! I'd be very very thankful and interessted in a quiz similar to the one for your style roots in which by asking questions about your facial features ( rather sharp/soft etc) you can find out about your face type...idk why, it's so freaking hard to tell for me! Sometimes I feel like I have some yang dominance, then again I find it kinda in the middle (classic)....ahhh help! :D
Kibbe types have really helped me in my character design for a story I’m writing, so all of my characters don’t look the same!
If I were going off of my face alone, I'd have to pick either FG or TR. My face is short, sort of heart-shaped, but not as sharp as most hearts, slightly more rounded. I have high and prominent cheekbones, but a lot of softness to the face and cheek apples, giving me a softer look.
That said, I'm 5'6, and I'm muscular, and very curvaceous on top of that, so I'd say I'm built like a truck, but the kind of truck that's aspirations. While I did entertain FN, any natural style, whether it comes to lines or essence is probably my worst look, right along with classic or ethereal, so I dismissed it, and I'm going with SD. My essence is either DGI or RGI.
I'm confused because I have a round face, soft nose lush lips, and a pure romantic body type as well the only thing is that my eyes are not round I have a natural cat eye shape so does that change it ?
I have a dramatic face . Sharp. Chiseled. High cheek bones. And a romantic body. They don’t fit together at all 😂. I just have full lips that’s the only outlier on my face that matches my body
This what I was told after measurements and photo analysis by ai and not a professional but It had all my proportions . Kibbe Soft Natural or Soft Classic:
Soft Natural: Soft, slightly rounded features, balanced proportions, moderate bone structure, and gentle curves.
Soft Classic: Balanced facial features with softly defined bone structure, slightly rounded edges, and moderate to small features.
Kitchener Romantic-Classic:
Romantic-Classic: Delicate and feminine facial features, rounded edges, soft jawline, and full lips. Balanced proportions with a hint of softness and grace.
McJimsey Gamine-Romantic:
Gamine-Romantic: Petite and delicate facial features with a hint of softness, slightly rounded cheeks, and a youthful appearance. Expressive eyes and lips.
BrynLinski Elegant-Romantic:
Elegant-Romantic: Graceful and refined facial features with softly defined bone structure, gentle curves, and an overall elegant appearance. Balanced proportions and a sense of sophistication.
Color Analysis Deep Autumn:
Deep Autumn: Warm undertones with rich, earthy hues. Skin may have golden or peachy undertones, and eyes and hair often feature deep, warm colors like dark brown, red, or auburn.
Body Shape Hourglass or Cuddle Hourglass:
Hourglass or Cuddle Hourglass: Balanced proportions with a defined waist, full bust, and hips of similar width. Soft curves and a feminine silhouette.
Dressing Your Truth Type 2/Type 3 Blend:
Type 2/Type 3 Blend: Softly defined facial features with a mix of yin and yang qualities. Balanced bone structure with a hint of angularity, combined with a sense of softness and grace.
Overall, these style profiles and characteristics suggest a blend of softness, femininity, and elegance in both facial and body features, with a preference for warm, rich colors and balanced proportions. Still unsure what that looks like in practice. I’m playing around with all of it. I’ve been diving into the deep autumn and enjoying it being my season. I’d like to understand more of the body profiles and see if this accurate . It’d be fun to try these out as I learn.
I always thought that I had a romantic body type/face type but after taking a deep dive I now know that I’m a soft natural face and body type
I have a Romantic body type very clearly but my face seems to reflect Soft Dramatic a lot. I always feel like the structure of my face ruins the looks I try to do so that makes sense.
Mine is vice versa. I have a soft dramatic body and romantic face type.
My face types are ethereal and natural and my body type is dramatic. In my opinion it all checks out.
Your comment about a sharp cupid's bow just clicked in my brain. I have pretty full lips (for a Caucasian woman) and so I always thought they were round. But I have a hella sharp cupid's bow. So that makes sense.
I know my face is more FN/D even though I'm SN :) which is why I wear quite a lot of D essence clothing with slight cut modifications for my height + curve.
I totally agree with what you said in the beginning I have a very innocent looking face but a very curvy mature body
Thank you, this is so interesting!! I’m a FN and have struggled to figure out my face type and essence SO much. I feel like I hit a lot of the FN face points, but I have a very sharp chin, especially in profile. My face is an elongated diamond shape with large and rounded eyes and lips and a soft at the tip, slightly hooked, and elongated (Italian) nose. I thought maybe dramatic but think I’m too fleshy and features-forward. I related to some of the shapes in the TR section but am not sure if that’s possible considering my features are quite large? 😅 maybe it’s just my essences. Someday I’ll save up and have you type me! Thanks for another great video!!
Hi, just because you asked in a different video about MBTI: your tendency to make spreadsheets sounds a bit more like extroverted thinking than interoverted thinking, and the way you speak sounds a lot like extroverted intuition rather than introverted intuition (the way you sometimes jump back and forth between thoughts), so i would place you as an INFP (FiNeSiTe) rather than INFJ (NiFeTiSe), but if you wanna find out more, look up cognitive functions :) you might be using Se a lot for fashion and Ni to give you the drive to complete projects. Only you can say which functions really resonate with you :)
can you do a video on face essences on asian facial structures(specially southeast asian)? idk if it will make a difference but i am having slightly a hard time comparing my facial charactertistics to western faces 😅
While there's no use for me to categorize myself in a system like this, since I already know what clothes work for me, I get annoyed because I don't think any of the categories fit me lmao. Maybe if I worked it out backwards it would make more sense.
Natural clothing makes me look like a lump, frilly stuff makes me look like I'm wearing someone else's clothes. Waist emphasis is key, and so are thinner fabrics, unless they're very structured. Shoes need some chunk to them.
If that rings a bell for anyone I'd love to hear it.
Theatrical romantic
Still don’t know 🤷🏼♀️ Looking at pictures of myself (can’t objectively see anything in the mirror) I see big, soft, round features. My eyes are very prominent, above average in size and quite round. Slightly protruding. My nose is short and quite wide with a very round tip that points every so slightly upwards. My chin is slightly sharp and quite protruding. My mouth is small, lips neither full nor thin. High forehead, and high but soft cheekbones. In my teens and early 20’s I had noticeably soft cheeks and fleshy cheekbones, but now that I’ve been through two pregnancies I’ve lost that youthful sort of fleshiness. I honestly don’t know!
Same with my body. May be classic, may be TR. Used to be sure about TR but I can’t see myself objectively any more. I do know, however, that my body and face very much look like they were drawn by the same artist so to speak. More on the yin side.
I’m no expert, but from your profile photo you give me instant gamine vibes. You seem very bubbly and fairy like and your eyes stand out. I don’t think you’ve lost your youthful glow at all! 🧚♀️
@@MassielMancebo Aw, that’s very sweet of you! The thing that makes me unsure about having a gamine face is that my face isn’t very petite. On the opposite my facial features are on the bigger side…
I am theatrical Romantic in the Kibbe system (body and face) and my essences are mostly Classic and Romantic, but I have a bit of Ingenue or Ethereal, I'm not really sure which.
Flamboyant Natural here, face and body.
I think I’m Flamboyant natural in the face. I like it! It makes me feel good about myself 😅
Kibbe always leaves me more confused. Lol is that a hint in itself? I hover between FN and SN…but maybe some classic essence is throwing me off? So confused. My face is more FN and honestly I do look better when dressing for my frame, but the curve on the bottom makes that tricky sometimes. 😂
Could you make a video about the makeup styles for the different essences?
Aaaaah I’m so confused. I’ve been told that I look like Audrey Hepburn but idk if I’m gamine cause my face is more soft and round compared to her. I definitely have cheeks even at my thinnest. But I don’t have full lips. So my eyes tend to be the focal point of my face. I also don’t have defined cheek bones
Ohhhh this was so rivealing! My face is not "literally" G or I, but I still give the impression to look younger and cute. So I think that I have G or I essence, but they are not my kibbe face type :)
(Still I look very good in both FG and DC outfits. Maybe I have DC body type and face with G essence?)
I feel I’m a soft dramatic for both body and face !
Audrey Hepburn was a very tall woman… not petite. She stood 5’-9”, I feel like this is constantly misunderstood.
It's funny for me that my upper lip is very similar to Taylor's, with the cupid bow very sharp and I have always tried to make it look a little softer with makeup. I guess we all like what we don't have 🤷🏻♀️
Mine is also like that but I love it. My mon used yo tell me that I had to change it with my Lipstick but I never did it. Now my son has my lip shape and my cupid bow.
@@mariajosemartinez5135 that's cool! I learned to appreciate it with time, hehe.
I'm a soft natural but I have the facial features of a flamboyant natural... My mom is also a soft natural and has even sharper face features than me... My essence is for sure a mix of natural+ingenue...
Great video and helpful with the lines💗I need direction as I’m quite confused on my Kibbe face type though. I’m a 5’4 delicate petite with fleshy arms. In my face and body I see both Gamine and Soft Natural.
I've been trying to figure this out for a YEAR and everything I learn is just more confusing.
When I post in groups specifically for Kibbe or Kitchener, no one has been able to help me with it either :((
I think it's Soft Gamine? I still get war flashbacks to when my grandmother would force me into a pixie cut because my face was "too small" 😂
I still have no idea what I am, 😩
I think I’d need someone who’s never seen my face before to tell me - after seeing the same face in the mirror all the years, and being so used to it, nothing really stands out.
I feel
Like flamboyant naturals don’t get their due for how diverse their faces and style can be. Blake lively, Charlize Theron, Naomi Campbell, Issa Rae, Solange Knowles, Candace Swanepoel, Jazmine Sullivan. All very different faces and vibes
My face type is romantic but i have a straight body type with short height 😢
This is helpful. I’m pretty sure that my body leans more Romantic than Theatrical Romantic (I don’t have narrow shoulders and I never select the Dramatic options on any of the quizzes); however, my face is much more Theatrical Romantic.
So I know this isn't about Kitchener's essences BUT if I am a Kibbe flamboyant natural but have a more soft natural face (high cheekbones but full cheeks, blunt chin and jaw, rounded and slightly wide button nose, almond eyes, fuller lips) would that be a combo of natural and romantic essences or natural and ingenue?
Mmmh I'm confused I don't really know what kind of face type will i have based on this sistem ..... I have large eyes, mouth nose and brows for my face pad but still I feel there is a little sharpness peaking through..... the only way I can describe it or compared it will be kind of similar looking to the Olsen twins facial features ( before surgery) but making them the tiniest bit sharper except in the bones structure 🤔 🤷♀️ 😕
Gamine maybe ??
This sounds very gamine to me!!
I'm a flamboyant gamine, my facial bones are more on the blunt and round side, so small blunt chin, high cheekbones, round eyes, lush lips and my nose is rounded with some sharp and blunt angles.
Everything should be used in styling. Have you read the Highly recommend you read The Triumph of Individual Style: A Guide to Dressing Your Body, Your Beauty, Your Self by Carla Mason Mathis and Helen Connor. It is the ultimate book on personal style. It isn’t in print but it is available in pdf. It is also a source reference for professional stylists, and some courses use it. If you haven’t read then I think you would love it. I think the pdf can be purchased at Style Core and the book is out of print sadly. But the digital version is super and I highly recommend it to anyone who looks style or colour analysis. I read the book many years ago to study human proportion for art classes and was recommended by my art teacher. 😊
I’m either SN or TR.
Every face time she brings up.. “Oh wait.. that one’s me.”
This is so confusing to me. Romantics are supposed to be rounded meanwhile they seem sharp to me. This is true of most of the examples, I have trouble figuring out how anything is determined. TR has lush features and Vivian Leigh is one... Her features are lush?
My features are rather small; I have small eyes, small lips and a wide round nose, so every explanation about Kibbe faces are confusing to me. None of the types seem to have small eyes.
P.s. my bodytype is typical SN, width and curve
imo, yang types tend to have small eyes ( speaking as a small eyed SN)
Soft classic with ingenue essence here as well :) l also find soft naturals very easy to recognize, maybe because they are the "most common type" out there? In Western Europe/the US most women are naturals/soft naturals, at least that's my impression...
I think I’m a full dramatic classic !
I'm TR, but I think I have a SN face. Full glam looks so over the top on me. But maybe that's just my own preference and style essence. I just don't feel like myself all glammed up.
Can you make a video where we can send you photos of our faces and you can tell us what we are? I’m so lost. I think I’m all of that 😅
What is a person with an oblong face , rounded downward eyes, sharp nose and semi full lips ? Would this be a dramatic classic ?
People always tell me I look like Demi Moore (and my iPhone thinks we are the same person!) but I think I have larger eyes (or perhaps a different essence). Any suggestions on which face type Demi Moore has? Thank you!
I think my face is either Soft Dramatic or Soft Gamine??? Ive a small face and big eyes and cheebones but my nose and chin are very straight& sharp like a dramatic.
I think my face might be soft gamine. My eyes (quite round, large) are easily the most remarkable feature on my face.
Still unsure about body type.
Really interesting - thank you! I still can't decide if my face is theatrical romantic or soft gamine... what is the most defining difference?
I immediately recognized myself as a soft dramatic face : long and narrow face, sharp cheekbones and very defined cupid's bow but big round eyes and lips nowhere near thin.
I did like this video because I have the body of a dramatic classic : proportionate but tall and long limbs and larger hips as I gain weight. But the sleek and blunt hairstyles never really complimented me like my natural voluminous wavy hair. I have also wanted to get layers for the longest time (to distribute my volume make it more even) without knowing if it would suit me. Upon consulting a few websites, they recommended layers, waves or curls for the soft dramatics. I also love the makeup that is suggested for the soft dramatic face ! I think this shows that the way you dress your face is as important as your body.
What I never see in these is a person with true oval face, and a bigger but narrow nose. More almond-ish shaped eyes, fairly high cheeckbones, but nut super sharp and kinda blunt jaw(but not square) I also have a bit fuller lips, but not wide. Cupid bow kinda sharp. I just can’t figure out what category my face falls into, when my body is natural.(can’t see if flamboyant or soft. It’s like in between?)
Confusing cause I think i am a natural body type but my facial features fit dramatic classic more
Could you speak about fillers and botox that suits each face type
The fergie kibbe lists is Sarah Ferguson, the dutchess
Body type is flamboyant natural, which I do resonate with the flamboyant natural face bone structure but I really relate to dramatic or soft dramatic in bone structure!!
