I used to think I was gamine until I realised I was trying too hard. Playful and quirky now is an accent, every once in a while, and not an everyday thing. Can't wait to see what you do with the next one!
I was watching this to see if a friend would give it a try, because I see the way gamine is described and I notice those traits in her appearance. I do have a different friend who, I believe is a very obvious gamine. I gave her a cropped bob in high school that looked so good on her, and realized I've done graphic liner on her for photos I took, and it just looked so at home on her. Bright contrasting colors. I also used to do cirque-esque makeup on her when she was a performer and that also fit her very well. I wish I could share photos! Not natural at all, but it was natural on her. Not sure how else to describe it! ❤❤
I love this series. Excited to see you do Dramatic and Ethereal. I’m still learning to embrace my ingenue and Natural essences but I think they are so boring especially as someone who loves Etherial, Romantic and dramatic styles so much
I'm some kind of Gamine in Kibbe's system and I definitely have a quirky style. I feel at home in juxtaposing items, if everything is too matchy-matchy it makes me feel like I'm wearing a costume. It's interesting that Gamines should choose one focal point in makeup. That's not what I typically do. I like everything to be bold and mismatched. A monochromatic look (even if it's a vibrant color) just looks dull on me. Some time ago I came across a video on a makeup styling system that focuses more on Asian beauty styles (8 Makeup Archetypes by dear peachie). The interesting thing about my recommended style was that every feature should be emphasized equally, which is what I have always preferred anyway.
Your style sounds so fun!! I think choosing the “one focal point” might be more specific to the makeup, and just a guideline for a fun gamine style to be a bit more “every day” but ya’ll can pull anything off! I’ve been interested in checking out Asian style systems and essences. Someone mentioned them a while back when I was doing the colour seasons and it sounded like there was more focus on how to balance features etc.
I’ve been watching your videos for about a month now and I am hooked! I look forward to your creations every week! And I love this segment on your channel! Please continue! 🫶🏽🤎
I loved this graphic liner! 😍 I'll try something like that at home! 💘 Every video makes me love your channel even more! I'm loving this series and I think I can play a bit with gamine, but I'm definitely romantic first 😂 Also, I'm too classic even when I try to be bold. Boyish clothes look terrible on me, it's like I don't take care of myself.
Gamine is where my heart is, though not my face structure. And also not my patience. I did winged liner yesterday for the first time in months and was instantly reminded why I don't like doing it. So tedious. I love the whole look you put together, but I suppose it does end up looking a bit like a costume - though that could very well be because I'm so used to seeing more romantic makeup on you!
This confirms that at least partially I have gamine essence. I wouldn't be able for the life of me to draw that double grafic liner (too difficult lol) but a simple winged liner in a bold color like blue I did do quite often and liked how it looked on me. I can see that this style is not really your thing, but you managed to pull it off beautifully anyway!
been watching your videos for a while, and i really like this series. to me, you give off an ethereal essence. i have no clue what i give off outside of possibly ingenue
I’m very gamine. I wear very bold eye makeup with neon blush on my temples and basically nothing else, and it looks totally normal on me. I was trying to go dramatic for Halloween and it took me like 40 minutes because I kept having to add more and more to it. I wound up with a black inner corner and ran it down towards my nose and finally achieved something. 😂
Not the middle school teacher flashbacks! 😂😅 I feel like I just witnessed an origin story unfold hahaha. That said, this look is so mod and cute on you!
Omg hahahaha. She was THE WORST! The kind of teacher who liked to power trip just for the sake of it. We once got in a huge argument, and mind you, I was a bit of straight A, shy type of student but that teacher really got under my skin 😂
Interesting, this is the first essence where I’m like “No, I am not this one,” from the beginning 😆 On the other ones I’ve started out thinking “Oh, I am definitely this one!” And then by the end I’m like “Eh, maybe not.” I’m trying to reserve judgement until I’ve seen them all though.
I want you to know I appreciate all of your hard work with this series! It’s been very interesting so far ❤😊
Thank you!! It’s a labour of love!
@ You’re welcome and you’re awesome🥰😊

Yes!! It’s rare people can go all out with it! So you probably having it a touch of it
I never thought i was a gamine until i watched you contour the shadows I have into your face and talk about micro bangs (which i have)
Sounds like you definitely have some gamine in there!
Ooh I love the gamine style, especially when it has that 60s influence to it so I'm super excited to watch what you do with this look!✨
Honestly those mod 60s looks never fail to be peak makeup artistry!

That’s so cool!! I love how effortlessly these looks work for some people!

It’s definitely its own skill finding ways to harmonize styles that feel at odds with one’s natural essence but I totally think it can be done!

Aww thanks so much!! I’m having so much fun exploring these style essences
I personally think you are Romantic, Dramatic and Natural ❤
Interesting! I’m not sure about the dramatic yet but I see the natural and romantic. I’m excited to try the dramatic essence!
I agree with you.

Ya my favourite way to play with gamine is just those little playful touches rather than going all out like this look!
This video series is super educational! I can read about the essences, and still not completely get it, but seeing you apply them helps.
I’m glad this is helpful! Hopefully the wrap up video I’m about to film really helps piece it all together!

Winged liner is so tedious!! Especially when using a liquid liner. Ahhh!

Ya just those fun little pops of liner and colour are so classically gamine!
I'm loving this series. It's so fun! ❤❤
been watching your videos for a while, and i really like this series. to me, you give off an ethereal essence. i have no clue what i give off outside of possibly ingenue
Hopefully by the end you maybe have a bit more of an idea ☺️
That essences series is amazing ❤
It’s been so fun!!
i love this AND toasty of course!🤎
🐶💓

Omg that is SO FUN!! I wish more people wore their makeup like that!!
❤ i love this makeup on you!
Ahh thank you! It’s a fun one for sure
I was watching a video with you and your adorable mom, you were wearing the shot bangs and I think you look gorgeous 😊
Aww thanks! They were fun for a bit but oh my gosh the maintenance and styling!!
This one was really fun as a totally out of my personal realm type of look, really fun to watch other people do 😆😀
Haha yes I love watching people do graphic liner but absolutely hate doing it
Beautiful 🔥
I really think it does work for you!
Thank you!! 😊
@ You’re very welcome. I’ve been loving your videos - so creative and inspiring.
Not the middle school teacher flashbacks! 😂😅 I feel like I just witnessed an origin story unfold hahaha. That said, this look is so mod and cute on you!

ella purnell is also a PERFECT jinx, which is fitting
Had to Google that one! She has a great voice!
🧡
I think of FKA Twigs
Ooh yes!!
Gamine feels a bit "alien". Of course in the most beautiful way
I admire those who can pull this style off so effortlessly!

Sounds like you may lean towards the softer/yin side as these gamine traits really start leaning into the sharper traits of the yang side
I think you are Romantic + Ethereal + Natural. About Natural: warm earthy coloring, witchy mind, natural harmony and wise. Mostly Romantic of corse.
That’s exactly what I’ve been thinking!
What essence is sweatpants? 😂
Hahah. Natural!!
I'm definitely not gamine. I'm not sure what I will fit with.
Perhaps classic? It’s very inbetween everything but I’ll get into more details when I film that one!
@evangelinemolly hmmm I'll watch for that.
kinda cool but kinda odd. i like it but i don't.
Haha same. I could have made this more wearable by going for a single coloured wing but I wanted to go full gamine!
I like how the white liner makes the lashes pop! Very fun!
First time trying out white liner if you can believe!
