thank you!

[@becsingleton7951]

I've noticed in one of my favourite shows, Heartbreak High, all of the female main cast who are playing teenagers seem to have gamine or ingenue essence. Mostly gamine I think. The actresses are all in their mid 20s but I think their gamine/ingenue essence helps them to seem believable as characters who are 10 years younger than they are.

[@zellalaing5439]

I feel the same can be said for Derry Girls. I originally thought they cast actors in their late teens, but I think one of them is nearing 30.

[@camillecromwell3453]

I'm really happy you included "The Victim" in the ingenue section - I think that helps me understand myself a bit better since I have an ingenue face but I also have a slightly dark, resting sad face, so I was like... do I have a little dramatic in there or what? haha But I think instead of cutesy pastels, etc I would be better suited to ghostly colours, or soft oversized stuff that makes me look even smaller, or gothic doll vibes...

[@IceQueen975]

My essence (I'm pretty sure) is dramatic, romantic and some ethereal mixed in. The fact that BOTH dramatic and romantic do queens checks out. I was at a convention last year with a friend and a booth was selling very beautiful crowns. I tried on many, trying to pick one, and I asked which was best and he said "literally all of them look right on you. It's like you're supposed to wear a crown." Which kinda clinches it for me, in terms of my essence.

[@juhiparikh3294]

Great video as always - your content is excellent. Can you do versions of essences and color seasons with different ethnicities? I think the nuances would change and it would be super relevant for a wide audience

[@SatipatthanaSakuraDragona]

It helps to be mindful about what effect outfits consistently give off when they go right and what you consistently struggle to pull off. My kibbe type is most likely FG, and my essence is most likely a mix of gamine/ingenue. I almost always look youthful and cutesy when outfits go right (which I don't like as a grown woman in her mid 40s). I struggle to look like a grown woman or refined/elegant or casual (all of which I would prefer).

[@someoneontheinternet6363]

I'm a gamine/ingenue too. I find that what makes me look elegant/refined is tailored clothing and lots of cool details! Also dressing in like a vintage style and a nice red lip.

[@SatipatthanaSakuraDragona]

@@someoneontheinternet6363 Yep, I have to wear very tailored clothing, too. Perhaps it's the details I'm missing.

[@lucy__v]

This was such a cool way to understand the essence types! I’m an ethereal with a bit of romantic and people always tell me I look like a mermaid when I have long hair or like I’m from a pre raphaelite painting or something. I wonder if it’s common to get more unique compliments like that when you’re an ethereal? Haha also a suggestion maybe you could do essence combinations and like the overall vibe, for example ethereal-romantic being kind of siren esque, or gamine-ethereal being like a pixie.

[@srendasrenda]

I think every type has their unique compliments, for example my face is mostly classic and i often get sth like "i didnt notice it at first, but you get prettier the more i look at you", wich is just the beauty standard nowadays i guess, cause balanced faces have not been trending for A WHILE. Therefore i also often get the "this picture of you should be an oil painting!" types of compliments haha.

[@AlexLouiseWest]

Yes that’s definitely the type of thing people say to ethereals. I have had mermaid comments all my life, even before I moved to the coast 🧜‍♀️

[@honorcollins6962]

I’ve always been told I look like a fairy or pixie, maybe that means I’m gamine and ethereal?

[@LowSlungBadBitch]

This reminds me of the Victoria justice meme lol but yes I agree. I get weird compliments I sometimes have to think about them like it’s math 😭

[@lucy__v]

@@honorcollins6962 probably! My friend is gamine with ethereal and she has a very pixie fairy face, like she really suits colourful eye makeup and shorter hair, and more whimsical pixie like clothes like mushroom earrings and stuff

[@NamiSparrow]

It’s funny cuz I realized I have quite a lot of ethereal and dramatic essence but when I actively smile the roundness of my face stands out and brings my ingenue essence way forward. It’s so interesting!

[@TheGPFilmMaker]

Okay I love this idea of soft cosplaying these essences. I'm natural/ingenue/ethereal :) And I definitely lean into adventurer style in my day to day wardrobe already! I think it plays well with my natural essence component & my soft natural body shape!

[@bjulalula9537]

Could you do another video on how to styleyourself if you love an aesthetic/vibe that you just not look like. Like i am a natural but i love flowery/feminine/ballet core.....

[@samiha_humayra_]

Yes

[@user-sg4ov7ng4h]

Maybe makeup and hairstyle helps no?

[@chelseacheckington7421]

This depends on if your essence matches your Kibbe body type, but if it does, then the example you gave seems like that might be pretty easily achievable via shape and paring down details. Like, instead of tutus and ruffles, a pleated chiffon maxi skirt would give a long line, while being soft and flowy, and a fitted racerback tank top that's tucked in would show off your shoulders and be simple and athletic but still match the skirt. That style of top would kind of give athletic natural vibes but also ballet core leotard vibes. Then you just have to find them in colors that are the best of all worlds as far as flattering for your skin, vibes, and desired aesthetics. That might be a muted pink or a soft orange or lilac, because they're femme but still natural feeling. Natural isn't just camo colors. If you don't look good in muted colors and your skin favors bright, look to colors that appear in flowers, sunsets, and desserts maybe, like vibrant but not neon orange or purple. Then when you accessorize, you may want to keep things simpler but still lean toward the aesthetic you like. A high ponytail may be more natural than a bun, while still being kinda ballet, and some tiny hoops seem very ballerina. If you want to do a bow somewhere, it could be with thin ribbon that would hang down rather than a thicker fatter style bow. I'm leaning into the ballet core in my description, because that's the easiest for a natural out of what you mentioned. It's a style with a hint of athleticism. I think part of making styles we like fit us more can also be finding the versions that fit better. I'm very romantic with some gamine, and I actually do not like it, as I like to have more edgy and strong vibes. I realize though that it's easier for me to go witchy than to go punk, if you get what I mean. It's easier for me to wear a paper bag trouser that's cinched at the waist with a dark teal flowy button up than an actually fully structured suit. I think people should wear what they want as long as they're happy in it, but it you feel like you're clothes aren't flattering and it's making you less happy with yourself or your style, it's just easier and more reasonable to change the clothes than to try to drastically change your body. Also, I don't know if you're old enough to be aware of Sex in the City, but if you aren't then Google "Carrie Bradshaw outfits". Sarah Jessica Parker is a flamboyant natural, and you may not want quite the same lines if you aren't short like her, but she also is very natural in essence and would be great inspo for how to do that in a super girly way. One of her most iconic outfits from the show is almost the exact outfit I described above, but with a shorter and fuller skirt, because she can get away with that as a short FN.

[@nayshaprasad8318]

what i do is just add slight feminine details into my outfits, not too much that it doesnt suit me, but just enough that i appear more "flowery." You can do this with the color, the textures, accessories etc. You should find the "natural" version of the pieces you want to wear. Like for tops, instead of a tight fitted/more ballet top, go for like a off shoulder, pink or smtg like that, so you still enhance the width in your frame while having that more "ballet feel."

[@Elena-ol8sw]

I hate being a Natural. It's just not me on the inside, so it's an absolute torture to dress like something you think you are not.

[@justinecoman5448]

I’m pretty sure I have some ingenue-classic-natural (in that order) and I’ve found my sweet spot is “girl you would want to sit next to on the bus to summer camp,” and that really specific “role” has made getting ready for work a lot more fun

[@inferiorinferno8859]

This and your find your facial type video really helped me understand my essence better then things like doing online tests, you are very good at explaining it! It's so obvious now that I'm a babyfaced ethereal- my mom smoked during pregnancy and it has slightly affected my growth. It only further gives me an 'ageless' kind of feel. I'm 26 but some people still think I'm like 17. I do like to dress in flowy garments, but mine are very colorful because having Roma (Indian) heritage through my dad's family and a light brown skin, I do look very good in bold colors.

[@honorcollins6962]

Soft cosplaying a character according to your essence is such a fun idea! I have a very gamine face but a more natural style, but I can’t tell if I have any natural essence.

Just like actrices, you can tweak features to play multiple types of roles. So it comes down to what you feel like playing and could potentially play with your set of features.

Nothing seems to fit “me” even if I mix and match them. My face is super rounded, it’s large compared to my small close eyes, small mouth. My face is wide and my jaw is long, all rounded though. I have no idea other than UGLY😂😂😂 I definitely feel the Ingenue essence, before having kids and gaining a lot of weight everyone always thought I was waaayy younger than I was (like 24 but they thought I was 16-19 yrs old). So maybe an ingenue-classic? I have high round cheek bones, deep set eyes, they used to be round and vibrant but with age become more relaxed and narrow? Maybe idk. I wish you still did your personal one on one styling I went to look for your services to see the price and found you made a book! But idk if a book will help me…

[@teodorasavova2913]

I think I have a mix of natural,romantic and classic and I can’t lean too much into any of them or else I look like I’m wearing a costume. For the romantic I always do my red hair wavy and voluminous and do my makeup with lots of blush and long eyelashes, also sometimes I’d wear bigger intricate queen-like earrings with rhinestones , for the natural I use an earthy palette - predominantly green, blue and golden brown, I’d have a very natural makeup base, nothing unnatural or too glam, and for the classic I use the rule of matching colours for example the colour of my top/ jacket would match my shoes or bag or my red hair, I would not put too much accessories and keep the outfits simple and still moderate in structure - not too slouchy and not too tight and constricted. I think I have found some balance in my outfits.😅

[@LowSlungBadBitch]

It’s hard to type yourself but I also doubt it’s the rarest. Especially because a lot of black and asian women have a lot of ethereal or ingenue features. I don’t believe all races were taken into account when that statement was made. For example you can have your big three but you can have all 7 types show up in your face too. gamine and ingenue have similar small features, dramatic and ethereal have elongated features, for many they will have overlap. so it’s about your vibe as a whole imo. The way you speak and move and walk. I think there’s many ethereals.

@bluesherbet2741 you're right, actually, but its still supposed to be the rarest

[@jessb22781]

While I think there is an element of people just wishing to be ethereal, I think what is the rarest is to be ethereal-dominant (60% or more of your essence blend). Having ethereal somewhere in your blend is not as rare. Kitchener can also be very strict in his definitions of ethereal, but I think there's an element of Death of the Author here. For instance, he said Liv Tyler can't be ethereal because she doesn't have soft coloring (I think he typed her as ingenue/romantic), but she clearly has the ethereal elongation so I would say it's in her blend if not the top two. Ethereal maybe more than some of the other types I think can come through more as an energy people give off than strictly in their facial features which may be where some people are getting it. There's kind of a grey area of "dreamy" where ingenue slides into ethereal.

[@amyleigh423]

I don't look good with a cinched waist due to my big chest and athletic shoulders, so it would be helpful to see how to work around it for more tailored and European styles for SN/Ing/Eth - not sensual like a romantic, more gently feminine and quite relaxed. Thank you for the wonderful videos!

[@minervarose7664]

I feel like i have a bit of both ingenue and classic essence. Definitely feminine energy, but not in a sensual, romantic way nor do i think i look otherworldly. I often get called cute or pretty even though am 37 😅 especially get complimented on my smile, which i believe is an ingenue trait? As in, ingenues look better with a smile while romantics look sexy in "resting b**ch face" mode 😂 and ethereals look good with a faraway, distant look, etc. I *CAN* do sexy but it has to be understated and simple with clean lines...perhaps also to do with my soft classic body type (a hint of cleavage, or a skirt with a slit, or just a classic red cocktail dress). Anything too "in-your-face" and it looks a bit silly, as if am trying too hard 😬

Naturals also get cast as dependable quiet friends and tragic Heroic Generals. Gamines also get cast as secret rebels.

My face is Romantic. I’m 5’9” and am either a flamboyant natural or soft dramatic body type. It’s hard for me to tell.

[@lilibetp]

David Kibbe called me a Soft Classic, but I feel more Ingenue than Romantic, and suspect there's some Natural there, like a Classic with a secondary Soft Natural rather than just a secondary Romantic, if that makes sense. Anyway, from the time I was a child, I've been cast as mothers, maiden aunts, housekeepers, the occasional queen, etc. The only romantic lead I've ever played was Elaine in a community theatre production of Arsenic and Old Lace when I was 17 and I started rehearsal playing Dr. Inga Einstein. When the original Elaine dropped out, it was easier for them to find a new Dr. Einstein than a new Elaine. I always wanted to actually perform Dr. Einstein, though. I still hope to one day play Lady Bracknell and I'd love to do a southern version of Hyacinth Bucket, although the phone would have to be the same kind of Samsung the Queen had instead of a white slimline phone with last number redial, since even a southern Hyacinth wants to emulate the Royal Family... I do have a more expressive face than a typical Classic as well.

[@jessb22781]

Some of the examples she used are confusing because the character/costumes have the essence she's referring to but the actress doesnt. Claire Danes always looked very miscast to me as The Star because she has no ethereal essence or even anything closer such as ingenue, her features are very blunt/wide. Her hair and costuming were what I think Ellie-Jean was referring to, but you can really see that they were having to fight her facial features to try and get the right effect.

[@sorelyanlie2784]

I’m learning that I really have to ignore presuppositions when it comes to the body and essence id stuff. For example, I assumed I must be gamine or romantic because I’m short and very curvy regardless of my weight. But when I let myself forget what I know I actually am realizing that my curviness while it affects proportions in my clothes, is not as impactful in my face-on siloette as I originally believed. It’s mostly only visible from the side. Also with facial features, I have a proportionally small head, and a diamond face shape, largish eyes, and somewhat a-symmetrical features so I just assumed probably gamine, but the more I watch these videos it leads me to thing I’m actually predominantly natural with some romantic and possibly a little ethereal influence (although it’s hard to say if that part is just because of coloring since I have very muted colors in my face and barely there eyebrows but very dark brown hair). Still not sure what my features are all the way, but maybe someday I can afford the luxury of having someone else type me.

[@Bunnidove]

My body is romantic, but my vibe is ethereal.

[@pinagrrrr2280]

Confusing

[@hanabananasmilana]

they all look mostly the same to me TT

[@usehername1]

Interesting that period piece is a category, but then i always think Gwenyth Paltrow suits pre Renaissance better than anything modern

[@jvghibli]

I feel like I‘m a mix between ingenue and classic …

[@bunny_0288]

So my face is very ingenue, but I definitely have a romantic body type. I think this explains why I tend to go for the sweet feminine pieces instead of the more sexy feminine pieces true romantics can pull off. I think my ingenue face makes the sexy romantic stuff look not quite right on me.

[@LauPhoenix]

I was about to say I might have "ingenues" vibes but then I saw the examples of the actresses and was like no way I am as pretty HAHAHA so I am once again not sure about my face type

[@caressemycurls9713]

Would you mind redoing this video with examples that are specific to black women? I appreciate the method but find all of your examples hard to identify with.

[@chrystianaw8256]

I think there's blk contect creators doing the same thing with blk women examples.

[@caressemycurls9713]

@@chrystianaw8256 do you have any examples of channels? I haven’t seen any that explain the systems the way Ellie-Jean does but I’d be happy to follow if there are.

[@theace8483]

@baddieexp has a short but of course it doesn’t have the same depth as this long video

[@LoniLoni11]

You are asking for her to do a whole lot. I’m surely not expecting that video from her anytime soon.

[@Dancestar1981]

What about older women I’m 43

[@YTT718]

Whats Angelina Jolie?

[@gabia9224]

How does hair play a role in your type? I have a soft facial features with some sharper bone structure (large round eyes, small nose, plump cheeks, high cheekbones, sharp jawline) that could be gamine. However, I have very long, dark, wavy hair that looks romantic. I feel like the stereotypical gamine pixie cut would look atrocious on me. Could I be a romantic? Side note- I have always been drawn to red, rose print, and romantic silhouettes.

[@yiling1.0]

Can someone tell me what face type I have? I can’t tell

[@lanalaclaire]

Isn't Emilia Clarke more ingenue than romantic? And what about Marilyn who had an ingenue face and played the bombshell?

[@starsaligneddino]

Marilyn is equally ingenue and romantic though.

[@melligolightly]

The comment I was looking for. Emilia Clarke looks too cute for Daenerys in my opinion (or it is intentional casting).

[@YumeraChauque]

Mailyn is romantic.

[@massis9069]

Marilyn had ingenue essence and a Romantic body, which gave her that contrast and she channeled it.

[@raspberryflash583]

I’m a weird cross between naturals and ethereals

[@gMitch8276]

If I’m a soft dramatic body type does that mean my face I dramatic?

[@LowSlungBadBitch]

No your body type isn’t your face type all of the time💗💗 but if you want to start there you can

[@eusounadja5738]

Most dramatic woman are cast as villains

[@jeng6786]

Hmm. Natural, gamine, ingenue. Idk how to cosplay this lol. I cant tell if i lean more natural or gamine

[@thecoolintroverttv8381]

My husband says i hv a sweet and intimidating face, honestly don't knw😂

[@ashtonroberts1175]

What essence has a man jaw and a giant 5 head? That's mine.

[@myfarts]

Sounds like I'm a mix of Gamine and Ingenue

[@princesswithinnerbeauty4407]

Pure Romantic, Lush Yin

Julia Roberts is the actress in Pretty Woman, not Vivian Ward,
