[@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...

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.

[@eusounadja5738]

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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]

[@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. Contenders for my secondary essence are natural, ingenue, and ethereal. I might try out some soft cosplays to help figure it out!

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 😬

[@Ennpey]

Very interesting to know what I can be cast in! Thank you! It's hard to feel confident in "what you think other people see in you" but my essences confirm what I thought based on your video. How fun!!

[@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.😅

I think based on those examples I’m a mix between ingenue and classic with some ethereal mixed in. I play a lot of younger royalty like Disney Princesses and I have been in a bunch of period dramas of all kinds and it looks like I belong in that specific timeline. A lot of Victorian and medieval.

[@angelus823]

Anyone else notice that everyone seems to thibk they are ethereal lately? Its supossed to be the rarest type, so some of yall are lying to us or yourselves. Or maybe its just really hard to type yourself honestly too

[@spacebar9733]

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.

[@angelus823]

@@spacebar9733 well kibbe said it was the rarest so I've gotta go with that. I agree that the way you carry yourself can be ethereal, but that isn't what is being discussed in these kibbe groups really

Not disagreeing with you but aren't face types Kitchener rather than Kibbe? Kibbe doesn't even have ethereal and ingenue in his image IDs.

[@angelus823]

@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.

[@racheltheradiant4675]

Thank you, this was very informative. I'll use it for inspiration to better describe my female characters in my stories. Is there one like this for men?

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.

Like idk anything about geometry I just paid super close attention to what I looked like and what looked good, like how does he know all these things about me just by looking at my geometry? 😂😂😂 like THE only girl I knew, I bought this two-faced highlighter with crushed diamonds in it and I was so obsessed and in love and I would literally go out with my face COVERED in this highlighter like while I was a young adult like I swear just like its the most normal natural thing in the world I put it all over my face 😂😂😂

im a gamine mixed with ingenue and that really checks out. my closet is like half cyber punk and half ballet princess

[@KarolineThePagan]

I'm a mix of ingenues and ethereal because I'm Asian American and I have like softer appearance. The only thing that causes an imbalance is I have a darker appearance because I have black hair, brown skin, and dark brown eyes. Also, I have piercing eyes the type that stares into your soul. I think roles that would suit me are a sorceress, high priestess, huntress similar to the moon goddess Artemis, siren or Mermaid, and dark or white swan because my spirit animal is a swan.

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.

[@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.

She's VERY Ingenue and most likely natural as well (she has broad and blunt angles in her face). That's my guess!

[@tomjones2157]

Naturals also get cast as dependable quiet friends and tragic Heroic Generals. Gamines also get cast as secret rebels. Spies are usually Classics as they can blend in and change disguise, Dramatics stand out so they're more action thriller spies not actual spy intrigues. The video maker probably watches alot of light teen comedies abd rom coms. Maybe watch wider genres before talking widely about film and being a "scholar".

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.

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.

[@Theeldritchwitch]

I already couldn't really tell what my facial essence is and now I'm even more confused

[@eusounadja5738]

Most dramatic woman are cast as villains

[@myfarts]

Sounds like I'm a mix of Gamine and Ingenue

[@yiling1.0]

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

[@pinagrrrr2280]

Confusing

[@thecoolintroverttv8381]

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

[@mishynaofficial]

Also notice how every Etheral girly is blonde. I'd say Tilda Swinton is Etheral, not Dramatic.

[@WhyYoutubeWhy]

The actress in any one type have different faces...

[@Its.Gabriellex]

I still have no idea which one I am

[@MAzurburg]

Im a soft natural with an Engenue face, but those princessie styles sadly dont look flattering on me

[@blooddragon805]

Well I still have no idea which one(s) I am

[@elainethompson366]

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

[@Vivi_Pallas]

I don't know what my face type is but eveything thinks I'm 12. (I'm 25.) -_-

[@gMitch8276]

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

[@spacebar9733]

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

[@ashtonroberts1175]

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

[@SynnJynn]

I would be cast as the ugly best friend 😅😅
