    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.

    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...

    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.

      @chelseacheckington7421 Місяць тому +6

      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
      @nayshaprasad8318 24 дні тому +2

      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."

    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.

Therefore i also often get the "this picture of you should be an oil painting!" types of compliments haha.

    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).

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.

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 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 😬

      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.

      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.

    I know I have a bit of both ingenue and ethereal in my face, but I also have a third one and I can't figure out if it's classic or natural, I don't really have any bluntness, I'm more soft and sharp (I have a straighter nose and a straight forehead, but oval face shape)... 🤔

    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.

    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".

    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.

    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.

    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.

      @jessb22781 Місяць тому

      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.

    This was fun - but I disagree that Classics can wear draped collars/dresses. They are looking too sloppy in it. It´s more for Naturals. Something to think about: Kate Winslet is not a Romantic Bodyimage. I know that she was typed as one by Kibbe himself but she is too broad and too tall (five feet six inches) for a R. She is not petite at all. In my opinion she is Soft Natural. Kibbe often corrected his opinions. I´m wondering if he ever wold do that for Kate Winslet.
