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.
Thank you for this breakdown! I get a little lost between the Kibbe types and essences, especially since there’s so much overlap in the nomenclature. This video was very helpful in explaining the types more clearly! I love what you do; keep it up! 😊
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.
Thanks so much for the explanation of these face types! I recently have been getting into the Kibbe-Kitchener types and your channel has been a valuable tool in learning about this! I'm still trying to figure out my face type, I definitely feel like I have a soft dramatic body type but I feel like my face falls under soft natural or natural.
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 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’m still confused as ever regarding my Kibbe body type and face type 😭. I honestly don’t see that I fit into any of them. Anyone else on the same boat?
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?
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’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.
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 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.
I'm confident that I am an SD body type. After watching your video, my face type ticks all the boxes for flamboyant natural. Very interesting mix as both 'types' are neighbours.
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 !
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 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
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.
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.
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
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. 🤷♀️
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
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.
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 :)
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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 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.
@@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
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!"
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.
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 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.
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.
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
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.
Can you please show what a sharp dramatic face would look like on something other than a Caucasian woman too? What does a sharp dramatic nose look like on a black woman for example. This is a big problem I have with the Kibbe and color season community, it's mostly about Caucasian people.
@@elliejeanroyden thanks for the reply :). It confuses me though, because Grace Jones doesn't resemble the dramatics you have shown in this video at all. She is also known for her very otherworldly and unusual look. I can't name any other famous black woman that even resembles her at all. Does that mean that the dramatic type is very rare in black people? I wish there were more examples of people of color/Asians in these types of videos, because as it stands almost every video I watch on Kibbe body types and seasonal color analysis only shows Caucasian women exclusively. That makes it very difficult for any other race to identify their type, when one has to compare ones ethnic facial features with them to decipher a body type this way. ☺️
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.
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! ✨🙀❤️❤️
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 :)
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
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?)
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 😅
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?
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 have a very DC face at my lowest weight, but in the body I am a FG. When I gain weight my face tends to get very puffy (gamine weight gain pattern). People have compared me to Diana Rigg and to Rosamund Pike. I also have a ton of gamine essence with a touch of Ethereal
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…
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.
I see these videos hoping to understand my body or face style, but always fail to recognize any of this on myself. Well, that's life... I dress what I like and can't care if it suits my "style".
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
I'm asian and its a little bit tricky to find my type but after taking time looking and analyze my face🤣 i found out that t have soft natural face and flamboyant naturals body type! And I'm on my journey to find my others.
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. 😊
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. 😂
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?
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
I don't know to be honest!! Its hard to divorce my perception from my body type. My face has elements that are blunt and prominent (horizontal and prominent cheekbones, a softly squarish jaw/face shape), soft (very rounded cheek apples, a large round forehead, small), and sharp (slightly pointed eyebrows, small and sharp nose, fairly small but roundish eyes, lips that aren't especially lush). Sometimes I think I see some kind of romantic, sometimes natural, sometimes classic, sometimes the sharpish elements make me see dramatic. Ahh!
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'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 :((
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 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 ?
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'm both a romantic by body type and through my essence. Yes, it makes styling "easier," but clothes that fit romantic body types are rare. Designers don't truly make clothes keeping us in mind.

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?
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.

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'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.
Thank you for this breakdown! I get a little lost between the Kibbe types and essences, especially since there’s so much overlap in the nomenclature. This video was very helpful in explaining the types more clearly! I love what you do; keep it up! 😊
I was really confused about types and essences but the Taylor example was a perfect explanation for it.
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.
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.
Thanks so much for the explanation of these face types! I recently have been getting into the Kibbe-Kitchener types and your channel has been a valuable tool in learning about this!
I'm still trying to figure out my face type, I definitely feel like I have a soft dramatic body type but I feel like my face falls under soft natural or natural.
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 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
Just so you know that we are interested: please make more style roots content ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m still confused as ever regarding my Kibbe body type and face type 😭. I honestly don’t see that I fit into any of them. Anyone else on the same boat?
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?
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 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’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.
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 would love the same thing for men!
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.
I'm confident that I am an SD body type. After watching your video, my face type ticks all the boxes for flamboyant natural. Very interesting mix as both 'types' are neighbours.
same
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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
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. 🤷♀️
Audrey Hepburn was a very tall woman… not petite. She stood 5’-9”, I feel like this is constantly misunderstood.
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
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.
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 😅
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
Kibbe: soft gamine
Kitchener: gamine + ingenue
Personal color: between summer mute and winter deep(professionally analyzed)
Root essence: flower moon fire
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.
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.
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 😆
So cool but so hard to know which one is my type
It's amazing because my body type is dramatic classic, and I REALLY look like the picture you used for a dramatic classic face when I smile haha
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.
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
I think I’m a theatrical romantic face and body. I hope you’ll do some content for theatrical romantics!
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 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.
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
I feel I’m a soft dramatic for both body and face !
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!"
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.
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 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.
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
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!
I totally agree with what you said in the beginning I have a very innocent looking face but a very curvy mature body
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.
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
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 think I’m Flamboyant natural in the face. I like it! It makes me feel good about myself 😅
Can you please show what a sharp dramatic face would look like on something other than a Caucasian woman too? What does a sharp dramatic nose look like on a black woman for example.
This is a big problem I have with the Kibbe and color season community, it's mostly about Caucasian people.
Grace Jones has such a Dramatic face! Just off the top of my head :)
@@elliejeanroyden thanks for the reply :).
It confuses me though, because Grace Jones doesn't resemble the dramatics you have shown in this video at all. She is also known for her very otherworldly and unusual look. I can't name any other famous black woman that even resembles her at all. Does that mean that the dramatic type is very rare in black people?
I wish there were more examples of people of color/Asians in these types of videos, because as it stands almost every video I watch on Kibbe body types and seasonal color analysis only shows Caucasian women exclusively. That makes it very difficult for any other race to identify their type, when one has to compare ones ethnic facial features with them to decipher a body type this way. ☺️
@Ororo Munroe thanks a lot :)
@@12wer3wer9 true considering there are less white people than people of other races in the world
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.
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! ✨🙀❤️❤️
What does "lush" mean in regards to facial features?
Full
I think I’m somewhere between soft dramatic & gamine.
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 :)
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
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?)
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.
My face type is romantic but i have a straight body type with short height 😢
What is a person with an oblong face , rounded downward eyes, sharp nose and semi full lips ? Would this be a dramatic classic ?
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 😅
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?
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.
My face types are ethereal and natural and my body type is dramatic. In my opinion it all checks out.
I have a very DC face at my lowest weight, but in the body I am a FG. When I gain weight my face tends to get very puffy (gamine weight gain pattern). People have compared me to Diana Rigg and to Rosamund Pike. I also have a ton of gamine essence with a touch of Ethereal
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 wonder what my body type and face type is
Are you able to help people find their:essence, style roots,Kibbe, and season??:)
Also, how do you learn to do all this???:) I’d love to learn!
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.
I see these videos hoping to understand my body or face style, but always fail to recognize any of this on myself. Well, that's life... I dress what I like and can't care if it suits my "style".
I feel like I relate to the soft classic type the most but I still don’t know
Could you make a video about the makeup styles for the different essences?
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" 😂
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 dramatic! Long face, high cheek bones and a nose that looks like a knife from the side. Thank you for this video, fun stuff :)
I'm asian and its a little bit tricky to find my type but after taking time looking and analyze my face🤣 i found out that t have soft natural face and flamboyant naturals body type! And I'm on my journey to find my others.
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 have a soft dramatic body and a soft natural face, I think! My face is dominated by my eyes, rather than my bone structure. That’s cool to realize.
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. 😂
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?
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
I don't know to be honest!! Its hard to divorce my perception from my body type. My face has elements that are blunt and prominent (horizontal and prominent cheekbones, a softly squarish jaw/face shape), soft (very rounded cheek apples, a large round forehead, small), and sharp (slightly pointed eyebrows, small and sharp nose, fairly small but roundish eyes, lips that aren't especially lush). Sometimes I think I see some kind of romantic, sometimes natural, sometimes classic, sometimes the sharpish elements make me see dramatic. Ahh!
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'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 :((
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 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 ?
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'm both a romantic by body type and through my essence. Yes, it makes styling "easier," but clothes that fit romantic body types are rare. Designers don't truly make clothes keeping us in mind.
