    UPDATE: A lovely follower who saw Kitchener in person clarified that Liv Tyler is NOT largely Angelic (only 10%). She has striking contrast whihc puts her in the ROMANTIC + INGENUE blend. So if you have striking contrast, you may find yourself veering more into the Romantic essence 👍

      Interesting. Angelic essence is the only essence I'm sure i have. I've been told I remind people of Liv Tyler many times, but that's because I usually dye my hair black because I want intensity. Even though I'm naturally a blondish colour. Now I'm wondering if that's disturbing my angelic essence.

    Thank you for this video. It's very detailed and helpful! And I'm happy that you included other ethnicities because almost all the examples I've seen had Caucasian/white people and it made me feel as if us colored folk wouldn't have angelic/ethereal essence.

    I think it's quite difficult to find our essences ourselves. Sometimes we tend to "force" it a little, we want to see the traits of certain essence in us, because we find it attractive. I noticed that especially with an ethereal essence, because who wouldn't like to look like an angel 😉Other people see our real vibe, we can overlook it sometimes

      i got my essence blend down to a T from years of observing how people would describe me. I realized I was a blend of classic and ingenue from years of being described as being "cute", "innocent", "classy", "elegant", " formal", "regal". And I'm certain I dont have dramatic in my blend despite being called "regal" because I've been told how soft and unassuming I looked how I looked like I couldnt hurt a fly. lol.

    One of the most common compliments I get is how ethereal I look. I used to take that as an offense because even as a young child my grandpa would comment on how I looked as though I belonged in a renaissance painting and having an untrained eye for aesthetics I thought it just meant I looked ugly.

    Ive tried to have friends type me and ethereal/angelic comes up very often as a possible suggestion for me. I never saw it in myself because I’ve struggled with my weight and EDs my entire life and have body dysmorphia. It was very hard to find examples of Ethereal/Angelic women who weren’t tall, willowy, very thin and slender people who are for the most part Caucasian (and I am none of those things). I appreciate that you showed diverse examples here-people of different ethnicities and body types.
    I look best in the drapes and flowy silhouettes and lighter fabrics like you mentioned, even though in theory those clothes shouldn’t be flattering on me (I have more of a natural/gamine body) but I never saw ethereal in my facial features at all, but now that I saw your video maybe I can try assessing again. Thank you :)

      Same! I love long, loose flowy dresses and hair, but they can look a little shapeless and straggly on me. As a SD with a probably Classic/Dramatic/Natural essence blend, I can handle a bit of looseness, but I also need some drape, curve, and soft structure. I also do better with moderately long lines rather than super long ones. I had similar insights into why things do or don't work for me while watching videos on the other essences. It's just as helpful to know what doesn't work as it is to know what does.

      SD with gamine essence sounds gorgeous! I can't think of examples of celebs with that combo, but I do know that Jameela Jamil and Barbra Streisand are two SDs who often incorporate gamine influences into their outfits but with more length and curve adapted for their frames. The effect is often quite playful and sensual. And Alex Chung is a Dramatic with Gamine Essence who wears a lot of long sharp lines with Gamine and Ingenue details for an edgy twee effect. You might get some inspiration from them. Thanks to Ellie-Jean Royden for content

    Perfect timing--I've been doing a deep dive into 16th century dress for an eventual (first) Ren Faire and I've since realized how easy it would be to bring some of those elements (hair, jewelry, color palette) forward to the present day. I think it's also possible to bring in an ethereal look via scarves, wraps, shawls, capes--as in, say, the Irish ruana. (And I now know how I pulled off a peach parfait of an evening gown with ruching in my early twenties--35% ethereal essence is enough to make itself noticed, I think.) Thank you so much for this latest!

    I loved your explanation of the Ethereal essence! I’ve been frustrated by the limitations of the Kibbe types for tall women. None of the options applicable to me as at 5’10” fit, but the Ethereal essence does! My body is very long and straight and I have a long face. However, I don’t have any sharpness to me nor broad muscularity. I have a subtle softness to my facial features, body, and coloring. I’ve been color analyzed in the Sci/art system as True Summer, which is low to medium contrast. My preferred jewelry pieces all fit your descriptions of Ethereal essence pieces and I feel most at home adding ethereal elements to my outfits. I think I’m a blend of Classic and Ethereal essences with a touch of Natural. I’m looking forward to you continuing this series to learn more about the other essences! One thing I wish you’d add that bothers me about the essence and Kibbe descriptions I’ve read is that short hair can be an option. My hair is fine and thin, a texture that does not lend itself to the Ethereal styles you depicted. My preferred styles range from long pixies to layered bobs, always with soft movement. I love to wear long earrings that add the gentle, elongated, s-curves hair length would otherwise provide. Thanks for your great videos!

      Have you considered Soft Dramatic? It's literally a Dramatic that is softened rather than sharp.

    • @edennis8578

      Just to add, Soft Dramatic lends itself exceptionally well to the ethereal essence.

      All of the examples of Soft Dramatics I’ve seen are quite curvy compared to me, so I haven’t considered it. My self analysis based on a full body photo results in Dramatic Classic with a couple of different quizzes. I’ve been told by others that I don’t look as tall as I am, probably because my arms and legs appear average length. I am quite long waisted though, and that adds to my body length. If I look at myself without comparison to others, I’d be Dramatic Classic. If I follow Kibbe’s rules (if they actually are rules) about height, I don’t fit anywhere.

    This is great, I LOVE how you adapt these ideas to casual/workout/etc outfits that people can actually wear! Really excited for the series. I think I have dramatic and angelic essence (angular features/jawline but with rounded edges and I think I look better in softer materials), so it's an interesting challenge figuring out how to apply both...

    Perfect video for me, who realised to has quiet a lot of ethereal essence. Thank you so much!!!😎🤩🧚🏼‍♀️
    The narrow elongation in my upper torso, neck, hands, feet, and face (shape, placement of my eyes, nose, cheaks) is very prominent, being a low contrast soft autumn and my vibe fit this! Cate Blanchet has always been my favourite style icon. Once a professional stylist told me I remind her of Tilda S, which I couldn't see in my features, besides having really fair skin. But thinking ethereal this makes sense now.
    I am a dc, pear, 1.67m, chasing my lovely toddler, but soon back in office (connect to, advice and even inspiring people). My hair has grown ethereal in the last years, soft long waves, which is a great boost for this essence. Yeah! I love art nouveaux. Now I have a reason to look forward to this kind of jewellery in my wardrobe😍
    I find myself puzzled about how much I want to go in this direction, so your advice to slowly increase and observe will be put to action. - my son just woke up - sending lots of love for all your advice!

    I was struggling tu put myself into Kibbe's body types. I thought I am somewhere between soft classic and romantic. Then I discovered your channel ❤. Now I know I am defenetely ingenue, angelic, romantic and a little bit classic (i don't know percentages).
    I have a baby face with some classic vibes, small hazel eyes, pale skin, brown curly/wavy hair. My body is 5'5" proportional with small hands and feet and some curves.
    When I was teenager I looked mature then it stopped and now I always hear that I look much younger. I am 34 and look 10 years younger.
    I like pin up style, draped clothes, ruffles, bows, small prints, sexy dresses but i also look good in come classic stylizations. At my wedding I had a dress somewhere between ancient greek and empire style and I looked beautiful. It proves me that I have strong angelic essence.
    I am really happy I've discovered your chanell it's really helpfull.❤

I guess it is because of my essence that I can wear these things.

    I thought maybe I had ingenue because there is something light and innocent about me. So I pulled out a bunch of photos taken over the years, looking more closely at my face. I'm seeing Angelic Essence. No matter what I wear from black leather jackets to boho looks, anything...my heart shaped face with large round eyes brings a soft, radiant vibe. I also have freshness which might come from my soft natural type energy. Great job on these videos!

    Thank you so much for going through all the possible essence combos! I've long wondered if I had ethereal essence--i look good in metallics and gauzes, I often get compared to faces in Renaissance portraiture, and people have commented on how natural I look in tiaras or costume-y jewelry, or draped Greek clothing for reenactments. Since I'm short and curvy and I tend to be somewhat overwhelmed by shapelessness I always assumed these things were just odd offshoots of my romantic shape, rather than actual ethereal essence, especially since I'm so high contrast and dark in coloring and am usually told i can handle a lot of weight in terms of jewelry and fabric, which is exactly contrary to ethereal. But seeing Kat Dennings, Priyanka Chopra, and Deepika padukone, who I've all been compared to frequently in terms of vibe, really confirmed that ethereal is probably part of my blend!

    This was sooo good! Thank you, thank you! Interestingly, as I was looking at some of the examples, I realized as a soft gamine with a gamine/ingenue/classic essence, there is a bit of overlap between ingenue and angelic. I would totally wear a faux fur sweater, puffed sleeves, and pastels, but it’s going in a different direction. I can’t wait to see all of these videos! You’re amazing!
