I just want to say, your Oneiric essence video actually unlocked something in my brain, and now I think I actually know how to carry my looks out from this point on. Thank you for saving a girl!
I’ve been loving this series (the oneiric video truly was a lightbulb moment for me and explained why I’ve been struggling with figuring out my essence) and I’m really excited to see you combine some of these essences! I’d love to see a combination of Romantic and Oneiric, like the way you described in your reply to my comment “Dark details paired with rich reds. Like a candlelit macabre feast!” It just sounds like a hauntingly gorgeous look that I think you could totally pull off 🥀🕯️❤️🔥
I wore my version of oneiric to work and got told I looked really classy so… I guess it works for me! Dark circles and all…!! Thanks so much for brining it to my attention!! ❤ that shirt/ dress is beautiful too! I love your breakdown of these and naturally you seem to know what suits you..
When I saw you in the natural essence I thought that was perfection on you and still looks so ethereal! I would cast you in a movie as a goddess like Venus. Or maybe a queen who is extremely compassionate toward her subjects and has magical abilities. You look the most ethereal in low contrast and it makes your eye colour and skin look so radiant. Even your oneiric look made me think of Hecate gently guiding lost souls to the underworld.
I love the self-love idea, leaning into what who we are, and what we have; being more about self acceptance and using that to our advantage! So many times we are made to feel like we don’t fit into pre-determined societal box, and sadly give up trying. Thank you E, for this amazing series! 👌🏼👌🏼
I put a selfie into ChatGPT and asked it what my Kitchener blend could be and it said romantic, classic, natural, and little bit ethereal. It went into detail about how it analyzed my features (warmth, elegance, approachability, softness). Thought that was crazy because that’s what I was thinking too after watching this series. Worked great for confirmation
When you said the words "feel at home," that definitely hit for me. Ultimately-- for me at least-- I want to play & experiment & mesh essence/style/makeup into looks that feel at home for me. Like YES, here I am & always have been. Even if it's a shape-shifting home depending on the season-- a chameleon essence 🦎-- I always want it to be a kind of unmasking of *more* of myself, not a covering up. So, thank you for saying those three magic words and for this overall series. You are a benevolent muse of glam enlightenment ✨️🙌🏼✨️
“How can we ROMANTICIZE ourselves a little bit…” Insight like this, and your ability to articulate your own processes is an essential part of your channel. This series can been so lovely, and I hope you’ve encouraged many to engage in some fun playtime trying on some new personas. Getting to know ourselves and trusting that self-knowledge is the key to not only beauty, but happiness. You make me feel blessed, thank you!
I definitely agree ethereal, romantic, and natural are your main 3!!! And I think you could add a sprinkle of oneiric, dramatic, or even ingenue quite easily. It’s also been cool to see how you can made the other essences work even though you felt they didn’t sit right for you. I can’t wait for the final look! Tysm for this series 💕
Going through these different essences with you gave me a better understanding of them. It's nice to see an interpretation of all of them on the same face. And seeing them one at a time with some time to digest all of the information also helped. When I first heard about these a few years ago, it was information overload for me😂 I feel like Oneiric is also a dark version of Natural since it's a more subtle essence. Where Natural is beachy, inviting, and sunlit, Oneiric is haunting, reserved, and moonlit. I think these descriptors like "Relaxed Aphrodite" or "Dark Demeter" are more intuitive and evoke a more tangible image in my head than the essence names. I think they definitely suit your makeup style. I actually think I like to play in different essences on my face versus my clothing. I would say my usual makeup looks are Dramatic/Gamine/Ethereal and the descriptors "Intense Pixie" and "Playful Sorceress" also work well for what I'm going for. But I don't think I play with a lot of Ethereal in fashion, that's just not my vibe. I think I lean more towards Classic most of the time or Natural, especially in summer. I feel like "Edgy Prep Schooler" (Dramatic/Gamine/Classic) and "Edgy Tomboy" (Dramatic/Gamine/Natural) also encapsulate my style very well, and I would wear a lot of the outfits in those mood boards.
I love the idea of descriptors too! They definitely conjure a sense of the essence blends for those not deeply familiar with the system. Love how much you play with your style!
This series really unlocked something for me! I’ve struggled with figuring out my essence apart from believing I have some classic and just seeing it as boring as I couldn’t figure out what else I have. I’ve always been drawn to Angelic essence, and from doing more reading on this and watching this series I believe I’m a Classic with Angelic and a touch of Ingenue. Those last two really unlocked something for me and I now feel more brave to test out more with my style.
Love this series!! I used to call my aesthetic “cute creepy little girl”… a la Tim Burton! Now I realizes it’s that I’m oneiric gamine with a dash of ingenue. Love it!!
It's been really cool watching all the videos you've made on these! I definitely have a clearer idea of what each essence includes and their traits. I really like stuff like this and exploring different styles. I'm still struggling to imply any to myself though, i feel like i'd need someone else's help to really tune into the ones i'd pull of. Also Toast is just the cutest!
It honestly took a little bit for it to fully click for me and really the best way was fully leaning into one essence to see what worked and what didn’t! And if you have any celeb looks likes!
This was a great idea for a series. I have very similar features to yours and it interested me to see how these different ideas played out on a similar canvas but one that i could more objectively assess, you know? It’s so hard to see yourself sometimes
My personal aesthetic is very natural/romantic/dramatic & has been for a long time. I love vintage inspired pieces, 30s/40s/70s/80s. I can lean theatrical when dressing up & I love Halloween & Ren Faires/Costume Balls. Relaxed tailoring & flowy silhouettes. Soft makeup in natural colors with emphasis on the eyes. Long wavy hair. Nothing too fussy or restrictive, shoes that can be walked in. That's my go-to. Which essence is dominant is very occassion & season dependant.
I have loved this series! It was so fun seeing the different looks. I'm still debating about mine but, I'll just continue to play with whatever I feel. I tend to lean into smoky looks for my eye makeup regularly. Then I love a dramatic lip color with it. Thank you for doing this series!! You're one of my favorite people on here. Watching your videos is so relaxing but, fun and informative. ❤❤
I am so thankful yo made this videos! I’ve never been able to find my season but the oneiric style video hit the nail in the head. Firstly because I’ve always wanted a proper tutorial on how to look like a consumptive Victorian but also because yes, I kind of suit that essence even when I sprinkle a dramatic eye with it❤.
Subscribed! I had a somewhat similar journey to yours in that I was flailing about among the essences--I wanted to be a gamine so badly. Come to find out I have shoelace levels of gamine, natural, and ingenue; classic clothes and makeup just make me look (and feel!) constrained. My dominant essences are dramatic, romantic, and ethereal (or possibly oneiric) almost in equal proportions. The upshot: While I don't wear a lot of shimmer and shine, I get a lot of mileage out of baked, mapled/charred, and oxidized looks. And I have very hooded eyes, so I am wasting my time with anything more elaborate than a simple sweep of a medium contrast eyeshadow plus smoked out eyeliner. (My fiance, who asserts that he dislikes obvious makeup, is enchanted with this look.) Again, great video!
@evangelinemolly I think it was equal parts trial and error, seeing how far I could play with recs for Dark Autumn makeup and in which direction, learning to work with my features instead of fighting them, and embracing my actual body type/essences. One other thing that stuck with me was reading a description of the qualities seasonal palettes are supposed to bring out in each person. For example, anyone with an Autumn palette should have the appearance of being illuminated in fire, be it candlelight or a full-on woodland bonfire. I had a similar experience with jewelry: If it doesn't bring out that "fire" aspect, it probably doesn't belong in my jewelry box.
Never thought I would associate with the dramatic and gamine essences, but the makeup looks are ones I do on the daily and they feel so natural - who knew😂❤ love this video
Judging myself all in all I think I fall in between natural and oneiric essences. Good to know! :) Before your videos I didn't know oneiric essence exists, but for me it makes sense because it's like a darker twist on ethereal and natural essences.
This has been such a fun series! I feel like this will be most handy in my writing- I already try to keep my characters diverse, but having these essences in mind can help find what gaps I might have within a group of characters- and then decide if I want to change/add characters. It's also fun to use these to create a certain "persona" for a Renaissance faire! Do I want to lean into my essences of contrast them? I'm going to one next week, and now I've got my gears turning!
I’m glad I watched this, I’ve never quite fit into the usual essence categories, but after watching this I am fully oneiric! I’m often compared to ortega, and those colours work best on me, so thanks, I now have a fun new rabbit hole to go down!
@@evangelinemollyThat taupe shade is very elegant and sophisticated on manucured hands. I've been down the rabbit hole of Kibbe and Kitchener for the past year and I soak up every piece content about it yours is by far the most aesthetically pleasing! I'm a kibbe soft natural just like you, with a natural/dramatic/romantic essence mix. I feel so much more myself now that my style has evolved ! Keep up your great work ❤ love from France!
5'9, very curvy, broad shoulders and hips. Medium brown, slightly hooded, almond shaped eyes, but concealer and high coverage foundation flattens out my features and removes dimension 🥹 get told I look way younger than I am, but I feel like my features are really brought out better when I have defined smokey cat liner and dramatic eyelashes and super contoured cheeks. But I can also add a cute pink cheek and look adorable and cutsy with doe eyes. The Oneiric essence fits me, mixed with dramatic and a splash of onjinu. Witchy, spooky, haunting, but in a cute way!
This was so much fun, what else do you have up your YT sleeve Evangeline? I learned quite a bit about where I fall on the Kitchener scale. I think I am a combination, not one specific classification. Have you decided if you will be going forward with a social media career or back to the Evangeline? I think you are very well suited to this platform, if you can swing it financially. Great content, super interesting! ❤️
Resonating with this! How tall are you? I’m 5’7”. I wonder if you’re about my height. The reason is because I’m curious as to weather or not one can be dramatic but still curvy. I feel like that’s me. Oneiric is everything by the way, for you and definitely for me.
I loved this and it made me want to play with make up ( that I already own, trying to be a conscious consumer here lol) and see if I can have fun trying new colors and styles. The overall message of embracing your own unique beauty is lovely. I am a bit sad that you dismissed the gamine look because that's my main essence🤣😉but I can see how among all the others it was definitely the one that suited you the least. I do believe this system is a solid starting point to improve our own personal style.
People always tell me my greatest talent is invisibility because I can walk into a room and nobody will notice me. Don’t know what that means for my essence 😂. I’ve asked them to explain further and the consensus is that I don’t take up energy/space, I don’t want/need anything from anyone, and I don’t do anything to draw attention to myself but I’m simultaneously everywhere and nowhere to people.
@ thanks! I’ll check that out. That one might make sense for me because right off the bat I’m reminded that my favorite photographer is Francesca Woodman mostly because my upbringing and life trajectory (up until a certain point, obviously) is eerily similar to hers.
I’m definitely running more Oneiric (spelling?) myself I think! I’m going to do some more digging in to these essences. Thank you for this series! *edit to add: I think some of the color stories you can come up with using the Huda Beauty palette in Pretty Grunge can work. I also just got some more Rituel de Fille today that pairs well with that Oneiric essence (hopefully I spelled it right haha).
This has been interesting. I'm definitely more yang, probably a mix of dramatic, a little bit of gamine, and natural. Perhaps it's due to my limited understanding, but I feel like everything are feminine oriented. Is there anything for androgynous/masculine essence (I definitely have some), or is it gap? It's not dramatic, because androgyny can be understated as well.
Yes the system is for all genders and there are examples of masc people for each of the essences! I just focused on women due to my own exploration but there’s lots of resources out there if you wanna delve into other people! 😊
Because of you now I’m sure about my 3: gamine, natural, and oneiric. They match my style roots (Ellie-Jean’s system) too interestingly enough: sun, moon, and earth. Edit: I meant to add that I definitely think you’re romantic, natural, and ethereal. One more edit: yay I was right! I put my predictions before finishing the video - although I thought you were more romantic than I guess you are because of how well you pulled off those red lips.
What is it called if lean towards girly girly and gothic …I combine both!!!! I love black leather jackets with pink ribbon in my hair for example. What is that even called ?? 😂
I'm half Yin and Yang. I'm equally right and left brained. I'm into astrology. My dominant planet is Venus, but I have equal masculine and feminine planets. Edit: my theory is that our yin yang essence is directly corelated to our astrological birth chart.
@@evangelinemolly yessss! I'm not a content creator but I have a deep respect and admiration for content creators. The world is a better place because of you guys. You bring so much joy and I look forward to your content🤗❤️
I feel like I can’t fit into any of the essences cause the asian people in the list are asian people who have angular faces but i dont and there’s not many other examples of asian people in other categories :
If you’re really interested in playing with the essences, I just touched the surface in these videos. There’s lots more examples across Reddit threads and by other creators. If you have a celeb look a like, perhaps Google their name with “style essence”. It’s actually a fun exercise to do with any celeb when you’re feeling curious. I also found this Reddit thread for someone who deep dived on POC essences, which I found quite insightful. If you have softer features, that’s definitely a suggestion of a softer essence (perhaps Romantic or Ingenue)? If you have any questions, I’m happy to help try and guide you on your essence journey 💕 www.reddit.com/r/DressForYourBody/comments/wgxjy9/the_unofficial_official_bipoc_style_essence_guide/?rdt=37528
I’m a person whose body doesn’t match her face 😂. I have very dominant shoulders and liken my shape to a swimmers body, but a lot of flesh and width. My face itself looks very young bordering between ingenue/ethereal. My personality is blunt and not subtle at all.😅. I have zero grace to my movements lol. I’ve been called mysterious, intimidating or extremely youthful. I’ve long given up on typing myself because I’m such a strange clash of all the essences. I personally felt Romantic fit you so well and that ethereal was a subclass of your dominant romantic essence.
@ Thanks.☺️. I think if I had a celebrity who came close to my essence and facial features, it would have to a cross between Vivian Leigh and Helena Bonham Carter. I love channeling them both for inspo. Vivian for her dramatic/romantic/ingenue and Helena for her (what I see) as oneiric/romantic essence. Both have this romantic essence but with a Smokey vibe. Less sexual and more…..husky. They have this underlying quality that’s really hard to define and capture, but bolder than ethereal.
Love this series!! I used to call my aesthetic “cute creepy little girl”… a la Tim Burton! Now I realizes it’s that I’m oneiric gamine with a dash of ingenue. Love it!!
I just want to say, your Oneiric essence video actually unlocked something in my brain, and now I think I actually know how to carry my looks out from this point on. Thank you for saving a girl!
Omg I love to hear that! 🖤✨
Honestly. Same.
the ethereal essence is giving pre-Raphaelite art/Florence and the Machine/The Princess Bride and I LOVE that for you!!
Oooh yes!! 💓✨
Best description ever!
I’ve been loving this series (the oneiric video truly was a lightbulb moment for me and explained why I’ve been struggling with figuring out my essence) and I’m really excited to see you combine some of these essences!

Like a candlelit macabre feast!” It just sounds like a hauntingly gorgeous look that I think you could totally pull off 🥀🕯️❤️🔥
I’m making a note to try that combo one day! 🖤✨
@ 😃😍🥰
Oneiric seems like a delicate essence. A dark , delicate, fragil, but also witchy and spooky one! You look so beautiful in romantic and ethereal!!
Yes totally!
I wore my version of oneiric to work and got told I looked really classy so… I guess it works for me! Dark circles and all…!! Thanks so much for brining it to my attention!! ❤ that shirt/ dress is beautiful too! I love your breakdown of these and naturally you seem to know what suits you..
Wow!! You definitely have it!!
When I saw you in the natural essence I thought that was perfection on you and still looks so ethereal!
I would cast you in a movie as a goddess like Venus. Or maybe a queen who is extremely compassionate toward her subjects and has magical abilities.
You look the most ethereal in low contrast and it makes your eye colour and skin look so radiant.
Even your oneiric look made me think of Hecate gently guiding lost souls to the underworld.
Ah that’s so cool! I think I want to try the natural more with just a bit more saturation!
I love the self-love idea, leaning into what who we are, and what we have; being more about self acceptance and using that to our advantage! So many times we are made to feel like we don’t fit into pre-determined societal box, and sadly give up trying. Thank you E, for this amazing series! 👌🏼👌🏼
❤️❤️❤️
I put a selfie into ChatGPT and asked it what my Kitchener blend could be and it said romantic, classic, natural, and little bit ethereal. It went into detail about how it analyzed my features (warmth, elegance, approachability, softness). Thought that was crazy because that’s what I was thinking too after watching this series. Worked great for confirmation
Omg that’s so interesting! I want to try that as an experiment!
When you said the words "feel at home," that definitely hit for me. Ultimately-- for me at least-- I want to play & experiment & mesh essence/style/makeup into looks that feel at home for me. Like YES, here I am & always have been. Even if it's a shape-shifting home depending on the season-- a chameleon essence 🦎-- I always want it to be a kind of unmasking of *more* of myself, not a covering up. So, thank you for saying those three magic words and for this overall series. You are a benevolent muse of glam enlightenment ✨️🙌🏼✨️
Yes!! I definitely jive with the idea of unmasking ❤️
“How can we ROMANTICIZE ourselves a little bit…” Insight like this, and your ability to articulate your own processes is an essential part of your channel.

Getting to know ourselves and trusting that self-knowledge is the key to not only beauty, but happiness. You make me feel blessed, thank you!
Thank you! And yes, it’s all part of a process of self discovery that’s integral to mental health!
I definitely agree ethereal, romantic, and natural are your main 3!!! And I think you could add a sprinkle of oneiric, dramatic, or even ingenue quite easily. It’s also been cool to see how you can made the other essences work even though you felt they didn’t sit right for you. I can’t wait for the final look! Tysm for this series 💕
Yes I definitely want to always be dabbling in the other essences! Glad you liked the series ❤️

I actually think I like to play in different essences on my face versus my clothing.

I love your brain!!! You analyze and talk about makeup and aesthetics in sort of an academic way and I love it!!

I def see a lot of Ethereal in you with Natural & Romantic
There seems to be a consensus! 🥰💓
Your videos just make me so happy 🩷
I think you have natural as dominant, blended with ethereal and romantic ✨
The natural did grow on me 💓🥰

You (and your chanel) are playing big part in my self acceptance Journey ❤ thank you ❤
I’m so so glad to hear that 🥰💓❤️
Oneiric sisterhood has all of us sharing the soul of a haunted Victorian child and I LOVE it 😅✨🖤✨
Haha right! 👻🖤
I think your commentary is spot on. The natural, romantic and ethereal work really well on you.
Thank you!
So fun to watch ❤
I loved this journey and I’m excited for the next video ❤😊
Loved this series and looking forward to the blended look! I love systems like this and am curious to try on these essences for myself.

This was such an enjoyable series, thank you!
What a fun video I love hear your reasoning for your thoughts 😀see the combination of features and techniques come together 🤩
I am so thankful yo made this videos! I’ve never been able to find my season but the oneiric style video hit the nail in the head. Firstly because I’ve always wanted a proper tutorial on how to look like a consumptive Victorian but also because yes, I kind of suit that essence even when I sprinkle a dramatic eye with it❤.
So glad it resonated with you! The colour seasons definitely don’t account for those muddy strange shades!
I’ve loved this series- so fun! I just adore you and the way your brain works 💛

Also I REALLY love your makeup today. I loveee the neutral eye and pink mauve lip.

The name Evangeline with always remind me of the star from The Princess and the Frog, so yeah you're pretty ethereal.
Haha yes I forgot about that!
Your makeup is gorgeous. It's giving Rose in Titanic ❤ very romantic
Love your nail color too
Oooh I do love Rose!! The nail colour is Joshua Tree from What’s Up Beauty! 🖤
@@evangelinemollyThat taupe shade is very elegant and sophisticated on manucured hands. I've been down the rabbit hole of Kibbe and Kitchener for the past year and I soak up every piece content about it yours is by far the most aesthetically pleasing!

Thanks for watching! Seems like we have a lot of overlap in our Kibbe and Kitchener. It’s honestly helped me so much too!

I’ve asked them to explain further and the consensus is that I don’t take up energy/space, I don’t want/need anything from anyone, and I don’t do anything to draw attention to myself but I’m simultaneously everywhere and nowhere to people.
That’s really interesting! It’s giving Oneiric in my opinion!
@ thanks! I’ll check that out. That one might make sense for me because right off the bat I’m reminded that my favorite photographer is Francesca Woodman mostly because my upbringing and life trajectory (up until a certain point, obviously) is eerily similar to hers.
Wow I just looked up her work and it’s beautifully haunting.
I’m definitely running more Oneiric (spelling?) myself I think! I’m going to do some more digging in to these essences. Thank you for this series! *edit to add: I think some of the color stories you can come up with using the Huda Beauty palette in Pretty Grunge can work. I also just got some more Rituel de Fille today that pairs well with that Oneiric essence (hopefully I spelled it right haha).
Ooh that palette really intrigues me! You spelled it right 😊
Thank you for this vidéo😍😍😍
This has been interesting. I'm definitely more yang, probably a mix of dramatic, a little bit of gamine, and natural. Perhaps it's due to my limited understanding, but I feel like everything are feminine oriented. Is there anything for androgynous/masculine essence (I definitely have some), or is it gap? It's not dramatic, because androgyny can be understated as well.
Yes the system is for all genders and there are examples of masc people for each of the essences! I just focused on women due to my own exploration but there’s lots of resources out there if you wanna delve into other people! 😊
Because of you now I’m sure about my 3: gamine, natural, and oneiric. They match my style roots (Ellie-Jean’s system) too interestingly enough: sun, moon, and earth.
Edit: I meant to add that I definitely think you’re romantic, natural, and ethereal.
One more edit: yay I was right! I put my predictions before finishing the video - although I thought you were more romantic than I guess you are because of how well you pulled off those red lips.
Ooh I’ve been meaning to delve into the style roots!!
What is it called if lean towards girly girly and gothic …I combine both!!!! I love black leather jackets with pink ribbon in my hair for example. What is that even called ?? 😂
Oooh ingenue Oneiric!!
I'm classic with almond shaped eyes, slightly monolid and heart shaped lips.
I don't wear a lot of makeup or I'll look overdone.
Definitely some classic in there!
I'm half Yin and Yang. I'm equally right and left brained.
I'm into astrology.
My dominant planet is Venus, but I have equal masculine and feminine planets.
Edit: my theory is that our yin yang essence is directly corelated to our astrological birth chart.
Ooooh might have to deep dive into astrology makeup at some point
@@evangelinemolly yessss! I'm not a content creator but I have a deep respect and admiration for content creators.
The world is a better place because of you guys. You bring so much joy and I look forward to your content🤗❤️
Aw thanks so much!!
I feel like I can’t fit into any of the essences cause the asian people in the list are asian people who have angular faces but i dont and there’s not many other examples of asian people in other categories :
If you’re really interested in playing with the essences, I just touched the surface in these videos. There’s lots more examples across Reddit threads and by other creators. If you have a celeb look a like, perhaps Google their name with “style essence”. It’s actually a fun exercise to do with any celeb when you’re feeling curious. I also found this Reddit thread for someone who deep dived on POC essences, which I found quite insightful. If you have softer features, that’s definitely a suggestion of a softer essence (perhaps Romantic or Ingenue)? If you have any questions, I’m happy to help try and guide you on your essence journey 💕

I thought the makeup you were wearing for this video was a blend of your essences
My goal was to do a version of it but slightly toned down compared to the full version I plan to do for the next video ❤️✨
I’m a person whose body doesn’t match her face 😂. I have very dominant shoulders and liken my shape to a swimmers body, but a lot of flesh and width. My face itself looks very young bordering between ingenue/ethereal. My personality is blunt and not subtle at all.😅. I have zero grace to my movements lol. I’ve been called mysterious, intimidating or extremely youthful. I’ve long given up on typing myself because I’m such a strange clash of all the essences.
I personally felt Romantic fit you so well and that ethereal was a subclass of your dominant romantic essence.
Ok but I love that so much. You sound like the lead in a TV show!
@ Thanks.☺️. I think if I had a celebrity who came close to my essence and facial features, it would have to a cross between Vivian Leigh and Helena Bonham Carter. I love channeling them both for inspo. Vivian for her dramatic/romantic/ingenue and Helena for her (what I see) as oneiric/romantic essence. Both have this romantic essence but with a Smokey vibe. Less sexual and more…..husky. They have this underlying quality that’s really hard to define and capture, but bolder than ethereal.
Oooh they are both fantastic inspo!
Love this series!! I used to call my aesthetic “cute creepy little girl”… a la Tim Burton! Now I realizes it’s that I’m oneiric gamine with a dash of ingenue. Love it!!
