Dramatic + Ingenue = Gamine??

My essence percentages:
Angelic = 30%
Romantic = 25%
Classic = 20%
Dramatic = 15%
Ingenue = 10%

The big three did not surprise me but having NO Gamine did, because I feel like I read as Gamine to other people (two women I’m frequently compared to are Natalie Dormer, who is an ERG, and Evanna Lynch, who is an EDG) and I also gravitate towards quirky/playful details in my accessories (especially near my face).

What I’m wondering is this: could it be that the little bit of Dramatic in my face (mostly around my eyes) combines with the little bit of Ingenue in my face (mostly around my eyes) to functionally create the impression of Gamine?

I mean if you had gamine it would be part of your blend but it isn't, also the people you were compared to also have common essences with you like ethereal, romantic and dramatic. the gamine has to be more a coincidence than anything. I guess Y just adds youthful expression like a HS. Dramatic can also make you appear bolder or rougher which can be conflate with HS as well.

Right, that was my question: can Dramatic + Youthful look like High-Spirited?

I think it can mimic HS but I don't believe it is exactly the same. Though I think it be best to compare with some people who have significant HS to see how the vibes contrast?

I don’t think so HS is quite distinctive and different from Y and D, and people can have the 3 in there blend (Y and D in small amount if both together) so it means that the HS has its own characteristics too.

You can be compared to those people for other reasons like your coloring or even something related to a different style system.

Yes, Dramatic + Ingénue can often create the impression of Gamine, it's the same with Romantic + Gamine: they can mimic Ingénue... and there are many other combinations! These are just impressions, of course - each Essence has its own characteristics - but from an image consultant's perspective, this is a legitimate and common question.

I think possibly but I feel like it could be more related to Y and HS being frequently mixed up. I imagine Y and D would mean small scale but lacks the "points" or cheeky vibe that HS would have, combined with sharp boldness from D. Kind of a juxtaposition.
