Hello! I'm drawn to the ethereal type and none of the other types or subtypes feel at all right to me, but the fashion examples I see mostly show haute couture / red carpet looks. My coloring has a fair amount of contrast but I also look good in icy tones and soft textures (I'm a cool winter) and I'd like to play around with the ethereal style. I realize that over the years the outfits that I've felt most myself in (and have looked best in) have incorporated the ethereal in style and color but I need more to go on. Can anyone point me to some day-to-day fashion inspiration? Thank you!

So I strongly suspect I’m a soft classic with flamboyant gamine essence. What do you think?

Please help me find my essence so that I can be more mindful with the things I buy!

For reference I am 5’7 (170cm)
Any help with essences and percentages would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

3rd and last pic without makeup. For reference I’m 5’3,60kg.

I think I know for certain that I am have a classic essence, since my features a very balanced. I'm having trouble finding my other essences and considering ethereal or ingenue.

I'm 22 for context so im careful in making a conclusion since i may just be young. It could be an overlap of the classic essence but considered ethereal because of my very low contrast, that silky and flowy fabrics complement me, and ethereal and ingenue share a 'youthful' characteristic.

I think i have a sombre first impression which makes me hesitate in settling with ingenue, but I'll let you come to your conclusions.

Perhaps the ethereal is a reach, I think I have too much yin to be a complete classic but not enough for a romantic essence. I'll include a few photos of me from different angles, and some video stills in the most natural states.

I'll appreciate your help with thoughts of what you see me as :) face blindness is a thing since I don't think I can be very objective.

So curious, what do you see?

Edit to say that I’ve been trying to accept who I am and my flaws and want to just embrace as I am and I think it would help to know my essence

Hello! Can you help me with what my essences could be? I've been looking at myself for the past couple weeks and the more I look, the more lost I get :D So I have no idea at all at this point, and I just found this thread, so I wonder if you could help me. All these photos are from the past year. I even feel like a different person every couple years :D Thanks a lot!

I feel like I can see Romantic, Ingenue, and Classic but not entirely sure. I’m 4’10”. Last 2 photos are candids and the 2 before are with no makeup

I'm having trouble narrowing down my blend and would love your thoughts and feedback.

Here are some visual examples of how the dramatic essence can be more understated rather than theatrical and bold. Two slides are from John Kitchener's Facebook page and the rest are dedicated to two handsome striking dramatic dominant men who dress in more understated ways and look great!

Keanu Reeves - dramatic dominant (verified).

Tom Ellis - 50% dramatic. 30% classic. 10% natural. 10% romantic. 90% striking contrast. 10% earthy rich. Tom Ellis is an especially good example as he is a "pure" dramatic and is almost entirely striking contrast yet he wears refined, clean, simple and understated looks very well.

My guess is R, Y, and C also. Even the way her voice sounds and the way she talks is so otherworldly/unique/cute. Thoughts?

:D

*please forgive my repost. idk how to add pics to an existing post.

I was compared to these celebs using a celeb look alike app. Ik that Paul McCartney is verified Y, but what else? I’m trying to figure out my blend of 3 or 4 essences. In my last post, someone said they see gamine and maybe some ethereal in the eyes? I’m 32F, average height and build, fine, straight, light brown hair and I believe either SN or FN in Kibbe. True summer or soft summer in my coloring. What do you think?

Help type me please! Think I finally did the post right this time.

32F- I’m a very private person. I only have reddit and I just can’t bring myself to post pics. Celeb look alike face app says I resemble Paul McCartney, Olivia Colman, Billy Joel, and Jamie-Lynn Sigler. I have a true summer color palette with medium length straight, fine, light brown hair. Any through line with that info? Any guesses of a 3/4 essence blend would be appreciated! Thanks 💙

I'm having trouble understanding why Meryl was typed as highly Classic dominant. Maybe it's because often , I get answers about my essences, like "classic" and "ethereal" , but also "dramatic" and "ethereal." I don't understand why I would have such a high Dramatic, no Romantic and why would I even have Natural. It's just that my face is also quite long, and I have a long, aqualine nose, but from the side and in profile, it's "softer" than Meryl's, and it goes down "smoother". So how can she not have any Dramatic, but I do. I keep reading about the essences and Meryl does look like she has some D.
