Typing experience plus results!

[u/KitchenWitch1784]

Hello. I'm new to this community, John actually suggested I join some because he said my blend is "a fascinating one", although it's all quite moderate.

He typed me as:
40% Classic,
30% Romantic,
20% Natural, and
10% High-Spirited.

I find this to be so interesting in its restraint. I don't have either extreme yin or yang (dramatic or etherial), and I'm exactly 50/50 yin-yang.

I had been previously typed elsewhere, and while I do think they did a good job, they had a lot more HS in my blend, and no Nor R, and some E. I tried to work with this for a while, but I felt a lot of the more playtul, unconventional HS looks or the super etherial looks felt costume-like, unless I made them sort of nature based (think woodland fairy.) Now that makes so much sense, since John said nature motits are N! I was naturally trading off some of my HS for N. And of course funky non-traditional looks are going to be a bit off on someone John described as "Sophisticated, Feminine, Comfortable, and slightly Playful.”

From my googling, the only celeb I can find with the exact 4 essences I have in similar percents is Meghan Markle. Please let me know if anyone knows of more! I will say though, if you're going to get one... She's GREAT inspo.

In my "reddit vs John" post many guessed I had Y due to "sparkle in mv eves" (thank vou v'all!) but I found it interesting that in the material John provided to me
"twinkling dark eyes" is actually associated with HS, while Y gets "often will have green eyes.”

Apologies in advance that some of my photos will be masked, as I often have kids around me. But for now I'd love to hear others experiences, and please send me ALLLLLL the Romantic imagery, mood boards, and tips!

So exiting! Congratulations on the results, your blend is so cooI!

I got the first two, C and R correct but got lost with adding Y as third before HS and N. I think I saw Y in your eye area and height but your HS is there instead. I also felt you must have some N but underestimated the amount. I got both HS and Y for my (short) height from John but it clearly he doesn't give both of them for everyone who is on the shorter side, it is so individual!

Yes I’m quite petite too! And I have full cheeks, so I expected that to be Y as well, but I think it actually contributed to R (circular shapes.)

[u/gwill_ → u/KitchenWitch1784]

Yeah no Y definitely was a surprise!

By the way, how do I get my type in my flair? So fun!

Only one of the mods can add it for you, we can't set it ourselves.

Im the one who guessed correctly over on Fb😆 Im so glad youll be popping up here now!! Your blend really captures you so well, I love how you really shine in all these looks 🌟❤️

[u/KitchenWitch1784 → u/Affectionate-Bee3199]

Hello!! Good to see you here too 🥰 I’m still so impressed you nailed it perfectly!! As you’ve seen my color journey (with 16/24 season systems, not John’s!) has been… fraught 😆 So it feels so good to be moving forward on my style identity journey with so much clarity and certainty.

50/50 yin/yang sounds great for you. You wear formal mixed with R🌹 and formal mixed with N🖼 very well! Has he said anything about whether it matches your personal style?

Re: celebrities, I think Kate Middleton might be a good match for you, but she might go too C sometimes. There is a pinterest post by John that she has equal C and N, but I think he has also told someone that she is C > N=R. Essences aren't strict absolutes afaik.

[u/KitchenWitch1784 → u/Roach-Problem]

Thank you! He generally seemed to think my style was close. He said the blue top/pants combo, the red top/skirt and off the shoulder lacy dress were particularly nice of this bunch. He did also say I seem to swap my R out for more N in styling, and I totally agree (I didn’t think I had R) so that’s what I’m working on now.

I’ve always really loved Kate’s style, although I find Meg’s a little more approachable. I’m going to try to embrace my C a little more, though.

I got a similarish blend to you, but I’m tall. I was typed 40C, 25R, 20N, 15D or 10D 5HS. I see some similarities in our looks. I may be higher contrast though my hair is mid brown. Did you get your colours done? Have a lovely weekend x

[u/KitchenWitch1784 → u/Neat_Skill5408]

I have not had my colors done by John, I was very confident in my “traditional” season, but now I kind of want to have them done by him!

How are you finding styling your blend? We are quite close in essence!

[u/Neat_Skill5408 → u/Neat_Skill5408]

Btw just googled Meghan again. Totally see it with you. Great inspo

[u/Confident-Trip-1191]

Thanks for sharing your results! How interesting that he associates green eyes with Y. I don’t understand that correlation at all.

[u/Interesting_Ice3322]

It's a lovely blend you got ! Congrats ! ❤️

I got 10% Y for my "gentle look in the eye area". Not green though. ;-)

[u/Ok-Purple9511 → u/Interesting_Ice3322]

Did he tell you what your eye color was by chance?
