which role would you be cast in? | 7 FACE TYPES 

Sameee😭😭😭

Same here....

I feel the same can be said for Derry Girls. I originally thought they cast actors in their late teens, but I think one of them is nearing 30.

@@zellalaing5439 I love Derry Girls yes!! Nicole Coughlan!! She's 37 and I think she has ingenue essence. She looks so young. I think the other girls have ingenue essence too.

Harper and Darren aren’t

You should look up silky mochi‘s video on dark aesthetics! She has a great video on how to dress dark for your essence

@@krystallights1325 Just watched and enjoyed that very video!

Yes

Maybe makeup and hairstyle helps no?

This depends on if your essence matches your Kibbe body type, but if it does, then the example you gave seems like that might be pretty easily achievable via shape and paring down details. Like, instead of tutus and ruffles, a pleated chiffon maxi skirt would give a long line, while being soft and flowy, and a fitted racerback tank top that's tucked in would show off your shoulders and be simple and athletic but still match the skirt. That style of top would kind of give athletic natural vibes but also ballet core leotard vibes. Then you just have to find them in colors that are the best of all worlds as far as flattering for your skin, vibes, and desired aesthetics. That might be a muted pink or a soft orange or lilac, because they're femme but still natural feeling. Natural isn't just camo colors. If you don't look good in muted colors and your skin favors bright, look to colors that appear in flowers, sunsets, and desserts maybe, like vibrant but not neon orange or purple. Then when you accessorize, you may want to keep things simpler but still lean toward the aesthetic you like. A high ponytail may be more natural than a bun, while still being kinda ballet, and some tiny hoops seem very ballerina. If you want to do a bow somewhere, it could be with thin ribbon that would hang down rather than a thicker fatter style bow. I'm leaning into the ballet core in my description, because that's the easiest for a natural out of what you mentioned. It's a style with a hint of athleticism. I think part of making styles we like fit us more can also be finding the versions that fit better. I'm very romantic with some gamine, and I actually do not like it, as I like to have more edgy and strong vibes. I realize though that it's easier for me to go witchy than to go punk, if you get what I mean. It's easier for me to wear a paper bag trouser that's cinched at the waist with a dark teal flowy button up than an actually fully structured suit. I think people should wear what they want as long as they're happy in it, but it you feel like you're clothes aren't flattering and it's making you less happy with yourself or your style, it's just easier and more reasonable to change the clothes than to try to drastically change your body. Also, I don't know if you're old enough to be aware of Sex in the City, but if you aren't then Google "Carrie Bradshaw outfits". Sarah Jessica Parker is a flamboyant natural, and you may not want quite the same lines if you aren't short like her, but she also is very natural in essence and would be great inspo for how to do that in a super girly way. One of her most iconic outfits from the show is almost the exact outfit I described above, but with a shorter and fuller skirt, because she can get away with that as a short FN.

what i do is just add slight feminine details into my outfits, not too much that it doesnt suit me, but just enough that i appear more "flowery." You can do this with the color, the textures, accessories etc. You should find the "natural" version of the pieces you want to wear. Like for tops, instead of a tight fitted/more ballet top, go for like a off shoulder, pink or smtg like that, so you still enhance the width in your frame while having that more "ballet feel."

I think every type has their unique compliments, for example my face is mostly classic and i often get sth like "i didnt notice it at first, but you get prettier the more i look at you", wich is just the beauty standard nowadays i guess, cause balanced faces have not been trending for A WHILE. Therefore i also often get the "this picture of you should be an oil painting!" types of compliments haha.

Yes that’s definitely the type of thing people say to ethereals. I have had mermaid comments all my life, even before I moved to the coast 🧜‍♀️

I’ve always been told I look like a fairy or pixie, maybe that means I’m gamine and ethereal?

This reminds me of the Victoria justice meme lol but yes I agree. I get weird compliments I sometimes have to think about them like it’s math 😭

@@honorcollins6962 probably! My friend is gamine with ethereal and she has a very pixie fairy face, like she really suits colourful eye makeup and shorter hair, and more whimsical pixie like clothes like mushroom earrings and stuff

Absolutely

I'm a gamine/ingenue too. I find that what makes me look elegant/refined is tailored clothing and lots of cool details! Also dressing in like a vintage style and a nice red lip.

@@someoneontheinternet6363 Yep, I have to wear very tailored clothing, too. Perhaps it's the details I'm missing.

Just because your body is Romantic doesn't mean your face is as well! I definitively have a Romantic body type (very hourglass figure), but my face is more ingenue than romantic. You wouldn't cast me in the role of the seductress lol.

@@Elrewin59 Yeah that was my point, I don’t think my face was romantic (I didn’t know what it was) until I watched this video.

@@Elrewin59 hey, same! romantic kibbe, but an ingenue essence..

*Romantic

It’s hard to type yourself but I also doubt it’s the rarest. Especially because a lot of black and asian women have a lot of ethereal or ingenue features. I don’t believe all races were taken into account when that statement was made. For example you can have your big three but you can have all 7 types show up in your face too. gamine and ingenue have similar small features, dramatic and ethereal have elongated features, for many they will have overlap. so it’s about your vibe as a whole imo. The way you speak and move and walk. I think there’s many ethereals.

@@spacebar9733 well kibbe said it was the rarest so I've gotta go with that. I agree that the way you carry yourself can be ethereal, but that isn't what is being discussed in these kibbe groups really

Not disagreeing with you but aren't face types Kitchener rather than Kibbe? Kibbe doesn't even have ethereal and ingenue in his image IDs.

@bluesherbet2741 you're right, actually, but its still supposed to be the rarest

While I think there is an element of people just wishing to be ethereal, I think what is the rarest is to be ethereal-dominant (60% or more of your essence blend). Having ethereal somewhere in your blend is not as rare. Kitchener can also be very strict in his definitions of ethereal, but I think there's an element of Death of the Author here. For instance, he said Liv Tyler can't be ethereal because she doesn't have soft coloring (I think he typed her as ingenue/romantic), but she clearly has the ethereal elongation so I would say it's in her blend if not the top two. Ethereal maybe more than some of the other types I think can come through more as an energy people give off than strictly in their facial features which may be where some people are getting it. There's kind of a grey area of "dreamy" where ingenue slides into ethereal.

I think there's blk contect creators doing the same thing with blk women examples.

@@chrystianaw8256 do you have any examples of channels? I haven’t seen any that explain the systems the way Ellie-Jean does but I’d be happy to follow if there are.

@baddieexp has a short but of course it doesn’t have the same depth as this long video

do you have a link to the quiz?

Only 12% of the US population is black. To be honest, they are over represented

But we all know that Kibbe BODYtypes and Essences and FACEtypes can differ? Or didn't you know? Sorry

She's VERY Ingenue and most likely natural as well (she has broad and blunt angles in her face). That's my guess!

I'd say both of them have a combination of dramatic and romantic essence.

I agree they’re classic dramatic but celebrity lookalikes don’t really work imo unless you’re exact doppelgängers.

I don't know which essence features are most dominant for you but it sounds like there are some strong, warm, wise vibes there

Some of the examples she used are confusing because the character/costumes have the essence she's referring to but the actress doesnt. Claire Danes always looked very miscast to me as The Star because she has no ethereal essence or even anything closer such as ingenue, her features are very blunt/wide. Her hair and costuming were what I think Ellie-Jean was referring to, but you can really see that they were having to fight her facial features to try and get the right effect.

No your body type isn’t your face type all of the time💗💗 but if you want to start there you can

Marilyn is equally ingenue and romantic though.

The comment I was looking for. Emilia Clarke looks too cute for Daenerys in my opinion (or it is intentional casting).

Mailyn is romantic.

Marilyn had ingenue essence and a Romantic body, which gave her that contrast and she channeled it.

Dramatic I think, but not sure

@@GoldenTherapeuticStyling that is what I'm also thinking, thank you!

Yes they’re being AB tested - you’ll notice it on the first week of many RU-vidrs videos! X

@@elliejeanroyden ooh interesting!!!

Do you know what eugenics even means?
