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

funny thing is i understood how the faces you showed fit the descriptions you gave, but can't for the life of me place myself 😭😭😭😭

Types and their Features: 1. Dramatics - Long and Sharp 0:31 2. Naturals - Long and Blunt 2:01 3. Gamines - Sharp and Soft Combo 3:00 4. Classics - Even and Balanced 3:58 5. Ingenues - Small, Delicate, and Round 5:19 6. Romantics - Soft and Rounded, but larger than Ingenues 6:19 7. Ethereals - Long and Soft 7:07 ❤❤❤

I've noticed in one of my favourite shows, Heartbreak High, all of the female main cast who are playing teenagers seem to have gamine or ingenue essence. Mostly gamine I think. The actresses are all in their mid 20s but I think their gamine/ingenue essence helps them to seem believable as characters who are 10 years younger than they are.

I'm really happy you included "The Victim" in the ingenue section - I think that helps me understand myself a bit better since I have an ingenue face but I also have a slightly dark, resting sad face, so I was like... do I have a little dramatic in there or what? haha But I think instead of cutesy pastels, etc I would be better suited to ghostly colours, or soft oversized stuff that makes me look even smaller, or gothic doll vibes...

Could you do another video on how to styleyourself if you love an aesthetic/vibe that you just not look like. Like i am a natural but i love flowery/feminine/ballet core.....

My essence (I'm pretty sure) is dramatic, romantic and some ethereal mixed in. The fact that BOTH dramatic and romantic do queens checks out. I was at a convention last year with a friend and a booth was selling very beautiful crowns. I tried on many, trying to pick one, and I asked which was best and he said "literally all of them look right on you. It's like you're supposed to wear a crown." Which kinda clinches it for me, in terms of my essence.

It helps to be mindful about what effect outfits consistently give off when they go right and what you consistently struggle to pull off. My kibbe type is most likely FG, and my essence is most likely a mix of gamine/ingenue. I almost always look youthful and cutesy when outfits go right (which I don't like as a grown woman in her mid 40s). I struggle to look like a grown woman or refined/elegant or casual (all of which I would prefer).

This was such a cool way to understand the essence types! I’m an ethereal with a bit of romantic and people always tell me I look like a mermaid when I have long hair or like I’m from a pre raphaelite painting or something. I wonder if it’s common to get more unique compliments like that when you’re an ethereal? Haha also a suggestion maybe you could do essence combinations and like the overall vibe, for example ethereal-romantic being kind of siren esque, or gamine-ethereal being like a pixie.

This is fun and helpful. The one thing I wish you had included was plus sized examples and more BIPOC faces

As an actor, THANK YOU for this video

This and your find your facial type video really helped me understand my essence better then things like doing online tests, you are very good at explaining it! It's so obvious now that I'm a babyfaced ethereal- my mom smoked during pregnancy and it has slightly affected my growth. It only further gives me an 'ageless' kind of feel. I'm 26 but some people still think I'm like 17. I do like to dress in flowy garments, but mine are very colorful because having Roma (Indian) heritage through my dad's family and a light brown skin, I do look very good in bold colors.

Okay I love this idea of soft cosplaying these essences. I'm natural/ingenue/ethereal :) And I definitely lean into adventurer style in my day to day wardrobe already! I think it plays well with my natural essence component & my soft natural body shape!

I have no idea what I am. When I was 5 years younger I used to be told that I was like a disney princess but I don’t think I have as much of a baby face anymore. I also used to mask my autism a lot less which probably contributed too

Great video as always - your content is excellent. Can you do versions of essences and color seasons with different ethnicities? I think the nuances would change and it would be super relevant for a wide audience

Would you make a video about combinations of essences, like in your shorts? I really enjoyed those, and they were really helpful to me!

Very interesting to know what I can be cast in! Thank you! It's hard to feel confident in "what you think other people see in you" but my essences confirm what I thought based on your video. How fun!!

I feel like I've slowly come to understand and see essences in myself and others. This video helped confirm my ethereal, classic, and ingenue essence.

this was really helpful for me.. I'm a theatrical romantic in kibbe, but I could never understand why I was treated a certain way my entire life.. turns out my ingenue essence is very strong lol when you said "victim".. OOF.. loving mother, innocent girl in the big city, the good-hearted friend.. check check check.. people realllllly wanted me to stay in my designated background role lol but I'm a theatrical romantic. I'm meant to be the main character in my own life.

Thank you so much for making this video!!!! 🙏🏻 😭❤🎉

Soft cosplaying a character according to your essence is such a fun idea! I have a very gamine face but a more natural style, but I can’t tell if I have any natural essence. Contenders for my secondary essence are natural, ingenue, and ethereal. I might try out some soft cosplays to help figure it out!
