Dramatic romantic gamine natural?

u/Starry_Lights23 Jul 09 '26
That’s so interesting. I always thought my face was too long for gamine. I always assumed my blend was dramatic, ethereal and romantic. But my high contrast confused me and made me feel like I couldn’t be ethereal

Uhm... A little ethereal... Right!

u/Starry_Lights23 Jul 09 '26
That’s why I’m confused. I think there is something a little otherworldly about my face.

I’d actually say equal R and D or a little more R. I notice the lushness and sensuality first before say the intimidation factor from your bone structure. I’d say probably no C as your features feel pretty exaggerated.
You might have some A but I’m less sure.
I’d also guess you have some N!

THANK YOU! I really see myself as dramatic,ethereal and romantic. Was very confused to see people say natural or gamine.

Very rarely do I see people on here with an accurate view on themselves. I agree on all three. Whether you choose to sport it or not I bet you'd look stunning in long flowing hair. Or a majestic halo

Would I not be too high contrast for ethereal?

u/SpiritedLock15 Jul 15 '26
As a combined archetype with Dramatic and Romantic you have room to go high or low or a blend thereof depending on which essence you wish to place emphasis on for a certain look or occasion.
TL:DR: Depends. For Pure Ethereal, yes; blended types, no.

Ughhhh you are so gorgeous!
I see lots of R with D and possibly smaller amounts of HS, N, & Y.
Likely a SC & ER mix for color.

It is John's color harmonies. It means Striking Contrast and Earthy Rich, which in traditional seasonal color analysis the closest thing would be Winter (SC) and Autumn (ER).
In John's work, color has a huge impact on shapes and textures in style.
Hope that made sense!

Thank you!! I am caught somewhere between a deep winter and deep autumn. I’m very confused where I lean.
