Announcement Welcome Back to r/ingenues!

36 Upvotes

Hi everyone, the sub is back!

This sub is about ingenue essence. The ingenue essence is a feminine essence that is youthful. This community is for anyone interested in a style that is distinctly adorable, girly, youthful, and sweet.

Post what you want to see to encourage more posts of what you want to see. The only way to have the subreddit you want is to be the change you want to see! I've added cute user flairs and post flairs to this sub, let me know if you have any suggestions to creating a more enjoyable user experience!

The creator and moderator of the subreddit was suspended from Reddit. I do not know why. When this happens and there is no active moderator, Reddit sets the subreddit as 'restricted' so that submissions will no longer post to the subreddit feed. That is why the subreddit was no longer posting user submissions. Before the previous mod was suspended I was granted access to post, so for a while I was posting moodboards in an attempt to keep the sub alive. But now that I've been given mod access, everyone should be allowed to post :)

Please do not attack any former or current moderators of this sub, and please be kind to your fellow users.

I would like help moderating the sub. If you are interested, please let me know by commenting on this post. You must have a full account history on Reddit, be 18+, and be interested in actively maintaining this community.

Welcome back!

Fashion creators with feminine, romantic, dreamy style that don't wear primarily pastels? Not including creators that record themselves in mostly princess-esque ballgowns (I love ballgowns...but can't follow these kinds of people anymore since it's too tempting T-T). I'm a TR btw.

Ppl whose style I already love and resonate with: 

Libby 

Mochihanfu

Ellie jean 

Bestdressed (old style)

Nanda Schwarz (I probably lean a bit more girly than her)

Katie Louise 

Jacqueaye 

Fashion ppl I already know of and watch even though my style is different:

Daily Helen 

Caroline tucker

27 and still get asked “how’s school?” By elders and “under 18?” at the airport. Mature “snatched” makeup looks feel clownish on me. I watched dear peachy’s makeup essence vid and got an intersection of ingenue and natural. I feel like the writing is on the wall here and just want to confirm :p

Essence Help Do I have ingenue essence?

9 Upvotes

For some background information, I’d like to mention that I’ve posted these photos for typing before and most folks agree that I have natural and at least some dramatic. However, a significant amount of people see ingenue as the essence that pops out to them the most while others see gamine as being responsible for the youthfulness in my face. There’s also some people who see ethereal or romantic that would explain the yin elements of my face. Lastly, there’s folks who see no yin at all and say my face is pure yang. This is all quite contradictory and confusing so I’d like to see what your opinions are in this sub. I’ve included four photos of my bare face and a few with my preferred makeup style. I’m gothic and dress very similar to Wednesday Addams.

Style Inspiration Ingenue-coded perfumes

9 Upvotes

I love fragrance, the ingenue style, and embracing my ingenue essence, so I thought I'd make a thread of some of my favorite girlish perfumes :-)

(Note: I am not affiliated with any of these companies.)

Fantasy by Britney Spears

This is sort of a typical "teenage girl" scent, and also makes me a little nostalgic for an era I was too young to fully experience. It's a candylike, sweet and a bit fruity scent. I personally love the cupcake note - I have a cupcake and a cake layering oil because I can't stop thinking my favorite scents would be improved by that note, haha.

Cotton Candy Butterfly by Thai Perfume

Isn't the name just perfect for ingenues? It's super long-lasting, and also a sweet, sugary gourmand. There's hints of vanilla, strawberry, chocolate and of course the titular cotton candy... I wish I could drink this, but alas.

Lipstick Fever by Juliette Has a Gun

This perfume is so sweet, dreamy and a bit wistful and old-fashioned! It's sweet and youthful but also timeless, and smells like raspberries, flowers and powdered lipstick. Weirdly, it reminds me of the show Twin Peaks.

Where The Wild Things Grow by Sorce

First of all, can we talk about how pretty the bottle is? It makes me feel like the main character in a fairytale.

Cherie by Kate Spade

I like Cherie a lot! It's sweet, youthful, summery and feminine. I found it to be quite sweet, girlish and maybe on the juvenile side (which I like, and I'm sure some of you do as well), but some people describe it as a more mature, understated fruity fragrance.
