You know what's funny? Despite watching all of your videos related to the body types, I still couldn't figure out which body type I am. However, this video opened my eyes. I've always wondered why bold lips and bold eyes at the same time look so heavy on me. When I was doing my makeup that way, I always wiped off the bright lipstick because I felt it was too much. I've also always wondered why I prefer brownish and more blended eye makeup... I always wanted to pull off a graphic black eyeliner but I always ended looking less feminine. Now I know I'm a Natural and I can't thank you enough for your hard work and especially for this video here. Thank you so so much! ❤️
Did you write down all the answers you got for ‘the body type test’ ? I was confused about my body type at first until I wrote down all the answers I got for that Video. When I wasn’t sure about the question I asked my family members.. turns out I’m a romantic.. at first I thought I was a soft natural.
Same here! I could never pinpoint exactly my type, but I now finally believe that I am a soft classic. I've been a Gamine wannabe all my life, so it makes sense why the bolder makeup doesn't feel right.
@@bodyofhope I think it also depends on your coloring. I don't think very bold makeup would look that great on a gamine with muted tone hair and eyes for example.
Can you do a video on Wedding Dresses for the body types? I see a lot of brides wearing similar dress types for their wedding and can’t help but wonder if a different style of dress would look better on them. I’m also getting married in the fall of 2020. So I wonder if certain dress types could influence the season in which to get married. For example, I have the body type of Audrey Hepburn with Kate Bosworth’s exact measurements. And I think for flamboyant gamines, short dresses look better on us. But is there a way to compromise between what looks best on us vs the season? Like, how would a flamboyant Gamine be able to wear a short dress in autumn? Is there a way to wear a long dress with long sleeves? Or would that look weird on us? Lol
Check Google images for Audrey Hepburn's wedding dress. She wore one with long sleeves and a high neckline. I think the hemline was below the calves, but not as low as the ankles.
Thank you for bringing your mom into this mix! It's refreshing to have you not ignore the over 60 demographic. For that I will always be a fan!!!! You are the best!!!!!!!!!!!
This makes so much sense. I am a Soft Classic and I have noticed that if I wear too much makeup, or anything too dramatic, I look terrible. I always tell people that my face is just not suited for makeup beyond natural looks or "waking up" my features with mascara and neutral eyeshadow since I look super weird with heavy eyeliner or dramatic lips.
"waking up my features" It's so exactly how I feel!! I look amazing with just a tiny tiny line of liner and mascara and anytime I try to add anything bolder, it just looks undone or make my eyes less visible.
My GOSH Aly, you blow my mind of how precise, professional, informative and educated you are!! You content is AMAZING, very helpful, straightforward, & educational.. You are so beautiful and genuine.. I don't know where you work in real life, but you should be one of the TOP Hollywood stylists!! I always wonder where you got all this experience from? Was that you academic field or you actually work in the styling industry?
Youre so beautiful and genuine compared to other beauty people like you actually know what you're talking about and have a great way of explaining ❤ keep up the amazing work 😍
This is a gorgeously constructed series! I have to admit, that after binging on your videos, I learned that I'll be even more beautiful if I embrace myself entirely. I do love myself, but because I see so many beautiful models having sharp details, looking strong, I can't help but want to add that to my look. Now I realize that I'm me and for a reason. You've taught me a lot subtly, thank you 🌹 I'm a pure romantic type, by the way 😄
Thank you!! Finally I understand why I always felt weird wearing make up. It looks weird and clownish on me. Only now I realize that I'm a Classic and that I've been doing everything right with natural / minimalistic make up and that there is nothing wrong with my face :) heavy make up eye shadows and contouring, all that stuff is simply not for me

I'm a romantic body type and I find with even just a heavy wing or a sharp wing on my face it makes me look- not at all like myself! I started using your Marilyn Monroe video for techniques on my face- and I love it so much! Just using dark brown instead of black really helps compliment the softness on my face.
Now I understand why certain hairstyles and makeup styles just NEVER look good on me no matter how precisely I follow the tutorial! You’re brilliant, thank you!
I’d love to see a “Swimsuits for the body types” video💕 I feel like I can never find a swim suit that looks good on me so it would be really helpful! 😊
Thank you for another great video! For your survey: I'm a Dramatic Classic (I think) and look best in matte colours without shimmer. Bright lipsticks work very well on me. Nude lipsticks and pastels make me look tired and washed out and tired. I'm not big on heavy eye make-up but red lips and a dash of mascara are enough for me.
I was looking forward to this video so much! I could never explain why I find that a smokey eye with a glossy lip and big brows look the best on me, but after seeing your explanation about flamboyant natural it makes so much sense! Большое спасибо!
I'm a soft gamine with naturally red hair, so I'm not sure what my "signature" look should be, but I totally agree on mattes. As much as I love all things shiny, mattes just look so much better on me.
I think I am flamboyant gamine and everything you said resonated with me. All over nudes totally age me and shimmers also are not my best look. I also noticed over the years that bold or smoky eyeliner and/or red lips are my most photogenic look. It’s crazy how accurate it is. I’m in shock!!😳😳😳
wow, thank you so (and i can't stress this enough) MUCH for this video omg i learned a lot ! i recently discovered the kibbe system and your channel, turns out i'm a soft gamine and fun story i always looked back at my prom pictures and really hated how i looked in them and thanks to this video i finally can see why ! my cousin did my makeup and she did everything opposite of the soft gamine recommendations, she did a romantic makeup on me ! wow again thank you so much for this video i love how good you explain everything (also your music channel is amazing i love your voice hehe)
I like satin lipstick and matte, soft brown eyeshadow (natural for everyday). I don't know which type I am yet, still figuring out... either romantic, theatrical romantic, or soft natural.
You are doing such a great job and your videos on Kibbe system are my favorite. I think I’m a classic and I noticed that each I wore too much makeup on the skin, the eyes and the lips I look vulgar. And also I look super weird when I overdraw my lips even though I tried different techniques. So I just stopped trying to make my lips look huge and it’s way better now.
I like matte more, but I think both can look good with the particular outfit. Also Aly, you can make posts on your community tab here on RUclips, to post a poll and get a precise statistics for your questions =)
Okay after much research I have finally figured out that I am a Soft Classic that happens to be tall, not a Soft Dramatic. I'm just too balanced and too yin to be any kind of dramatic, I have no angularity about me at all and SD just didn't quite resemble me. Now it all makes sense xD
This is so helpful and makes so much sense given that dramatic makeup always looks weird on me. It would be really helpful if you made videos about jewelry for body types and work attire for body types. I tend to gravitate towards blazers and jackets but being a mix of romantic and theatrical romantic, it would be helpful to know how to make work attire more feminine and delicate for this shape!
For myself I usually prefer matte or only slightly glossy. It just seems to suit me much better. Still have no idea what body type I am, but I will come back to these all one day when I bother to figure it out lol
You are so amazing I have been following you since 2015. You are definitely a cut above every “beauty guru” on RUclips. I have learnt to appreciate different types of beauty thanks to you. I love that you don’t follow trends and explain why something works well or not so well with a person’s individual features and body type.
This is so interesting! I was so stuck between being a soft natural and a flamboyant natural, but I actually recognize myself more in the make up description of a flamboyant natural. I look awful in matte lipsticks. It makes me look older and sucks the life out of my face. I almost always wear a gloss or just a shiny lipstick. I naturally have bold brows, I look unbalanced when they are too thin. This is so interesting.
OMG!! This was a real eye-opener, thank you! I've been wondering all the time, why I tend to look like a dude (a pretty dude, but a dude) when I wear really bold, angular makeup look! (Soft Natural here) This channel helps me to figure out how to look my best! I love experimenting with style, but it's more or less always the combination of "loads of black" (goth til'death), "etno-inspired" (those childhood summers spent on Easern-European countryside), "summer rockabilly" (because POLKA DOTS), and "winter scandinavian" (neutrals and knitwear). Thank you! Love LOVE love this video!
I'm a soft classic and I absolutely agree with this. When I tried doing _"youtube/Instagram makeup"_ I always looked terrible with all the concealer and contouring. I look way better with light foundation to just even up my complexion. And I like to use an illuminating primer instead of highlighter so I look glowy. A bit of blush on my cheeks.Then mascara. Clear brow gel. And a blotted lipstick. So my lips have some natural looking color. Optional: I like using a shimmery brown eyeshadow just to add some depth to my eyes if I have time. And a bit of black liner on top and tight lining to make my lashes look fuller. On the bottom I also use mascara and a nude or white liner to make my eyes look a bit bigger. After all that I barely look like I have anything on. And I don't really. Primer- Smashbox Foundation- Fenty Blush- Colourpop Mascara(waterproof) - Drugstore Brow Gel- Drugstore Soft Matte Liquid Lipstick- Nyx Eyeshadow- COLOURPOP!! Eyeliner(waterproof) X2- Mac, Stila Setting spray- Urban Decay What's cool about being a classic category is that since you look better with less it's in your best interest to make sure that the items you do need to get are good quality.
I’ve been following your channel for years, but I just discovered your Kibbe Body Type Series. Bravo! I love how this celebrates the beauty of a wide range of women, instead of encouraging one way to create a look. I’ve always liked the more Dramatic and Gamine makeup in theory. In reality, though, it never felt right on my face. It turns out I’m a Soft Classic. 🤷🏻♀️
I did the Kibbe test and got most D, which is a Theatrical Romantic, but I'm not sure. I can also se myself in Soft Natural, but I'm leaning more and more into Soft Gamine. Definitely contrasting Yin /Yang lines and shapes in all of these. It can be hard to access yourself, to understand what you are really seeing in the mirror... But I find this system so fascinating, and I learn more and more. I'm considering getting the book. Thank you Aly! 🧡💛💜 About makup: I never wear lipstick, but I've recently been wanted to get one or two. But my lips are small, and I have no clue what to wear that will not make them look smaller. But what if small lips are not flaws!? Then I would like a smokey read and some kind of nude! 💋💋💋😃😃
Aly, David Kibbie changed so much for me too! Since I was very young... I was able to touch some ground of my type... Нащупать что-то... But there were so many natural clothes in fashion boutiques, in magazines... and just the people around... Fashion for smokey eye makeup looks... And for me, who is a TR or closer to SD, finding out about this system - became so eye-opening.... Long brows, thick eyebrows, eyeliner, glamorous clothes, glitter... Those are some of the things that should be a must for me!
Aly, I gotta day, I love your channel. I’ve been following since the How To Make Your Eyes Look Bigger video and I love the different topics you go into. I would, however love to see more about the body shape videos but have them include plus size women. I’m 5’8 and weigh over 200lbs; it’s hard to tell for sure what my body type actually is even when I try to just look at what my bones look like. It would mean so much to have a guide for that and I think you probably have a lot of viewers that would appreciate it as well. Keep up the good work! YOU’RE AMAZING!
Wow Aly, I am a dramatic and everything that you said was 100% true especially about the pastels blending out & how it makes you tired looking it’s amazing the knowledge you have attained at such a tender age you my dear, are a make up prodigy 🤟🤘🏻 I love u!!❤️💕 מבין וואי🦋
Hi Aly, i love your videos on the body types - so informative and seems to make so much sense to me....i now understand what i think i subconsciously knew about my style all along - i am a soft classic. Personally what i would love is if you could make a video describing some fashion brands which represent each body type....personally i struggle to find classic style clothing in a fast fashion modern age, so if there were certain brands or stores where you can find these clothes more easily, that would be so helpful! Thanks and keep up the good work! P.S - you have an amazing voice!
I can't thank u enough aly for this video. since I changed my makeup to the right body type, I got a lot of compliments. You helped me a lot find myself. thanks to kibbe for creating this. I love u both 😍
I still can't figure out exactly my type (I'm torn between soft classic, soft gamine, or theatrical romantic lol) but what I do know is that I'm into lip looks with some sheen (translucent color) or dark heavy matte without precise lines. I also love a blended matte eyeshadow look with a veil of shimmer over it and some more concentrated shimmering lines for emphasis! Thanks for another great video!
I clicked on this video with a slight doubt, like, makeup is a playground and it's not so easy to categorize what looks good on people. But I couldn't be more wrong. Right from the first type explanation it blew my mind. It's amazing how accurate it is. And you delivered it perfectly, like usually. Thank you!!
Romantic here🤚 I have found that light brown smokey with a contrasted cat or dog liner looks fabulous! Especially when you add a bit of blush and a light lip color. Lisa Eldridge has a fabulous lip color called Sunday matinee that is fabulous❤️❤️❤️
Do you do one on one tutoring? I would absolutely pay for even just a one time make-up lesson. I am 36 and I've never learned how to properly apply make-up, so I rarely use much -only mascara and eyeshadow and thanks to you I've become so much better at that with my learning of my hooded eyes!! Never knew that was a thing! It all makes sense now! But I really need help. I don't trust walking in to Sephora and asking one of them to do it because I usually don't like their make-up style. But you're style is gorgeous & NATURAL. If you would be so kind and have the time, I would gladly pay for this service!! Thanks for all you've shown me so far!!
Спасибо, Аленушка! I rewatch this video. A few year ago I got really into eye makeup, stated collecting pictures, wanted to master eye makeup looks, explore eye makeup, didn't know much about it, only practiced wing eyeliner since high school... I just collected makeup looks for the color type and some similarity with my looks in many cases I have always liked complex sophisticated makeup looks, like smokey eyes created in different palettes - like those girls we see in magazines growing up. Like the goal of makeup, "real makeup" of what it can be, as it seemed to us. But I'm most likely a theatrical romantic, at least, it suits me so well. I found my looks can't pull off grunge - dark, even not heavy smokey eye makeup looks very well, even rather slight, it is not my energy... I went back to liner again, long wings... I found light shimmery colors are so food for me. And I just like colorful eye makeup looks without dark colors in general - like pinkish, very light purple, with the liner. I think glitters suit such looks very well. I think they suit all the relative types of looks - like soft dramatic, soft gamine
Wow so now I'm going to stop thinking of myself as a BBW I'm now a romantic body type. Love it. I love how positive she is in these videos. Very informative. Thank you
I'm a dramatic classic and my go to look is exactly as you said, lashes, brows and out the door. May I just add one tip for everyone. Curl your eyelashes, it makes such a great difference.
Nice video, of course :) I would like to just add - for whole classic family and I think this also works for natural types - our make-up looks the best if it is dewy, so with that natural glow, not shimmery, glossy nor super matte. For evening look we can use little bit more contrast - more matte base and pearl eyeshadow (because of different light), but it should be balanced and definetely lips should keep that natural glow (even if they are red). :) In general we look great with light, natural make-up, if it is heavy it ages us.
I love this series of videos . I love the way the categories are defined. Glad to see I've been drawn to the soft dramatic style before I even knew I was one.
I will always watch your videos but now with all these loud commercials I have to watch at low volume and from a distance. I can no longer closely study because the sudden commercials at odd moments are jangling my nerves. This as always is a good video. I borrowed the Metamorphosis book from the library to learn more. It is an excellent book, thank you for the recommendation.
I have finally figured out that I am probably a soft classic, and the point about not too heavy and harsh makeup I knew about myself even before I discovered kibbe!! Great video~
As a classic dramatic type I am, I can definetely confirm what you’re saying about too much blending and immediately appearing to look very tired and exausted even if not actually being that!
I'm wondering what might be good for someone with a more romantic body type, but with a sort of punk/goth-ish style. She said pastel colors would be good for makeup, but I tend not to use a whole lot of pastels in my look. Mostly black. I'll wear bright colors sometimes, but even then, they're more vibrant and bright, and not really pastels.
A M A Z I N G Work, Aly Art!!! You are a scientist of the world of fashion! Wow! So much information and it all makes perfect sense! You are the best! xxx
You are my favorite youtuber and make-up artist, Aly! Keep up the good work! I do not know which type I am exactly. I am a typical pear shape with small round shoulders and delicate arms, with thick legs and bottom. My face is round, a lil chubby. Pretty soft. Defined lips, big-ish nose. 160 or 162 cm. I thought maybe Romantic or Soft Gamine. I like to experiment with all types of make-up. I think the only thing that looks quite weird on me is very pastel lips. As for matte vs shimmery lipstick. I actually love creamy and shiny ones the most. Matte looks better usually than very shimmery.
Oooh... now I finally know why contouring, eyeliner, bigger/overdrawn lips or fake lashes look so off on me. Insta makeup is just very sharp and I should just accept me being a romantic and do my korean-like lips, 1 colour of eyeshadow and brown mascara, because it suits me best. I guess it's time for me to stop following trends and beauty standards.
You are right about dramatics looking a bit masculine with too much stage-type makeup. As a middle aged dramatic, I have to forego the artistic makeup looks I see on social media because I look like a drag queen when I wear the overdone Instagram makeup looks. I love drag queens, but they are the only people who should look like drag queens, imo.
Thank you so much for your videos, i'm sure you can't imagine how much you've helped people by this, SO SO MUCH. I'm a romantic and all my life i've struggled with fashion because i'd always look better in dresses and skirts like a 60's wife look or in office of MAD MEN(tv show) woman look, i'd try and buy amazing in-style 2018 clothes and makeup but something was always off and now i just understand that they're not just for me , for my body. I am finally at peace with my body. thank you so much for sharing , you have no idea, THANK YOU!!!
Personally, I like matt lipstick, that has a bright color (like a red with a little pink) and I don’t apply it full to my lips, I apply some dots on my lips and then I smudge it. Or else it looks too heavy on me. I think my makeup look is pale face (I never contour or do blush), long lashes, brows filled with powder and bright lips. If I ever do eyeliner, I make a droopy line like Marilyn Monroe, that looks super cute.
Great job Aly! Thank you! When you can, I'd be very interested to see a "jeans for the body types" video! I think that lately so many new jeans designs are in fashion, like cropped flare, 70s flare, regular straight, high waist, destroyed, rethinked... Sooo many designs, but... Is it for you? How can you know if it will compliment your body? Hope you can help us! I always appreciate your advice and your fresh and wise point of view! Keep up with the good work!

Also Aly, you can make posts on your community tab here on RUclips, to post a poll and get a precise statistics for your questions =)
No wonder I felt weird with a lot of makeup 😂 made me feel like a pageant toddler
#classic
Okay after much research I have finally figured out that I am a Soft Classic that happens to be tall, not a Soft Dramatic. I'm just too balanced and too yin to be any kind of dramatic, I have no angularity about me at all and SD just didn't quite resemble me. Now it all makes sense xD
Soft classic can be up to 5’8, so yes they can be on the taller side, and not always average height.
I love how you have described every body type as a ‘Unique beauty’!
Just how every woman should be! Thanks! 🥰
you have revolutionized the way I view makeup and beauty.
This is so helpful and makes so much sense given that dramatic makeup always looks weird on me. It would be really helpful if you made videos about jewelry for body types and work attire for body types. I tend to gravitate towards blazers and jackets but being a mix of romantic and theatrical romantic, it would be helpful to know how to make work attire more feminine and delicate for this shape!
For myself I usually prefer matte or only slightly glossy. It just seems to suit me much better. Still have no idea what body type I am, but I will come back to these all one day when I bother to figure it out lol
You are so amazing I have been following you since 2015. You are definitely a cut above every “beauty guru” on RUclips. I have learnt to appreciate different types of beauty thanks to you. I love that you don’t follow trends and explain why something works well or not so well with a person’s individual features and body type.
This is so interesting! I was so stuck between being a soft natural and a flamboyant natural, but I actually recognize myself more in the make up description of a flamboyant natural. I look awful in matte lipsticks. It makes me look older and sucks the life out of my face. I almost always wear a gloss or just a shiny lipstick. I naturally have bold brows, I look unbalanced when they are too thin. This is so interesting.
I'm too early for the timestamps, nooo
Mythical Koala 😂😂😂 glad I'm late
Please do a tutorial on this make up look. It's so beautiful, clean and natural💖
I love these body type series✨ keep up the good work
OMG!! This was a real eye-opener, thank you! I've been wondering all the time, why I tend to look like a dude (a pretty dude, but a dude) when I wear really bold, angular makeup look! (Soft Natural here) This channel helps me to figure out how to look my best! I love experimenting with style, but it's more or less always the combination of "loads of black" (goth til'death), "etno-inspired" (those childhood summers spent on Easern-European countryside), "summer rockabilly" (because POLKA DOTS), and "winter scandinavian" (neutrals and knitwear). Thank you! Love LOVE love this video!

Aly Art a talented artist in many ways! Have you ever considered doing online/Skype consultant work for style, makeup, body typing? ❤️
JEWELRY for the Body Types please! Thumbs up if you agree!!! BTW Aly Something is wrong with youtube! You are our most valuable beauty guru!!!!
can you do a video of right eye makeup for the bodytypes? to be more specific.
Dude, can you do a video specifically for gamines and their characteristics and gestures and energy and that kind of a thing
I'm a soft classic and I absolutely agree with this. When I tried doing _"youtube/Instagram makeup"_ I always looked terrible with all the concealer and contouring.
I look way better with light foundation to just even up my complexion. And I like to use an illuminating primer instead of highlighter so I look glowy. A bit of blush on my cheeks.Then mascara. Clear brow gel. And a blotted lipstick. So my lips have some natural looking color.
Optional:
I like using a shimmery brown eyeshadow just to add some depth to my eyes if I have time. And a bit of black liner on top and tight lining to make my lashes look fuller. On the bottom I also use mascara and a nude or white liner to make my eyes look a bit bigger. After all that I barely look like I have anything on. And I don't really.
Primer- Smashbox
Foundation- Fenty
Blush- Colourpop
Mascara(waterproof) - Drugstore
Brow Gel- Drugstore
Soft Matte Liquid Lipstick- Nyx

What's cool about being a classic category is that since you look better with less it's in your best interest to make sure that the items you do need to get are good quality.
I’ve been following your channel for years, but I just discovered your Kibbe Body Type Series. Bravo! I love how this celebrates the beauty of a wide range of women, instead of encouraging one way to create a look.
I’ve always liked the more Dramatic and Gamine makeup in theory. In reality, though, it never felt right on my face. It turns out I’m a Soft Classic. 🤷🏻♀️
I did the Kibbe test and got most D, which is a Theatrical Romantic, but I'm not sure. I can also se myself in Soft Natural, but I'm leaning more and more into Soft Gamine. Definitely contrasting Yin /Yang lines and shapes in all of these.
It can be hard to access yourself, to understand what you are really seeing in the mirror... But I find this system so fascinating, and I learn more and more. I'm considering getting the book. Thank you Aly! 🧡💛💜
About makup: I never wear lipstick, but I've recently been wanted to get one or two. But my lips are small, and I have no clue what to wear that will not make them look smaller. But what if small lips are not flaws!? Then I would like a smokey read and some kind of nude! 💋💋💋😃😃
Aly, David Kibbie changed so much for me too! Since I was very young... I was able to touch some ground of my type... Нащупать что-то... But there were so many natural clothes in fashion boutiques, in magazines... and just the people around... Fashion for smokey eye makeup looks... And for me, who is a TR or closer to SD, finding out about this system - became so eye-opening.... Long brows, thick eyebrows, eyeliner, glamorous clothes, glitter... Those are some of the things that should be a must for me!
Aly, I gotta day, I love your channel. I’ve been following since the How To Make Your Eyes Look Bigger video and I love the different topics you go into.
I would, however love to see more about the body shape videos but have them include plus size women. I’m 5’8 and weigh over 200lbs; it’s hard to tell for sure what my body type actually is even when I try to just look at what my bones look like. It would mean so much to have a guide for that and I think you probably have a lot of viewers that would appreciate it as well. Keep up the good work! YOU’RE AMAZING!
thank you so much, never knew body type could have any correlation to what makeup suits someone :)
Wow Aly,
I am a dramatic and everything that you said was 100% true especially about the pastels blending out & how it makes you tired looking it’s amazing the knowledge you have attained at such a tender age you my dear, are a make up prodigy 🤟🤘🏻
I love u!!❤️💕
מבין וואי🦋
Thanks Aly, I'm a gamine and I don't wear makeup so this was really helpful!
Hi Aly, i love your videos on the body types - so informative and seems to make so much sense to me....i now understand what i think i subconsciously knew about my style all along - i am a soft classic.
Personally what i would love is if you could make a video describing some fashion brands which represent each body type....personally i struggle to find classic style clothing in a fast fashion modern age, so if there were certain brands or stores where you can find these clothes more easily, that would be so helpful!
Thanks and keep up the good work!
P.S - you have an amazing voice!
I can't thank u enough aly for this video. since I changed my makeup to the right body type, I got a lot of compliments. You helped me a lot find myself. thanks to kibbe for creating this. I love u both 😍
The soft dramatic is not only my body type but the way you describe it is my exact style!
I still can't figure out exactly my type (I'm torn between soft classic, soft gamine, or theatrical romantic lol) but what I do know is that I'm into lip looks with some sheen (translucent color) or dark heavy matte without precise lines. I also love a blended matte eyeshadow look with a veil of shimmer over it and some more concentrated shimmering lines for emphasis! Thanks for another great video!
I always wondered why makeup doesn't look flattering on me. Why it always makes me look like a vamp. Now I think I know why, thanks to you! 😌
I love all of your videos!! Can you do one about lipstick colors for different skin-tones? Warm, Cool, Neutral?
I clicked on this video with a slight doubt, like, makeup is a playground and it's not so easy to categorize what looks good on people. But I couldn't be more wrong. Right from the first type explanation it blew my mind. It's amazing how accurate it is. And you delivered it perfectly, like usually. Thank you!!
Romantic here🤚 I have found that light brown smokey with a contrasted cat or dog liner looks fabulous! Especially when you add a bit of blush and a light lip color. Lisa Eldridge has a fabulous lip color called Sunday matinee that is fabulous❤️❤️❤️
I am a romantic type and I prefer glossy lips over matte.
Thanks for this video! Great information to keep in mind.
Do you do one on one tutoring? I would absolutely pay for even just a one time make-up lesson. I am 36 and I've never learned how to properly apply make-up, so I rarely use much -only mascara and eyeshadow and thanks to you I've become so much better at that with my learning of my hooded eyes!! Never knew that was a thing! It all makes sense now! But I really need help. I don't trust walking in to Sephora and asking one of them to do it because I usually don't like their make-up style. But you're style is gorgeous & NATURAL. If you would be so kind and have the time, I would gladly pay for this service!! Thanks for all you've shown me so far!!
This was one of my favourites so far in the series - though they are all so great.. matte wins out over glitter for me.
Спасибо, Аленушка! I rewatch this video. A few year ago I got really into eye makeup, stated collecting pictures, wanted to master eye makeup looks, explore eye makeup, didn't know much about it, only practiced wing eyeliner since high school... I just collected makeup looks for the color type and some similarity with my looks in many cases
I have always liked complex sophisticated makeup looks, like smokey eyes created in different palettes - like those girls we see in magazines growing up. Like the goal of makeup, "real makeup" of what it can be, as it seemed to us.
But I'm most likely a theatrical romantic, at least, it suits me so well. I found my looks can't pull off grunge - dark, even not heavy smokey eye makeup looks very well, even rather slight, it is not my energy... I went back to liner again, long wings... I found light shimmery colors are so food for me. And I just like colorful eye makeup looks without dark colors in general - like pinkish, very light purple, with the liner. I think glitters suit such looks very well. I think they suit all the relative types of looks - like soft dramatic, soft gamine
i've been watching you since the very first body type video, and i FINALLY figured out that i'm a theatrical romantic !
I’m a soft natural and your makeup guidelines are spot on for me
Yes, this did help. I prefer matte. Second creamy with no shimmer.
Thank you so much! I’ve been looking forward to this video for the longest time 💖
Thank you )))
Wow so now I'm going to stop thinking of myself as a BBW I'm now a romantic body type. Love it. I love how positive she is in these videos. Very informative. Thank you
How amazing - I'm a soft gamine and my favorite lipcolor has always been Cannes by NYX. Coincidence, much!
I'm a dramatic classic and my go to look is exactly as you said, lashes, brows and out the door. May I just add one tip for everyone. Curl your eyelashes, it makes such a great difference.
Nice video, of course :) I would like to just add - for whole classic family and I think this also works for natural types - our make-up looks the best if it is dewy, so with that natural glow, not shimmery, glossy nor super matte. For evening look we can use little bit more contrast - more matte base and pearl eyeshadow (because of different light), but it should be balanced and definetely lips should keep that natural glow (even if they are red). :) In general we look great with light, natural make-up, if it is heavy it ages us.
I love this series of videos . I love the way the categories are defined. Glad to see I've been drawn to the soft dramatic style before I even knew I was one.
I am addicted to these body type videos! Keep them coming!
I like glitter but in very small amounts... I go more often with matte makeup. But pearly eyeshadows i think can elevate and refine any look of mine💗
I will always watch your videos but now with all these loud commercials I have to watch at low volume and from a distance. I can no longer closely study because the sudden commercials at odd moments are jangling my nerves. This as always is a good video. I borrowed the Metamorphosis book from the library to learn more. It is an excellent book, thank you for the recommendation.
I have finally figured out that I am probably a soft classic, and the point about not too heavy and harsh makeup I knew about myself even before I discovered kibbe!! Great video~
Why can I figure out other people easily, but I am still struggling to figure out my own body type?
Swimsuits for the body types?
Wow! Thank you! Now, I realized that my body- type is dramatic- classic and I do everything right :D
As a classic dramatic type I am, I can definetely confirm what you’re saying about too much blending and immediately appearing to look very tired and exausted even if not actually being that!
I think I'm addicted to the way u speak and your voice 😄 watched all of your videos at Least 2 times
I'm wondering what might be good for someone with a more romantic body type, but with a sort of punk/goth-ish style.
She said pastel colors would be good for makeup, but I tend not to use a whole lot of pastels in my look. Mostly black. I'll wear bright colors sometimes, but even then, they're more vibrant and bright, and not really pastels.
A M A Z I N G Work, Aly Art!!! You are a scientist of the world of fashion! Wow! So much information and it all makes perfect sense! You are the best! xxx
I agree on everything! It's wonderful how there's always a style to compliment everyone's looks. :)
You are my favorite youtuber and make-up artist, Aly! Keep up the good work!
I do not know which type I am exactly. I am a typical pear shape with small round shoulders and delicate arms, with thick legs and bottom. My face is round, a lil chubby. Pretty soft. Defined lips, big-ish nose. 160 or 162 cm. I thought maybe Romantic or Soft Gamine. I like to experiment with all types of make-up. I think the only thing that looks quite weird on me is very pastel lips.
As for matte vs shimmery lipstick. I actually love creamy and shiny ones the most.
Matte looks better usually than very shimmery.
So glad you added photos it makes sense and explains your content.
Oooh... now I finally know why contouring, eyeliner, bigger/overdrawn lips or fake lashes look so off on me. Insta makeup is just very sharp and I should just accept me being a romantic and do my korean-like lips, 1 colour of eyeshadow and brown mascara, because it suits me best. I guess it's time for me to stop following trends and beauty standards.
You are right about dramatics looking a bit masculine with too much stage-type makeup. As a middle aged dramatic, I have to forego the artistic makeup looks I see on social media because I look like a drag queen when I wear the overdone Instagram makeup looks. I love drag queens, but they are the only people who should look like drag queens, imo.
How about jewelry for the body types, including watches!
Thank you for this. Now I know why I've aways gravitated towards the sharp yet bold to go with my tall frame.
Thank you so much for your videos, i'm sure you can't imagine how much you've helped people by this, SO SO MUCH. I'm a romantic and all my life i've struggled with fashion because i'd always look better in dresses and skirts like a 60's wife look or in office of MAD MEN(tv show) woman look, i'd try and buy amazing in-style 2018 clothes and makeup but something was always off and now i just understand that they're not just for me , for my body. I am finally at peace with my body. thank you so much for sharing , you have no idea, THANK YOU!!!
I’m a rounder romantic and what she said is true! Heavy makeup never suits me! Def will try her advice ❤️
Personally, I like matt lipstick, that has a bright color (like a red with a little pink) and I don’t apply it full to my lips, I apply some dots on my lips and then I smudge it. Or else it looks too heavy on me.
I think my makeup look is pale face (I never contour or do blush), long lashes, brows filled with powder and bright lips. If I ever do eyeliner, I make a droopy line like Marilyn Monroe, that looks super cute.
Great job Aly! Thank you! When you can, I'd be very interested to see a "jeans for the body types" video! I think that lately so many new jeans designs are in fashion, like cropped flare, 70s flare, regular straight, high waist, destroyed, rethinked... Sooo many designs, but... Is it for you? How can you know if it will compliment your body? Hope you can help us! I always appreciate your advice and your fresh and wise point of view! Keep up with the good work!
You are so on point and so soothing to listen to!
Can you please please please do a wedding dresses for the body types!? Or what wedding dress cuts appeal to the body types?
As a romantic I really look weird trying Glam looks, usually I use very delicate makeup, with at most a bold lip.
