So happy this channel is back. You articulate these concepts very clearly. So much contradictory and under researched information on beauty lines, essences & personal style has been running rampant lately
I'm so ethereal, even my spine got the message 😂😭 I tried matte black lip on new years and got complements. One said I looked like a porcelain doll. So matte can work, but it must be a solid, single, statement piece.
Thank you Elyssa for this video! I'm happy you showed women with different contrast. I know Kitchener said that Ethereal were low contrast but it kind of rub me the wrong way. Ethereals comes from mythology/arts mainly, and what a being from those worlds could look like would differ from a continent to another and would be closer to the beauty of the area. It would eliminate a big amount of the population too, by extension. It kind of feel like the "Blond is the good girl and the Brunette is the mean one" which in many ways perpetuate a bad ideology. When thinking of Lisa Bonet, we cannot deny her other-worldly qualities. The topic of essences is just so rich and interesting, it's always great to see it evolve as a better tool to help people! I can't wait for part 2!
Totally agree! I am mix with ethereal - main essence. This style fits me best, but everyone keep talking about blond hair and light colours. And i have fair skin but dark brown hair. It´s so confusing for me when my body "fit in there" but not "colours" of my body if it make sense. :(
I just got off a long flight and put this on before sleeping! Your voice is so soothing and I LOOOVE that the video is over 20 minutes! Essences are so interesting, there's so many different ways to utilise them
Great video and lovely to see you again! Gosh I find this essence the hardest to dress everyday in, especially working with children (long gowns and flowy pant suits are a bit of a tripping hazard!). I agree about the long hair too, though not everyone has the right hair texture and context to pull it off. Tilda's short hair looks are amazing and I used her as a reference when cutting my hair short 😇
Hey nice to see you again.. how's baby girl doing? They grow so fast! 😭🥰 I have zero elegance or refinement, but still looking forward to the next upload. (Your video on weightlessness vs depth is my favorite of any essence/ body type/ color season /etc that I've seen. It made way more sense to me than other systems)
Hey! She’s doing good and growing SO fast! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and that my weightlessness vs depth video help add some clarity to Essence ✨ Part 2 is going to be so thorough, I hope people are ready to grab a snack and sit down to a good walkthrough of Ethereal beauty 😊
First time watching your videos and I’ma obsessed!😍 I love the way you explained this, it was very structured rather than scattered like most videos. It feels like you actually know what you’re talking about. I’ve always struggled feeling beautiful growing up because I didn’t understand the beauty of ethereal! I am a natural and ethereal mix so I was so confused why I could never look like the other girls. Now that I’m an adult I’m starting to appreciate my difference and unique look!
Wonderful presentation, Elyssa! I'm 100% ethereal. Soft autumn, low contrast, 5'8"" with small bone structure. Have never felt good in my clothes, now I know why. Looking forward to part two. New to your channel, enjoy your presentation style.
I like all the avoid advice though. I love the 5th element style and fashion in fact. I recently realized Leeloo is like a fashion inspiration haha. Also I believe I have strong edgy essence so good luck to me blending all that out I am an FN after all
Very good video! a request for your next video (as I have 40% ethereal in my blend), please add some more casual wear, workwear, and day to day wear examples. I get that all those amazing otherworldly dresses are amazing on anyone with E, but unfortunately they're pretty unwearable when standing in the middle of a classroom having to teach art and woodworking and stuff or when going to my choir, they might be good for a performance twice a year, but the regular rehersals are way more casual
You've been missed Elyssa! I feared you were gone forever :) Love this new-to-me type. I agree they are extremely rare. I have been in practice for decades and most of my clientele are women, so I do have extensive experience meeting with hundreds of women. ! I'm teaching an "aging with magic and verve" women's course starting this year here in Canada and I was collecting videos to include in my resource recommendation list - you'll be at the top for "styling" :) Happy New Year beauty!
Wow absolutely amazing video ❤ So detailed! Thank you so much, understanding my essence helped me understand sooo many things about my personality and style. You are amazing 🙌🏻🫶🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much! It took me ages to figure it out and I strongly resonate with “kind of like a Gamine but in an opposite way”. Also I see the ethereal essence in Angelina - she might have had a lot of drama around her, but watching her interviews she actually comes across as dignified and soft. Cannot wait for part 2! 🙏🏻
Elysssa- I had to stop in the middle of the video to say THANKYOU! This was the mising link for me! I have FG lines but some gamine elements did not quite fit. ETHEREAL explains a lot for me! I can't thank you enough. Have not heard Ethereal explained quite the way you do. It clicked. OK back to the video.
I'm so excited that you're back! I had a formal analysis years ago that put me as "dramatic natural" in that system and was told I look ethereal (I had been told this before, but find it hard to see myself!). Interesting that you put it between dramatic and natural!
No, but you are so correct on the ethereal versus gamine effect. I literally couldn’t put my foot on it, but you described it perfectly. What I noticed is that they give off certain essence of ethereal so much so that a lot of flamboyant gamines have some sort of ethereal essence and can pull eclectic ethereal looks I like to think of it as the pixie
I still don’t understand entirely how to build a wardrobe for my essence blend. Mine is some combination of ethereal, romantic and ingenue. Kibbe body type would be dramatic but I’m smaller scale than that at 5’7.5”. I forget the name of that first body typer woman who had the ingenue body type but I’d be that in her system. There are a lot of confusing intricacies to all of this.
If you’re having difficulty putting this information into application I highly recommend getting a formal analysis done! I understand how it can be a little overwhelming to sort out all of the finer details. But that’s why there’s different professionals you can get guidance from 💛
@@elyssa_aesthetic are you doing the analysis services right now? you do really great presentations on all of this with detailed suggestions for your videos.
@@HeatherHasGameI am! There’s a link in my description box where you can see my packages and example reports. Each report is 100% custom and very detailed 💛 Shoot me an email if you have any questions elyssa@elyssaaesthetic.com
Welcome back! ❤ I’m seeing Ethereal peer diagnosis EVERYWHERE lately, and I’ve always felt it’s relatively rare. Personally, I don’t jive with it AT ALL, and feel as opposite as can be. I do have a lot of Gamine essence, so what you say here makes so much sense x
Yeah, it seems to a highly sought after beauty aesthetic these days. But after 100’s of analysis I’ve found it to be fairly rare in a high degree. Sometimes there’s women who have a smaller percentage of Ethereal beauty and need that little boost Ethereal styling principles to bring everything together. And, yes, your beauty is fairly opposite of the Ethereal but equally beautiful ✨
I feel someone with ethereal main would have a sexless (looking neither masculine nor feminine rather than looking both?) mature presence in their face, which Liv definitely doesn't fit.
I like how you broke this all down. I need to figure out ethereal but cozy and casual looks! haha. Not even sure it's in my essence--I want to try it out but the practical stay-at-home comfy girl in me just can't quite figure it out.
White jeans, delicate shoes that are metallic, suede or strappy, flowy cardigans and either a cami, tank, wrap top, scoop neck or cowl neck is what I've been experimenting with
This is such an amazing breakdown. Recently stumbled across the while kibbe/ kitchener system and although i am intrigued it is confusing 😅 But the way you break things down and explain essences makes sense to me. Hope you haven't been discouraged from making more videos, these are all so very informative ✨
Actually, I think ethereals often need texture and patterns. It just needs to be subtle and low contrast. If that is neglected then clothing looks off because it lacks the ethereal tone. It is one reason why an ethereal looks so odd in a standard tee. Also, I would say the coloring section is not particularly helpful here for me. I am basically a true winter while also being almost 100% ethereal.
Ethereals look stunning in the right textures like beaded accents and texture through construction like soft folds, twists and gentle knotted effects ✨
I have ethereal as the third part of my blend (dramatic/romantic/ethereal), but I get it--patterns and texture add another dimension to a basic outfit no matter your essence(s). And in my case I'm Dark Autumn, so presenting as the stereotype of ethereal in pale washed out colors isn't an option for me either. I find I do well in oversized abstract patterns, flowing textures, and color schemes borrowed from Italian Renaissance paintings. (The metallics for my season really help to emphasize all three of my essences: Dramatic looks all the more striking, romantic the more glamorous, and ethereal comes leaping out with a bang.) Sorry about the mini-essay--and I do hope you find ways to square your essence with your True Winter palette!
Thank you for all this information! I'm pretty sure I'm close to a pure ethereal . I'm only 5 3'and a half inches tall, but I have a long face, big forehead, sharp chin, high cheek bones, moderate to small lips with cupids bow, a slightly long nose, small ears, and the corners of my eyes and nose tilt down. I was told I'm between an inverted triangle and an hour glass, so I have that curve. I have been told I have dancers feet and have a certain grace. I also feel like I have some fairy youthfulness (I'm 29). I actually haven't been sure what to make of myself for a long time. I hope I'm getting closer. Thank you!
@@elyssa_aesthetic Awe! Haha thank you so much! I keep going back and forth about my essence combination, but hopefully I'm getting closer! Update: I printed out the style essence list of traits. I was equal parts ethereal and ingenue, and a little romantic. I'm starting to now take what I've learned and just relax and have fun with it. 🙂
The typical denim jeans casual look looks most disconnected against this essence in my experience. That can be someone's first possible clue. Colored jeans are workable but the need for a touch of every day elegance is there. Something that leans safari or 90's preppy more than street looks. I'm still navigating fitting casual looks. That could be a video idea.
Absolutely! Stick around for part 2 where I show real women examples. One of them is an ethereal-romantic-natural with ethereal and romantic being her dominant beauty types
You don't think that a small statured person can have the ethereal essence at all? I've seen people who are sculpted yet delicate that in a way resembles fairies and other worldly creatures that popped out of a book. Has the same juxtaposition within their lines, bones and features. What do you think?
Oh I definitely do! Stick around for part 2…..a client of mine who is very small in stature is as close as they come to pure ethereal! The key is statuesque and elongated (or the appearance of elongation)
Interesting thing to put ethereal to Yang instead of Yin and it,s mindblowing too it being between natural and dramatic bc this was my choice as my kibbe body type too! I think though it has more softness compared to naturals. I think the classification should be changed it just doesnt fit.
I don’t know why I idolize certain features and types. Then I get disappointed if I don’t see that in myself. I really want to be ethereal, ingenue, and classic.
Can you be theatrical romantic body type with an ethereal essence? Or is this a contrasting body type and essence? I typify both types but there seems to be a clash.
ok so ethereals are in some way the opposite of gamines like for example they "feels" like "Grown Up Wise Woman" (yang + ying) as to gamines who feel like "Little Childish Boys" (ying +yang)?
In so many words, yes. Ethereals are large scale mature yin and Gamines are small scale youthful yang. They both have a beautiful contrast/contradiction to their beauty.
Elyssa, your "inverted gamine" and "Elongated S" descriptions had me sitting bolt upright! until this video I had failed to find a reference anywhere to the kind of tall Flamboyant Natural that I am. I seem to be a juxtaposition of features which shouldn't be together in a FN. For example tiny wrists attached to wide short hands, a tiny waist joining hips and shoulders which are 2 dress sizes wider, yet a flattish chest and flat rear, a long torso and short legs, circle-arched eyebrows in an otherwise yang face, the list goes on.... Not all your recommendations would work for me, so I doubt I'm a pure ethereal; but many of them explain why I'm drawn to soft draping despite having a yang physique, and why my #1 favorite style of clothing to wear, and what i always get the compliments on, is floor-length dresses. Hmm, maybe I should lean into that more :)
It most definitely sounds like you have some ethereal beauty! And the difference between what some call a FN and an Ethereal is very stark. Naturals will not have the statuesque majesty that pure ethereal a have. And some sense of weightlessness is a must for ethereal beauty. The list goes on but I use ethereal as a main beauty archetype in my system because I believe it’s 100% necessary in order to fully communicate some individuals beauty. I can’t wait for you to see part 2…..I think you’ll really connect with the examples!
@@elyssa_aesthetic Thank you so much for your kind reply Elyssa. Although I can talk about my physical build, I don't think I can be objective enough about my body to say whether I give the impression of being "statuesque" or "weightless". In fact I am quite sure no-one could assess their own "quality", even if they were to watch a video of themselves. I guess that's where an unbiased observer such as yourself comes in! Your video made me realise that when (as it appears to me) the dressing recommendations for "my type" only apply to me to a certain extent, it doesn't really matter whether my body can be categorised as a recognisable type, or whether my body is unique. Either way, I still have to make in-the-moment choices about what to wear. I will always have to dress to accomodate my "tallness" plus "breadth" plus "long torso" plus "x-shaped torso" , and yang flesh. But it's fun to look closely at all the types, to see whether there are design features I might consider borrowing for myself. Ethereal sounds like a look I already have as part of my wardrobe; so I'm looking forward to Part 2!
Thank you for this video, which I really enjoyed. Although I don not agree on Angelina Jolie having ethereal essence. She tries to appear ethereal, because she obviusly likes the aesthetic, but does not have it naturally, as one can see in her body and facial features.
As far as I know ethereals are on the Yin side of the spectrum, like romantics and ingenue . Gamines are Yang. You kinda switched it up. They are also called ethereal yin, being the most yin essence (though it does kinda flow back into yang). Gamines are kibbe yin (body type), while in kitchener (essence) yang.
Yeah I did switch it up! The way I consider beauty within some of the archetypes is different than some beauty and style professionals. I wouldn’t say it’s vastly different, but you’ll find slight variations from stylist to stylist. I consider Ethereal large scale, sculpted mature yin which resides in the yang side of the spectrum and Gamines small scale youthful yang which resides on the yin side of the spectrum. I know it’s popular to consider ethereal the most yin and angelic. That viewpoint seems to have been made popular by Kitchener. But just like McJimsey considered Romantic to be in the middle of the spectrum and Kibbe considered it most yin, there is room for personal creative liberties to be taken ✨ That’s really been the beauty of creating my own method and typing system; I get interpretive and creative freedom 💛 And it’s been so interesting to see a lot of individuals get professionally typed by a few different stylists in this niche (the archetype systems) and get varying results and recommendations.
Definitely not impossible!! There’s a woman in part 2 who’s Gamine-Ethereal and 2 other women I typed as Gamine-Ethereal who opted to not be featured in the video. Totally possible 😊
I dont see why you classified angelina jolie as ethereal. To me, she looked memorable as tomb raider and in other bold looks like that - mrs smith for example. Striking, athletic. I would say she is dramatic, natural and romantic. Yes she looks good in those goddess like dresses, but nothing in her screams ethereal.

So happy this channel is back. You articulate these concepts very clearly. So much contradictory and under researched information on beauty lines, essences & personal style has been running rampant lately
I’m an ethereal, can you please do one for casual ethereal in different seasons . Everyone does one with gowns beautiful but not practical. Help 😊
Ethereal can combine with different styles (classic, romantic, bohemian, etc.) so if you google it, you'll probably find casual looks that express it.
I'm so ethereal, even my spine got the message 😂😭
I tried matte black lip on new years and got complements. One said I looked like a porcelain doll. So matte can work, but it must be a solid, single, statement piece.
😂😂 your spine got the message
Ohhhh I’d love to see your beauty in matte black lipstick! You must have a pull of drama that helps support that!! 😍
Oh wow good observation the dame thing happens to me
Yes I agree, sometimes a wee bit of drama with ethereal is striking in the extreme!
Thank you Elyssa for this video!
I'm happy you showed women with different contrast. I know Kitchener said that Ethereal were low contrast but it kind of rub me the wrong way. Ethereals comes from mythology/arts mainly, and what a being from those worlds could look like would differ from a continent to another and would be closer to the beauty of the area. It would eliminate a big amount of the population too, by extension.
It kind of feel like the "Blond is the good girl and the Brunette is the mean one" which in many ways perpetuate a bad ideology.
When thinking of Lisa Bonet, we cannot deny her other-worldly qualities.
The topic of essences is just so rich and interesting, it's always great to see it evolve as a better tool to help people!
I can't wait for part 2!
Totally agree! I am mix with ethereal - main essence. This style fits me best, but everyone keep talking about blond hair and light colours. And i have fair skin but dark brown hair. It´s so confusing for me when my body "fit in there" but not "colours" of my body if it make sense. :(

Been feeling a little invisible with Kibbe because I’m tall with narrow, delicate bone structure, which doesn’t seem to be a thing in that system
Oh, interesting. When you touched on the voice, that hit *perfectly* from what I've been told abut my voice. Wow.
So pleased to see you back! Your coverage is always so well researched and the examples are insightful
Great video and lovely to see you again! Gosh I find this essence the hardest to dress everyday in, especially working with children (long gowns and flowy pant suits are a bit of a tripping hazard!).

Enjoyed this and for most agree. Angelina seems more dramatic - angles, the eyebrows, the stare - very intense.
Agree,she appears a mix of dramatic and classic.

According to kitchener, Liv is ingenue-romantic btw, she only has 10% ethereal.

any thoughts on how an ethereal/ingenue type looks in their 60's with gray hair???????
I think Betty White at that age might help as a style icon?

I've seen people who are sculpted yet delicate that in a way resembles fairies and other worldly creatures that popped out of a book. Has the same juxtaposition within their lines, bones and features. What do you think?
Oh I definitely do! Stick around for part 2…..a client of mine who is very small in stature is as close as they come to pure ethereal! The key is statuesque and elongated (or the appearance of elongation)
You're back !!! Love your top btw
Thank you ✨ It was make take on Ethereal 🕊
Interesting thing to put ethereal to Yang instead of Yin and it,s mindblowing too it being between natural and dramatic bc this was my choice as my kibbe body type too! I think though it has more softness compared to naturals. I think the classification should be changed it just doesnt fit.
Thank you! (John Kitchener, probably just a mistake sorry if so) ❤
Yep, total slip 🙃
I loved this! Very helpful and I’m excited for part 2!
I don’t know why I idolize certain features and types. Then I get disappointed if I don’t see that in myself. I really want to be ethereal, ingenue, and classic.
Interesting. I have those essences and have always wanted to be a gamine or a natural. What are your essences if I may ask?🎉
Yaaayyy so glad you’re back 🍷🌸🎉!
Welcome back!!!
Can you be theatrical romantic body type with an ethereal essence? Or is this a contrasting body type and essence? I typify both types but there seems to be a clash.
I want to be ethereal. But I'm probably not, any chance I can lean into it anyways?
ok so ethereals are in some way the opposite of gamines like for example they "feels" like "Grown Up Wise Woman" (yang + ying) as to gamines who feel like "Little Childish Boys" (ying +yang)?
In so many words, yes.
Ethereals are large scale mature yin and Gamines are small scale youthful yang. They both have a beautiful contrast/contradiction to their beauty.
Thank you so much, very informative. Do you think Beren Saat (Turkish actress) is ethereal?
Ohhhh I just looked her up! She definitely has some Ethereal beauty 🕊 Maybe I’ll do a formal analysis for her ✨
So sorry I’m late to the video but welcome back ❤
Can’t wait for pt 2!
Elyssa, your "inverted gamine" and "Elongated S" descriptions had me sitting bolt upright! until this video I had failed to find a reference anywhere to the kind of tall Flamboyant Natural that I am. I seem to be a juxtaposition of features which shouldn't be together in a FN. For example tiny wrists attached to wide short hands, a tiny waist joining hips and shoulders which are 2 dress sizes wider, yet a flattish chest and flat rear, a long torso and short legs, circle-arched eyebrows in an otherwise yang face, the list goes on....
Not all your recommendations would work for me, so I doubt I'm a pure ethereal; but many of them explain why I'm drawn to soft draping despite having a yang physique, and why my #1 favorite style of clothing to wear, and what i always get the compliments on, is floor-length dresses. Hmm, maybe I should lean into that more :)
It most definitely sounds like you have some ethereal beauty! And the difference between what some call a FN and an Ethereal is very stark. Naturals will not have the statuesque majesty that pure ethereal a have. And some sense of weightlessness is a must for ethereal beauty. The list goes on but I use ethereal as a main beauty archetype in my system because I believe it’s 100% necessary in order to fully communicate some individuals beauty. I can’t wait for you to see part 2…..I think you’ll really connect with the examples!
@@elyssa_aesthetic Thank you so much for your kind reply Elyssa. Although I can talk about my physical build, I don't think I can be objective enough about my body to say whether I give the impression of being "statuesque" or "weightless". In fact I am quite sure no-one could assess their own "quality", even if they were to watch a video of themselves. I guess that's where an unbiased observer such as yourself comes in!
Your video made me realise that when (as it appears to me) the dressing recommendations for "my type" only apply to me to a certain extent, it doesn't really matter whether my body can be categorised as a recognisable type, or whether my body is unique. Either way, I still have to make in-the-moment choices about what to wear. I will always have to dress to accomodate my "tallness" plus "breadth" plus "long torso" plus "x-shaped torso" , and yang flesh. But it's fun to look closely at all the types, to see whether there are design features I might consider borrowing for myself. Ethereal sounds like a look I already have as part of my wardrobe; so I'm looking forward to Part 2!
Whhaaaat you're back😊💕
I’m am 💛💛
soft natural please!!!!❤
But not all ethereals are light in coloring. Some can be high contrast, no ?
Looking forward to part 2!
Fastest click ever! Welcome back, beautiful!
I think Elizabeth Taylor was an ethereal beauty
Her eyes and delicate beauty ❤❤
Thank you for this video, which I really enjoyed. Although I don not agree on Angelina Jolie having ethereal essence. She tries to appear ethereal, because she obviusly likes the aesthetic, but does not have it naturally, as one can see in her body and facial features.
As far as I know ethereals are on the Yin side of the spectrum, like romantics and ingenue . Gamines are Yang. You kinda switched it up. They are also called ethereal yin, being the most yin essence (though it does kinda flow back into yang). Gamines are kibbe yin (body type), while in kitchener (essence) yang.
Yeah I did switch it up! The way I consider beauty within some of the archetypes is different than some beauty and style professionals. I wouldn’t say it’s vastly different, but you’ll find slight variations from stylist to stylist. I consider Ethereal large scale, sculpted mature yin which resides in the yang side of the spectrum and Gamines small scale youthful yang which resides on the yin side of the spectrum. I know it’s popular to consider ethereal the most yin and angelic. That viewpoint seems to have been made popular by Kitchener. But just like McJimsey considered Romantic to be in the middle of the spectrum and Kibbe considered it most yin, there is room for personal creative liberties to be taken ✨ That’s really been the beauty of creating my own method and typing system; I get interpretive and creative freedom 💛 And it’s been so interesting to see a lot of individuals get professionally typed by a few different stylists in this niche (the archetype systems) and get varying results and recommendations.
I see your point and will definetly check out more of your videos. I do think your perspective is intriguing
Thank you very much for your reply ❤
We miss you 🥲
So good.
are you back????
I’m semi-back at the moment. Being a full time SAHM has been keeping me very busy 😁
Yay! Elyssa!
Is Angelina jolie really an ethereal? She always struck me as a dramatic!!
Yes,she is classic dramatic. Ethereal mmm I doubt. Ethereal is similar to classic tho.
oh heyyy long time no see
Welcome back!
Thank you…..can’t wait for you to see the next video 😉
@@elyssa_aesthetic So excited!
Where is the pants at 18:22 from?
I thought I was "gamine" with "ethereal" essence, so it's impossible?
Definitely not impossible!! There’s a woman in part 2 who’s Gamine-Ethereal and 2 other women I typed as Gamine-Ethereal who opted to not be featured in the video. Totally possible 😊
Thank you!!!@@elyssa_aesthetic
Where is part 2?
I dont see why you classified angelina jolie as ethereal. To me, she looked memorable as tomb raider and in other bold looks like that - mrs smith for example. Striking, athletic. I would say she is dramatic, natural and romantic. Yes she looks good in those goddess like dresses, but nothing in her screams ethereal.
Thank you.
I think I am a strange mix of ethereal and gamine. Lol.
Ethereal-Gamine is a beautiful combo 😍
@@elyssa_aesthetic You are the sweetest. 💜 Thank you for your insightful video. ^-^
