Do you want to beat all the advantages of appearance? Determine your type before making makeup.
This knowledge will be useful to you for both festive and daily looks.
and it doesn’t work out very well? Perhaps the whole point is that this make-up does not suit you according to the type of appearance.
Makeup by Kibby
You must have heard of Kibby’s types. At first glance, everything seems complicated and incomprehensible, but it is not.
There are 5 basic types:
- Dramatic (dramatic) – pure Yang;
- Romantic (romantic) – pure Yin;
- Classic (classic) – a complete harmonious mixture of Yin and Yang;
- Natural (natural) – a mutually beneficial union with distinguishable Yin and Yang characteristics;
- Gamine (gamine) – the collision of Yin and Yang with the preservation of contrasts.
Makeup for the Dramatic type
The dramatic type of appearance according to Kibby is high growth (from 167 cm), lean physique, and sharp cheekbones. An example among the stars is Keira Knightley.
In makeup, a dramatic type of appearance is recommended to focus on the eyes, cheekbones, and eyebrows – that is, the most expressive facial features. Light smokey will look cool, lipstick of wine or berry shades is ideal. But with blush and highlighter, it is better not to overdo it.
Makeup for the Romantic type
The romantic type of appearance is characterized by smooth curves, rounded shapes, and short stature – up to 165 cm. A vivid example is Marilyn Monroe. In makeup, such a girl should pay attention to nude and pale pink shades of shadows and lipsticks.
Makeup for the Classic type
Classic is the rarest appearance type of Kibby. Such girls are distinguished by asymmetrical, perfectly adjusted faces and model figures, their height is from 160 to 170 cm. They are also distinguished by slightly angular shoulders. An example among the stars is Catherine Deneuve.
In this type, a minimum of cosmetics is welcomed, and shading is a must. Thus, it is better to refuse a graphic make-up – for example, clearly drawn black arrows. A bet on naturalness is what you need.
Makeup for the Natural type
Girls of this type of appearance are distinguished by their athletic physique (it may even seem too much to some), while gentle facial features and charisma. An example among the stars is Kate Middleton. Natural light make-up with a glow – ideal for straight people. Nude shades and a minimum of accents (delicate shadows, shading, lip gloss) will look great, but it is better to refuse dark and graphic makeup.
Makeup for the Gamine type
This type of appearance according to Kibby is distinguished by short stature, a neat, slender figure, slightly angular shoulders, a mischievous look (gamin is translated from French as “naughty girl”), and medium-sized facial features. It is not surprising that representatives of this type are called witches because their appearance is almost indestructible. A stark example is Emma Watson.
In makeup, you should focus on the lips, otherwise, you can do with neutral shades, laid eyebrows, and lightly dyed eyelashes. But here the main thing is not to go into completely nude make-up – this does not suit this type.
Makeup by type of dominant or samissive
The popular psychologist Evolution pays a lot of attention to image issues in his blog. So, the blogger describes two main types – dominant and submissive, each of which, in turn, is divided into maternal and child. Let’s take a look at the benefits of each!
Submissive type
Translated from English, submissive means “submissive.” In fact, we are talking about the natural softness of features and roundness of lines, creating a friendly, trustworthy image. So, the popular babyface of Gigi Hadid belongs to this type – as well as the legendary image of Marilyn Monroe.
Smooth outlines, medium-sized facial features, graceful curves of hair – it is women with a submissive type of appearance that take liberties in the form of frivolous curls and puffy skirts. Well, to emphasize the tenderness of the image in makeup, focus on pastel colors and shimmering textures.
Dominant type
Here, everything is the other way around: “dominants” look very cool when they demonstrate not playfulness, but emphasized severity. This type is characterized by large, sharp, and even rough facial features and more rigid contours.
This is the case when contrast is welcomed in the image, for example between pale skin and a bright shade of hair. In make-up, dominants will suit what is associated with femme fatale: “cat” arrows, “dramatic” eyelashes, and blood-red lips.
