What is the Natural Essence?

The clothing lines for Naturals is everything relaxed, oversized, texturized and long. There is a lot of influence in landscapes and nature, as the way a Natural can be perceived is like someone very laid-back, relaxed, but active.

I got natural essence and i totally agree
Quick question how did you get the font it’s so pretty
Hate to say it soft natural here and I have found my people. Lots of us do not have eyebrows or you can barely see them on our faces. Then when I do fill in my brows it adds to the more natural aesthetic look, it so interesting as I cannot believe I thought I was anything else. I got romantic as my main, natural and and angelic in even numbers so now I get to have fun playing with all three.
The quizzes tell me I’m a Dramatic Classic type with a Natural essence and it really does seem to fit.
hey i’m exactly the same as you! 🙂
i’m exactly the same as you 🙂
Hello! When I took the Kibbe test, I came out as Soft Classic maybe because I have a slightly small face that is a bit rounded with small but average lips. One way or another, I may consider myself as a Soft Classic, however I may also consider myself as a Soft Natural.
When I took this test, I came out as
5 Natural, followed by 4 Classic then 3 Dramatic because I prefer things to be laid back and chill but a bit quirky like a 1 Gamine, childlike as an Ingenue 2 and odd like 1 Ethereal. I’m so confused. I don’t know what am I really.
From my understanding, the majority of the population isn’t pure within their essence, meaning most people are more than one essence. In my test, I got a big variety just like you, and honestly, it felt debilitating to find my style without clear answers. However, over time I thought of it as a blessing to be able to dabble in more than one style. Being able to (in a way) make my style. I’d suggest sticking to your higher numbers more so than lower ones and understanding figuring out a better wardrobe will take a wild.
