FLAMBOYANT NATURAL PHYSICAL PROFILE

Natural with a Dramatic undercurrent

NOTE: The following information should be taken as a broad outline of what makes a Flamboyant Natural. It is the overall combination of the strong Yang with blunt edges (bold, strong physicality combined with a free spirit) that creates this Image Identity category. Therefore, slight deviation here or there is always possible and should not be worried over if it does not upset your Yin/Yang balance.

Height:
Moderate to very tall, usually 5 feet 5 inches and over.

Bone structure:
Large and angular with blunt edges.
Broad and square bones.
Wide shoulders.
Long arms and legs.
Large hands and feet (usually somewhat wide, but they may also be narrow, with long fingers and toes).
Broad or prominent facial contours (nose, cheeks, jaw - blunt, not sharp).

Body type:
Straight and angular (broad, not sharp).
Arms and legs tend toward musculature.
Bust and hips tend to be flat or straight (unless very overweight).

Facial features:
Broad, blunt and open.
Eyes may be very large and open or very straight and small.
Lips will be straight and slightly thin.
Cheeks will usually be taut, unless overweight.

Hair:
Tends toward extreme textures: either very straight and fine, or very thick and coarsely wavy/curly.

Coloring:
Any coloring is possible (warm or cool, high-contrast or blended), although Flamboyant Naturals tend to have skin that either freckles or suntans quite easily.

If overweight:
Body tends to become square and stocky, and the face becomes fleshy and puffy. Extreme excess weight will collect primarily from the waist down.

Flamboyant Natural: Strong oft Yang with Blunt Edges

Prime Celebrity Example: Shirley MacLaine

Your position on the Yin/Yang scale is: strong Yang with blunt edges (not sharp). Physically, you are broad or long, and angular. Your features are prominent and strong, without being sharp or severe. Innately, you are bold, charismatic, innovative, creative, and impulsive, totally devoted to action. You are also open, warm, friendly, and not at all reserved-- very approachable.

You will definitely want to read both the Natural and Dramatic sections of this book, and you will find yourself identifying at times with elements of each.

However, please remember, you are not an equal combination of the two categories.

Always bear in mind that you are a Natural first and foremost! Your Dramatic undercurrent should always be used as an afterthought to further spice-up and add bold strokes to your appearance. It is not a substitution. It is an addition to express that extra bit of Yang present in your being.

To express your strong Yang with blunt edges total essence, we want to develop an appearance that could best be described as : Free Spirit Chic.

Your silhouette is boldly unconstructed, composed of oversized or irregular geometric shapes with soft edges (not sharp). Lines are relaxed and sweeping, always executed in bold strokes, with an emphasis on the strongly vertical and strongly horizontal. Stiff tailoring and severe lines should be left by the wayside, for they will be extremely cold and stark on you, totally out of keeping with your warmth and openness. They will also make you appear awkward and gawky, for you have too much broadness to be successfully encompassed by sleek and narrow clothing.

Detail should be plain and simple. Nothing fussy or overdone would be in keeping with your Natural sensibilities. Loose and uncluttered necklines (boat necks, large cowls, deep V's, etc.) and simple lapels, cuffs, and hemlines are the foundation of your look. Shoulders will always be broad, although here again they should not be sharp.

Your accessories, however, should be extremely bold. Here is where your Dramatic undercurrent gets to have free reign! Oversized and exotic necklaces, earrings, wrist cuffs, and the like, are stunning on you. Your wild passion is especially well expressed by striking ethnic pieces, which are considered works of art. The only rule is that the shapes are always chunky-- geometrics that have soft edges or are irregularly shaped. Extremely large costume jewelry that is offbeat and funky is also a nice way of expressing your raucous sense of humor.

Shoes and bags, coming from the Yang side, should generally be angular. However, once again we want to avoid sharp edges and keep the detail minimal. Any unstructured shapes will always work best for you.

Your hairstyle should combine high-style sophistication with tousled freedom. Layering is always necessary, which provides the freshness and avoids a sharp outline. The overall shape of the cut is geometric, but it must never be hard-edged or severe! Asymmetry is possible, but an overly stylized approach will seem very artificial and phony on you-- stuffy is another way of putting it! Depending on the texture of your hair, it can be either long or short. If your hair is very fine and wispy (which may have come from the extra yang you inherited), a short cut that is layered off the face is best. If your hair is thick and full, by all means go for the "lion's mane" look if you have the courage! One word of caution: If your hair is of the ultrathin variety, don't try to make it appear thicker with perms and waves. They'll only give you a scraggly look. Far better to layer it around the face in the shorter cut, which gives more of an illusion of volume.

Makeup should be strongly contoured in shape, emphasizing strong eyes, strong lips, strong cheekbones, but not overly colorful. An exotic eye makeup is a nice touch, but avoid colors that are too artificial-looking and excess glitz. On the other hand, makeup that is too minimal in effect is very unsophisticated on you. Your head-to-toe look-- bold and sweeping, uncluttered with exotic accessories-- requires the extra effort here to be completed in the most polished and sophisticated manner.

This is the best way for the world to see you at your charismatic best. We always want to know that you are a risk-taker and an adventurer, someone who will always have an original approach to anything you encounter in life.

Your stark quality becomes evident when you clearly express your bold and daring nature as well as your warm and open personality in your appearance. When you dare to express the full range of your strength and flexibility, you are utterly approachable and perfectly sophisticated at the same time!

Your passion excites us, your openness attracts us, and your powerful charisma inspires us. Become comfortable with these qualities to the point where they effortlessly flow from you. Express them in your appearance with delight!

Then, we are the most captive audience you could possibly receive. We are absolutely dying to know "which mountain you'll be moving next"-- and believe me, once your free spirit is clearly visible, we'll be lining up to help you move it!

FLAMBOYANT NATURAL CELEBRITIES

The following list is meant to help give you a clearer picture of what a Flamboyant Natural can be when she is visually defined. It is not meant to suggest that the women included always dress to their best advantage, so please be careful when you view pictures of them. Because every human being is truly an individual, all Flamboyant Naturals have unique qualities that set them apart from everyone else! Therefore, concentrate on discovering the continuity that ties these celebrities together. I think you'll find that they each share a very wild and fresh physical beauty, along with a very strong-willed, powerful, and creative essence.

NATURAL

YIN/YANG BALANCE
Soft Yang (between the symmetrical balance of the Classic and the sharp-edged Yang of the Dramatic)

SHAPE
Geometric shapes with soft or rounded edges are the key. Rounded-edged rectangles. Soft oblongs, rounded-edged squares, irregular shapes, and soft asymmetrics.
Avoid: Sharp geometrics. Circles and swirls. Ornate shapes.

LINE AND SILHOUETTE
A relaxed, straight line is the outline of your look. Your silhouette is softly tailored, always unconstructed. Your outline should be fairly narrow and slim, in a loose and easy way.
Avoid: Sharply angular lines. Severely straight lines. Extremely tailored or constructed silhouettes. Oversized, shapeless silhouettes. Ornate, intricate lines. Flowing, swirling lines.

FABRIC
All soft textures are excellent for you, as is any fabric with a rough or nubby surface. Any wrinkly fabric works well for you, as do all woven fabrics. Knits are excellent in nearly any weight and thickness, from very finely woven to very heavy and rough. Moderate weights are best, although textures can easily be lighter (raw silks, linens, etc.). Plush velours, suede, and soft leather are perfect, and drapable fabrics are best kept to heavier weight jerseys. A matte finish is far superior to sheen for daytime (even your best silks are crisp orientals, etc.). In the evening, you can go very glitzy with hard-finished sheens (especially metallics, lame, thick brocades, etc.).
Avoid: Sheer fabrics. Clingy fabrics (except for knits). Flimsy fabrics.

DETAILS

Detail should be kept minimal. Plain and simple is best for you. Any unconstructed or loosely tailored detail works well. Simple necklines (soft horizontals, boat-necks, clean slashes, deep V's, loose cowls, notched collars) are best, and you should concentrate on open necklines for your air of casual chic.
Soft-edged shoulder pads are very good, and lapels should be tailored, notched, or clean (lapel-less). Cuffs should be very plain. Pleats should be soft and deep, and gathers should be minimal. Dropped waist detail (loose sashes, over-bloused tops, ties, etc.) is excellent, as are slightly dropped shoulders. You can use small touches of hand embroidery or rough lace and eyelet for very simple trim.

Avoid: Extremely tailored detail. Extremely sharp or angular detail. Extremely oversized detail. Ornate or intricate detail. Any frilly detail. Any closed or restrictive detail.

SEPARATES
Separates are extremely exciting on you, and should make up the bulk of your wardrobe. Even in very conservative suited looks, you'll do better with an artful mixing of patterns, textures, and colors than you will with an overly matched look, which tends to be extraordinarily dull on you! The type of articles that are usually described as "Designer Sportswear" (but aren't actually sporty at all) are an excellent hunting ground for you! Your look is definitely mix 'n match in the most sophisticated sense of the word, and you should expend most of your creative energy in this area!

JACKETS
Unconstructed. Relaxed shapes. Elongated (ending from the upper thigh on down). Relaxed and easy fit. Soft-edged shoulder pads. Textured surfaces. Patch pockets. Tailored, notched lapels, or lapel-less. Long cardigan styles with shoulder pads. Unconstructed double-breasted (left open). Long blouson with dropped waists.

Avoid: Severely tailored styles. Constructed styles. Flouncy styles (peplums and nipped-in waists). Cropped styles.

SKIRTS

Simple straight skirts, Softly tailored styles. Culottes, gauchos. Simple tailored detail (plackets, pockets, trouser pleats, slits, low kick pleats, inverted pleats, button-front). Moderate length (one inch below knee). Very short skirts for fun/funky looks. Very slightly flared hemlines (kept flat through the hip area-these will have a longer hemline, mid-calf).

Avoid: Full, gathered skirts. Flouncy skirts. Accordian pleats. Severely straight skirts. Long, pencil-slim skirts.

PANTS
Nearly all styles are excellent, from very casual to very dressy. Simple tailored styles with minimal detail. Elasticized or drawstring. Unconstructed styles.

Sweats. Jeans. Short, cropped, or long. Cuffed or cuffless. Shiny, silky, or satiny evening styles, including pajama styles.

Avoid: Draped, tapered leg styles with gathered waists.

BLOUSES
Simple tailored styles with open necklines. Unconstructed styles. Smooth surfaced, or light weaves and textures.
Avoid: Severely tailored blouses. Frilly blouses.

SWEATERS
Nearly any sweater style works well for you. Thick knits, ribbed, nubbies, cable stitching, shaggy mohairs. Any and all lengths. Soft shoulder pads are also a good touch. Solids and wild prints.
Avoid: Overly delicate and overly fluffy knits with trim.

DRESSES
Dresses should e simple and unconstructed, with a narrow shape and a relaxed outline. Softly tailored styles work well, as do dropped and loose-waisted styles.
A softly tailored coatdress with an open neckline or a narrow chemise in a beautifully textured raw silk or linen would be another choice. Nearly all knits are perfect, as are wrap styles, safari styles, T-shirt styles, and blouson or two-piece styles.
Avoid: Severely tailored styles. Flouncy styles. Ornate styles. Extremely wide, shapless styles.

COLORS
Color is an area in which you should have lots of fun! Strive for zip, verve, and lots of pizzazz with bolds, brights, pastels, vivids, and wild color combinations-anything imaginative. Neutrals work well when they are used in beautifully textured fabric (raw silks, linens, luscious weaves, etc.), but you
 will feel a little dull without a few bright accents, either in accessories or jewelry. Break all the rules when it comes to color! Mix 'n match with ease.
Avoid: Monochromatic color schemes-they are very dull and boring on you, unless the fabric is exquisitely textured beyond belief!

PRINTS
Your use of prints can include casual styles that are soft-edged geometrics (plaids, stripes, paisleys, etc.) and funky prints in irregular shapes (abstract asymmetrics, leaves, animal prints, etc.). They should be of moderate scale to slightly large and will generally have a softly blended edge. Colors can be very wild and unusual if you wish, or more muted and earthy-looking.
Avoid: Small prints. Symmetrical prints. Extremely angular geometrics. Watercolor florals. Ornate and intricate prints. Extremely oversized prints.

ACCESSORIES
Accessories should be kept minimal; plain and simple is your best look here. Unconstructed styles with soft or rounded edged geometric shapes are most effective. You can use bold colors to add spark if you wish, although neutrals are also fine.

SHOES
Simple tailored styles. Low to moderate heel. High heels should be very angular and straight, not tapered. Stacked heel, wedged, and all flats. Evening sandals should be very bare, not strappy. Tapered toe, open (plain), or closed.
Avoid: Overly delicate or strappy styles. Ornamentation and trim.

BAGS
Moderate-sized, unconstructed pouches. Shoulder bags. Simple geometrics in supple leather (envelopes, clutches, etc.). Box-shaped bags for evening.
Avoid: Overly delicate or ornate styles.

BELTS
Leather belts should be simple and softly geometric. Textured or carved surfaces are excellent. Fabric sashes, ties, and dropped waist detail are also good.
Avoid: Severe, wild belts. Ornate, cinched-waist styles.

HATS
Unconstructed styles. Large, loose, and floppy. Shaggy-haired fur.
Avoid: Extremely tailored, crisp styles. Ornate and delicate styles.

HOSIERY
A flesh-toned stocking is best for business. Funky stockings that are brightly colored or printed can be fun for you, and geometric textures can sometimes be effective.
Avoid: One long line of dark color. Dark stockings for daytime. Lacy or ornate stockings.

JEWELRY
Jewelry should be kept on the chunky side, with soft or rounded-edged geometrics the shapes you use. Your jewelry can either be pieces of "wearable art" (handcrafted and museum quality) made by an artist or taken from another culture, or it can be bright and funky costume pieces that add pizzazz!
Earthy materials are very elegant and sophisticated on you (copper, silver, amber, turquoise, etc.). Hard-finished enamels and glass are fun, especially when used in bold colors for vivid accents (big bright beads, chunky earrings, irregularly shaped pins, etc.). It is possible to get away with very minimal chains, tiny diamond studs, etc., but chances are you won't be satisfied with this once you experiment with a zippier look!
Avoid: Ornate and intricate styles. Antique, rococo, and baroque. Dangly and delicate styles. Severe or sharply angular styles. Small jewelry. Symmetrical and classic styles.

EVENING WEAR
Simple shapes with easy fits. Minimal detail. Bare necklines and shoulders. Smooth to slightly plush fabrics. Glitzy fabrics. Metallics.
Bare Sheaths
Strapless gowns with stoles and flings
Jersey cocktail dresses
Evening sweater-dresses with glitz
Evening sarongs
Evening separates (blouses, skirts, pants)
Evening pants

HAIR
Hair should be tousled, loose, and free-a soft geometric shape with a feathered outline. Layering is essential. Perms and body waves are fine, and your hair can definitely lean to the "wild animal-mane look" for fun or evening wear!

HAIRCOLOR
Haircolor should always look natural with realistic color and shining, subtle highlights. Be very careful with complete color changes. Artificial colors or lights are very unsophisticated on your. Over high-lighting the hair is particularly matronly on you.
Avoid: Smooth, sleek styles. Blunt-edged cuts. Severe geometrics. Boyishly cropped cuts. Overly groomed styles (too stuffy and matronly on you). Ornate or set styles. Overly teased and coiffed styles.

MAKEUP
Your makeup should be created to achieve a fresh-faced glow, radiant and healthy. Matte-finished products are best, with just a touch of sparkle added for evening. Smoky eyes with glowing cheeks and shining lips come from a preponderance of neutral color choices, with just a hint or soft color on top.

NOTE: A minimal makeup look is not the same thing as wearing no makeup! The most careful blending of products is crucial for you; otherwise you'll appear faded and tired, hardly the picture of health you want to project!

Avoid: Overly colorful makeup. Overly sparkly makeup. Overly angular or severe makeup. High-contrast makeup (pale skin, vivid eyes, lips mouth). Wearing absolutely no makeup, or only eye makeup.

YOUR NATURAL FACE

YIN/YANG BALANCE:
Soft Yang
MAKEUP CONCEPT:
The Fresh Face: Neutral color choices (within the context of the palette being used) with hints of bright color for vitality. Slightly angular blending, but very soft-edged.

APPLICATION KEYS:
Eyes: Muted shades with a hint of bright color. Very blended eyeliner. Matte products.

Blush: Moderate colors that are well-blended for a muted effect. Applied in an angular stroke but with soft edges to avoid sharpness.

Lips: Moderate color, sheer and translucent.

Avoid: An overly ornate face.

NATURAL

The more moderate Yang side of the Yin/Yang scale, falling between the extreme, sharp Yang of the Dramatic and the balance of the Classic, is the Natural, characterized by straight and slightly muscular body type; and angular, but slightly broad bone structure; and angular, slightly wide facial features that tend to be blunt-edged (wide-spaced eyes; strong, straight lips; a blunt or slightly wide nose and jawline; and moderately angular cheekbones that tend toward width.)

Physically your softly angular bone structure, asymmetrical features with blunt edges, and slightly muscular body type reiterate your inner freedom and great sense of fun in an outer way. This is the soft edge of Yang-bold and direct, but never sharp, cool, or aloof.

To express your soft Yang total essence, we want to develop an appearance that could best be described as: Girl Next Door Chic. To do this effectively, we want to utilize your soft Yang to create a look that is vibrantly alive and freshly appealing, with nothing overly fussy, fitted, or structured spoiling the effect or obscuring your healthy appetite for life!

A loose hairstyle, layered for a slightly tousled effect; relaxed and unconstructed clothing in soft-edged geometric shapes (rounded rectangles, squares, and the like); and a minimal-looking makeup emphasizing a "fresh-faced glow" all combine to create an appearance that clearly relates your free-wheeling sense of adventure and buoyantly high spirits!

We certainly don't want to weigh you down with excess touches. A simple approach to accessories and jewelry is best, with a tendency toward earthy materials-such as copper, leather, and silver-paired with slightly oversized, unstructured shapes. Any unusual piece that has been crafted or created by an artist would be highly effective for a bit of extra spice. However, always remember that less is definitely more for you! We never want to obscure your fresh appeal.

The result? Your warmth and charisma are clearly expressed in the most natural, seamless manner possible. Not only have you become the most stunning and striking woman you can be, you have also expressed your heart and should in your appearance.

And indeed, my dear, open, radiant, glowing, bold Natural friend, that is the very point of your metamorphosis! You are as charmingly all-American as apple pie, as refreshing as the girl next door, as alluring as a juicy piece of watermelon on a sweltering August day.

When you are on display in all your Natural glory, the world finds you totally and utterly endearing, for we respond to you as the rejuvenating breath of fresh air you truly are!

NATURAL CELEBRITIES

The following list is meant to help give you a clearer picture of what a Natural can be when she is visually defined. It is not meant to suggest that the women included always dress to their best advantage, so please be careful when you view pictures of them. Because each human being is truly an individual, all Naturals have unique qualities that set them apart from everyone else! Therefore, concentrate on discovering the continuity that ties these celebrities together.

SOFT NATURAL

Your position on the Yin/Yang scale is: Soft Yang with a Yin undercurrent.

Shape:
Asymmetric and irregular curves (elongated ovals, wide circles, ellipticals, etc.). Relaxed geometrics with rounded edges. Easy swirls.
Avoid: Sharp geometrics. Wide, chunky and boxy shapes. Plain, symmetrical shapes. Overly ornate shapes.

Line and Silhouette:
Unconstructed silhouette with shaping, particularly at waist. Relaxed lines with subtle drape and flow, particularly bias cuts.
Avoid: Wide, shapeless silhouettes. Sharp, severe silhouettes. Symmetrical silhouettes. Fitted silhouettes.

Detail:
Detail should be loose, relaxed, delicate, slightly intricate and very creative. Any detail that suggest either a bit of the antique or the earth is excellent.

Shoulders may be extended and padded, but should not be sharp or stiff.

Necklines should be loose and soft, not closed, restricted, or fussy (simple draped necklines; soft cowls, soft, notched collars; clean lapels, shawl collars, etc.)
Waist should be defined, although loosely. There can be a slightly blousy effect at the waist, with the top draped over the waistline, or a slightly dropped waist as long as the silhouette is fluid.

Gathers and folds should be deep, full and soft.

Sleeves can be full and flowing or gently tapered at the wrist with a minimum of detail.

Trim should be delicate and antique (shirring, applique, etc.).

Avoid: Sharply tailored detail. No detail. Overly fitted and fussy detail. Animated "perky" detail.


Color:
Your use of color should be vibrant and rich. Brights and pastels form the basis of your wardrobe, but soft neutrals with a little vivid accenting can be very elegant and exciting in beautiful textures. Dark colors will be too stark if your don't break them up. Use them primarily for accents or for color combinations. Bright and soft color combinations work best, as opposed to starkly contrasting ones. For example light/bright or bright/dark combos are softer on you than light/dark ones. Wild color combinations (bright/bright) of opposing intensities are fun, particularly for your casual clothes.
Avoid: Dull, monochromatic schemes. Head-to-toe dark schemes.

Prints:
Prints should be softly rounded shapes, abstract and flowing. They may be either watercolor-blended or very electric and vibrant, as long as they are slightly irregular and have soft edges. Size should be moderate to slightly large.
Avoid: Small, symmetrical prints. Severe geometrics. Overly intricate prints. Animated, "cute" or "perky" prints.

Because there is an earthiness that comes from your soft Yang basis, anything tactile is excellent on you. Soft textures--such as slubbed fabrics, handkerchief linens, raw silk, fuzzy knits--are very good choices when kept to the lightweight side and used in an unstructured silhouette.

Fabric:
Soft textures with a plush or slightly rough finish. A tactile feeling is very stunning and evocative of your freshly feminine and artistic essence. Weights should be light to moderate so fluid movement is possible. Anything wrinkly, nubby, slubbed, or loosely woven is excellent, particularly in a daytime, suited look. Shiny fabrics may be worn with ease in the evening, but should be left aside for day, except for slight sheen of texture (such as shantung). Deep pile (velour, suede, boucle knits, etc.) is excellent, as is buttery-soft leather.

Separates:
An obvious use of separates is excellent for you. Be sure to keep an artful blend of textures, colors and patterns.

Jackets:
Jackets should be unconstructed, soft, and always showing the waist (but not necessarily emphasizing it). This can be a jacket that is shaped through the waist, or it can be a jacket that is unstructured and very lightweight or flimsy, so that it drapes around the body but still reveals the waist. Shoulders can be extended and padded, without being crisp, and the length can be shortish if the jacket is shaped through the waist, or longer (top of the thigh area) if it is belted or unconstructed / boxy. Jackets that are not shaped or belted must be very draped and fluid, and should be left unfastened.
Avoid: Severely tailored jackets. Long, heavy jackets, whether constructed or not. Cropped bolero jackets.
Flouncy jackets that are overly fitted and trim.
Skirts:
Skirts should have a soft outline. Full or flared skirts that are flat in the hip area are excellent. Straight skirts that are lightweight, draped, or slightly tapered are also good.

Straight skirts that have an even hem and are worn short, no longer than the bottom of the kneecap. Full skirts have an uneven hem and are worn long, mid calf and below.

Slits, kick pleats, button fronts, plackets, etc., are all fine, as are bits of intricate detail (shirring, draping, etc.), as long as they are not restrictive.

Avoid: Long, straight, pencil-slim skirts. Overly fitted skirts with excess trim. Symmetrical skirts (i.e., A-lines).

Pants:
Pants should be lightweight and slightly draped, with a bit of soft detail or ornate trim (gathers, shirring, soft pleats). Legs may be softly straight, draping about the ankle, or slightly tapered and pegged.
Avoid: Severe, man-tailored styles. Wide, shapeless styles. Plain, symmetrical styles. Overly fitted styles with fussy trim.

Blouses:
Blouses should be soft, draped, and slightly loose and billowy or clingy. Detail should be slightly antique and intricate, but should not be fussy and overdone. Open necks are best, particularly if draped, and camisoles are also good. The more detail there is, the more unconstructed the blouses should be.
Sheer fabrics are excellent (voiles, batiste, etc.). The shiner the fabric, the less detail there should be.
Avoid: Stiffly tailored blouses. Severe blouses. Fussy necklines. Shapeless blouses.

Sweaters:
Soft knits that are luxurious to the touch. They can be either lightweight and silky or thick and deep, just as long as they don't ever seem rough.
Slightly long sweaters are nice, if they are somewhat clingy and reveal the body (particularly the waist) underneath. Cropped or fitted sweaters should be thicker (boucle, cable-stitched, etc.) and any detail (shirring, draping, etc.) should be low on the body and loose. Trim such as applique, jewels, beading, etc., should be slightly antique or softly abstract in shape. Skinny, ribbed knits can be fun, especially in dresses that your belt.
Avoid: Heavy sweaters that hide the body.

Dresses:
Dresses should be soft and flowing, but at the same time loose and unconstructed. They should either loosely define the waist in full, flared silhouettes, or be very draped and clingy in a straighter silhouette. Detail should be low on the body (shirring, gathers, applique, sparkly trim, etc.) as opposed to high or framing the face. A slightly antique approach to dresses is also possible, but keep them loose and billowy instead of fussy and overly fitted.
Avoid: Severely tailored styles. Plain symmetrical styles. Wide, shapeless styles. Overly fussy styles. Crisp, fitted styles.
Evening Wear:
Simple shapes with an easy flow. Drapable fabrics. Plush fabrics. Sightly sheer fabrics. Glitzy trim. Loose waist detail. Soft necklines.
Flowing gowns with flared skirts
Pouffy cocktail dressed with fitted tops and flouncy skirts (long or short)
Evening sarongs
Evening separates (blouses, sweaters, etc.)
Draped pants
Antique lace dresses.

Accessories:
Accessories should be on the lightweight and delicate side, without being overly ornate or trimmed. Yet at the same time your creativity will cry out for special touches here and there. The trick is not to overdo it! You are a Natural, after all, so a little goes a long way on you. One special piece, perhaps a beautiful supple belt of suede with an ornate Navajo Indian buckle, will be just the right accent to express your inner creativity without overpowering the fresh and simple appeal that is the centerpiece of your Image Identity.

Shoes:
Should be tapered in shape and slightly delicate in style with little or no trim. an open-toe, sling-back, or "bare" look is best. The shape may also be angular if the heel is very high and narrow and the toe is very tapered. Feminine flats with little trim.
Avoid: Extremely angular, heavy styles.
Bags:
Should be moderate in size. Shape may be slightly rounded with little or not trim, or softly geometric with slight gathers or intricacy to soften. Antique bags are excellent for evening (small and beaded). Moderate sized, unconstructed "pouchy" styles are also good.
Avoid: Crisply structured bags.

Belts (if worn):
Should be wide and supple, either soft leather or suede, or exquisite fabric. Buckles should be intricate and slightly antique, with sparkles or beading for evening especially lovely.
Avoid: Stiff belts.

Hats:
Should be soft and floppy (i.e., picture frame) or rounded and clean (i.e., crisp-brimmed straw). Detail should be soft (antique, ribbons, lace, or flowers).
Fur hats are soft and fluffy.
Avoid: Severe, man-tailored styles. Small, symmetrical styles. Small crisp caps.

Hosiery:
Flesh-toned stockings are best for an elegant daytime work look if you wear a suit. Opaque stockings in light shades are soft, and you may definitely contrast the stocking with the hemline, if you wish. Bright and textured stockings are excellent for fun. Dark stockings are for evening only and should be very sexy and sheer, with lacy textures or exciting sparkles. (Sexy!)
Avoid: One long line of dark color (too dull and matronly on you).

Jewelry:
Likewise your jewelry is most effective when it has some texture to it, as well as the feeling of having been hand-designed and created. The look that suggests the spirit of an artist is embedded in your necklace, earrings, or ornate wrist cuffs is simply a fabulous way of evoking your wild passion and warmth. Again, just remember to keep a touch of the delicate and the ornate evident in shape, detail, and finish.
Your Jewelry should be delicate in workmanship but highly creative in effect. Unusual materials, particularly crystal, hand-wrought copper or silver, leather, intricately carved leather or stone, faceted glass, and any piece that looks as though it was designed by an artist is wonderful for you. "Wearable art" suits you best, ranging from wild and funky pieces with feathers, faux jewels, and sparkles to ornate Navajo Indian turquoise to elegant mixtures of opals, diamonds, and platinum! It must be both highly original and slightly intricate at the same time. Very simple antique pieces are also quite appropriate, especially for very dressy evenings, but always make sure there is at least a touch of sparkle and a bit of dangle!
Avoid: Severe geometrics. Stark, avant-garde pieces. Minimal, "no jewelry" looks. Small, symmetrical pieces. Heavy, chunky pieces.

HAIR AND MAKEUP

Both your hair and makeup should be creative, fresh and soft. A moderate to longish hairstyle is best, and it should always be layered for freedom of movement.

Blunt cuts will be boring, and geometrics will be harsh and severe. For the same reason, a "fresh face" with touches of soft color is the makeup that will complete your head-to-toe look most appealing. (Hair should be soft and free. A loosely layered cut, giving the hair a slightly tousled and softly sensual look, is best. Length should be moderate to long.)

Hair:
Hair should be soft and free. A loosely layered cut, giving the hair a slightly tousled and softly sensual look, is best.
Length should be moderate to long.
Avoid: Severe, geometric cuts. Blunt-edged cuts, symmetrical cuts. Boyishly cropped hair. Overly ornate and stylized hair (except for evening styles, which should then be highly original very witty).

Haircolor:
Haircolor should be rich, natural, and soft looking. It should not look as if you color your hair. If you choose to do so, make sure the effect is subtle, not drastic. Subtle lowlights.
Avoid: Boldly theatrical colors (blue-black, platinum, or straw-yellow blond, firey red, etc.). Overly lightened hair.

Makeup:
Your makeup is crucial to pulling your head-to-toe appearance together. it should be fresh face with only a hint of soft/bright color, styled in a watercolor blend. A touch of frost to the eyes, very rosy and rounded cheeks, and soft and glossy lips finish your fresh and feminine loveliness to perfection. In the evening, sheer sparkle may be added at will (but be careful that it remains fairly translucent).
Avoid: Heavy contouring (too stark). Dark colors--smoky eyes, deep lips (too severe). Neutrals (too tired and aging). "No makeup" look (too dull and matronly).

Makeup Concept:

The Radiant Face: Soft and bright colors blended, in rounded shapes, to a muted watercolor swirl. Primarily matte colors with just a touch of sparkle.

Application Keys:
Eyes: Soft to bright colors, very smudged together with a hint of sparkle on top. Very blended eyeliner. Extra mascara.
Blush: Soft and rounded cheeks with pastel or "pretty" color (within the contet of the palette being used).
Lips: Full and glossy. Softly pastel to bright colors. Semi-sheer.
Avoid: A neutral face with no soft or bright color. Heavy contouring (too stark). Dark colors--smoky eyes, deep lips (too severe). Neutrals (too tired and aging).

SOFT NATURAL PHYSICAL PROFILE

Natural with a Romantic undercurrent

NOTE: The following information should be taken as a broad outline of what makes a Soft Natural. It is the overall combination of the very soft Yang with a Yin undercurrent (slightly soft and fleshy body type on an angular frame combined with an appealing innocent essence) that creates this Image Identity category. Therefore, slight deviation here or there is always possible and should not be worried over if it does not upset your Yin/Yang balance.

Height:
Moderate to slightly small, up to 5 feet 7 inches.

Bone structure:
Slightly angular bones.
Slightly square or broad shoulders.
Moderate to slightly short limbs (slightly leggy look also possible).
Slightly blunt, or small and irregular facial contours (nose, cheekbones, and jawline).
Hands and feet are moderate and fleshy, or slightly small and wide.

Body type:
Slightly soft, tends towards fleshiness.
Slightly small waist that's in proportion to bust and hips.
Slightly curvy, tends to an hourglass shape, but not extremely so.
Slightly fleshy upper arms and thighs.

Facial features:
Full and rounded.
Round eyes, full lips, soft cheeks.
Nose tends to be small and wide, or slightly irregular (blunt or wide).

Hair:
Any texture is possible, but it tends toward softness. If the hair is straight, it is usually fine and wispy. If wavy/curly it is usually silky, as opposed to coarse.

Coloring:
Any coloring is possible (warm or cool), but a Soft Natural usually has a somewhat blended coloring (although occasionally high-contrast coloring is also found). Skin tone tends to be somewhat delicate and luminous, and freckles in the sun or gently tans after an initial slight burn.

If overweight:
Body tends to become extremely soft and fleshy, with the waist thickening. The upper arms, thighs, and hips tend to collect excess weight and cellulite most rapidly.

A Soft Natural will not:
  • Have an extremely straight body type
  • Have extremely sharp features
  • Have extremely sharp bone structure
  • Be extremely tall
  • Have an extremely large and broad bone structure
  • Be symmetrical in body type and facial features

SOFT NATURAL

Your position on the Yin/Yang scale is: Soft Yang with a Yin undercurrent.

Physically, you are basically angular in bone structure, although this is softened by a fleshy body type and full facial features (eyes, lips, cheeks).
Innately, you are spontaneously direct, open, logical, fresh and totally unaffected, although this is softened by an artistic sensitivity and a radiant charm that is wonderfully appealing.

To express your soft Yang/Yin undercurrent total essence, we want to develop an appearance that could best be described as: Fresh and Sensual Lady.

Your silhouette is soft, flowing and unconstructed, composed of relaxed lines with soft edges (at neck, waist and hemline). Shoulders may be broad and padded but never sharp. Asymmetrical of irregular geometrics that have rounded edges are equally effective shapes with which to work. The waist should be defined, but loosely so, as opposed to tightly cinched.

A loose, uncluttered approach to detail expresses your fresh femininity quite succinctly. Draped necklines, soft cowls, silky camisoles, supple belts, flared hemlines, etc., are your best basic foundation for combining the clean look that is soft without being fussy. Too much ornamentation such as excess gathers, tucks, and trim is overly busy and priggish for your free-spirited essence. Any tailoring or detail that seems as though it would restrick your mobility or creative expression will make you appear very staid, rigid, and stuffy. Traditionally tailored suits and old-fashioned frills are no-no's--that is unless you want to look like a maiden aunt from the turn of the century!

Dramatic classic

Kibbe's prime Dramatic Classic celebrity- Jackie Onassis

Yin/Yang Balance Balanced, with a Yang influence

Physically, you are basically symmetrical with slightly angular edges (bone structure and features). Innately, you are controlled, refined, elegant, and calm with an added dash of the powerful, the majestic, the charismatic. You will definitely want to read both the Classic and the Dramatic sections of this book, and you will find yourself identifying at times with elements of each. However, please remember, you are not an equal combination of the two categories.

Always remember that you are a Classic first and foremost! Your Dramatic undercurrent should always be used in small doses to add a bit of spice to your appearance. It is not a substitution. It is an addition to express that extra bit of Yang present in your being.

To express your balanced/Yang influenced total essence, we want to develop an appearance that could best be described as: Tailored Chic.

Your silhouette is sculpted and geometric, composed of sleekly straight lines (clean, not severe) that are narrowly tailored in a trim and taut fashion. Sharp edges and angular shapes, particularly through the shoulders, are most important.

Likewise, accessories such as your jewelry, handbags, and shoes should all have the same cleanly geometric shapes that are crisp, tailored, and slightly angular.

A sleek hairstyle of moderate to short length, bluntly cut with an asymmetric sweep or dip or slightly angular outline, combined with a “sculpted face”(slightly high-contrast, with smoky eyes, contoured cheeks, and deep lips) completes your head-to-toe appearance beautifully.

This is the best way for the world to see your rare combination of understated sophistication and dynamic power! We’d like to see just a bit of the avant-garde, the adventurer, the contemporary and daring (expressed visually through your use of sharp edges and sculpted shapes) without upsetting your basic foundation of the traditional, the elegant, and the everlasting (which is visually expressed through your use of clean lines and sumptuously tailored clothing).

Be careful not to go overboard with your Dramatic touches. When you opt for the “trendy” instead of the elegantly “fashion-forward”, you become too stark. All angles and sharp edges, when devoid of the buffer that comes with your Classic underlying approach to your overall appearance, becomes far too cold and hard on you. You lose your humanity this way, appearing overly rigid and unappealing.

On the other hand, don’t go to the opposite extreme by trying to “soften” your look or your features. The result here is very matronly and somewhat fussy. You’ll negate your power and charisma entirely by falling into this trap. (This, by the way, is by far the most common mistake made by your fellow Dramatic Classics, fostered primarily by the misguided theory that “softer” is better. Not for you!)
By far the most effective way to allow your star quality to blaze forth is to appreciate your angular symmetry and bold elegance. When this stunning combination is clearly evident in your appearance, we will follow without hesitation wherever you lead! You are a lady to be both reckoned with and deferred to. When you show both your practical wisdom and your unlimited thinking, you are home free.

Let us all share in the supremely confident, elegantly innovative creature you most definitely are!

DRAMATIC CLASSIC

Yin/Yang Balance
Balanced, with a Yang influence

SHAPE
Triangular, with the widest line at the shoulders, narrow at the hemline. Symmetrical geometrics, which can be sharp or sculpted. Trim, tailored, taut and crisp and slightly chunky.
AVOID: Ornate, intricate, or delicate shapes. Irregular shapes. Unconstructed or extremely boxy shapes. Simple symmetrical shapes without sharp edges or an elongated line.

LINE AND SILHOUETTE
Your silhouette is always trim and tailored with sharp edges. Clean, sleek lines. Straight lines. Elongated draping. Strong, defined shoulder line with crisp edges. Strong vertical and diagonal lines.
AVOID: Clingy, ornate, intricate, or flouncy lines. Unconstructed, wide, boxy, or horizontal lines. Extremely severe lines without tapering. Plain, symmetrical lines without sharp or sculpted edges.

FABRIC
High-quality fabrics in moderate weights. Matte-finished fabrics form the basis of your wardrobe, although you may certainly use shiny silks and the like as blouses or accents and may go ultra-shiny (to the point of lames and metallics) for evening. Moderate piles. Pliable knits and wovens (heavy jersey, cashmere, gabardine, etc.).
AVOID: Lightweight fabrics that cling or are ultra-sheer. Heavyweight fabrics that are stiff and bulky. Rough textures that are thick.

DETAIL
Detial should be crisp, tailored and geometric with sharp edges. Sharp or sculpted shoulder pads are a must in everything you own!

Cleanly tailored necklines: notched collars, crisp Mandarins, simple jabots or ascots, cleanly slashed necklines, geometric V's, asymmetric angulars, turtlenecks, and narrow cowls.

Sharp details: pleats, crisp cuffs, peaked and notched or cleanly streamlined lapels, double-breasted jackets, contrasting trim, epaulets, piping, or clean braiding.

The waist may be crisply defined with a moderate to wide belt with a geometric buckle or may be dropped or eliminated altogether in a narrow chemise-effect.

Detail that includes sharp color contrast is excellent (for example: spectator pumps, contrasting buttons, lapel outlining).

Sophisticated nautical-type detail is also striking when it is crisp and tailored.

AVOID: Ornate, intricate, or fussy detail, including frills. Animated, "perky" detail. Plain and symmetrical detail without sharp edges. Wide, unconstructed, or bulky detail. Minimal detail.

SEPARATES
Use carefully. Separates can be extremely effective for you when well-planned in matched sets. An "ensemble approach" to your head-to-toe appearance is always necessary.

JACKETS: Jackets are a mainstay of your wardrobe, and you should have them for every occasion, from daytime to glamour to casual. They should be crisp and tailored, with sharp shoulders and elongated line. If unconstructed, they should be very narrow and fall below the break of the hip. The shortest jacket that is sophisticated enough for you is cropped to rest at the top of the hipbone and has a very sleek, streamlined effect.
Double-breasted jackets are also quite effective on you.
AVOID: Flouncy jackets that are nipped and tucked with gathers and trim. Peplums. Wide, boxy jackets.
Ultra-cropped jackets (boleros, waistcoats, etc.)

SKIRTS: skirts should be straight and narrow. A few crisp gathers at the waist are usually needed to accommodate your hips. It is very important that your skirts are always flat from the hip to the upper thigh area. Pleats should thus be stitched down at the top, so as not to upset your sleekly vertical line. Small slits are excellent, as is any tailored detail such as pocket flaps, contrasting stitching, waistbands, etc. Hemlines can range from one inch below the knee to the top of the calf. The latter will need a slit. Longer is, of course, perfect for evening.

A bias-cut skirt is possible, as is a straight skirt that has a bias-cut piece added to the bottom, gently flaring out. These hemlines are uneven and must be longer, in the mid-calf range.

AVOID: Full, flouncy skirts. Skirts with fussy detail (draping, shirring, and gathers). A-lines. Wide, unconstructed skirts.

PANTS: Simple tailored styles with pleats and man-tailored detail are best. The pants should be clean, sleek, and elegant.
AVOID: Fussy or ornate styles. Tapered or pegged style. Wide, baggy, or unconstructed styles.

BLOUSES: Blouses should be elegant and tailored, with sharp edges and crisp detail. Stock-tie blouses are acceptable with a very tailored suit, but a more dramatic style is best when the jacket is not covering it. Fabric can be crisp and smooth (luscious cottons), elegantly shiny (charmeuse), or softly woven (challis).
AVOID: Frilly, ornate, flouncy styles with excess detail. Unconstructed styles with no detail.

SWEATERS: Sweaters should be lightweight and elegant; silky and skinny-ribbed styles are excellent choices. Sweaters should be slightly elongated, with shoulder pads. Long cardigans with pads and jacket styles are very good for the dressy-casual look. Sleek and elegant beading is also stunning.
AVOID: Fluffy knits with ornate trim. Thick, rough, or heavy knits that are bulky. Shapeless sweaters. Cropped sweaters and vests. Symmetrical styles with plain detail such as crew-necked shetlands.

DRESSES
Dresses should be tailored, sleek, and narrow, with sharp edges and crisp detail. Coatdresses, chemises, and slinky sheaths are all excellent. Waists may be defined with a wide, geometric belt (usually in a contrasting color to match accessories), or may be dropped low, or even eliminated. Elongated draping or sleek bias-cuts are also soft and elegant. Sharp or sculpted shoulders (with pads) are a must!
AVOID: Flouncy dresses with ornate and intricate trim. Fussy detail such as shirring, gathers, silk flowers, bows, ribbons, etc. Wide unconstructed shapes.

COLOR
Your use of color should be bold and sophisticated. Neutrals and deep colors are quite effective for you as they provide a background of simplicity to showcase your elegant use of line. Pastels can be equally effective if the fabric is very special, and you utilize them in head-to-toe sweeps. Generally, thick of blending intensities of your outfits to retain your strong vertical lines. Contrasting trim is very striking on you, particularly in two-color combinations.
They key is to pick up the accent color in several places, not just one. In this way you don't break up your sleek silhouette, you merely accent it.
AVOID: Multicolor splashes. A mix 'n match approach to color. All neutrals or monochromatics with on bold accents.

PRINTS
Prints should be geometric, slightly oversized, and bold in color contrast. Stripes, zigzags, slashes, and sleep asymmetrics also work.
AVOID: Flowery prints. Soft, flowing prints. Ornate prints. Irregular prints. Animated, "cute" prints. Small, symmetrical prints.

ACCESSORIES
Should be clean, elegant, and crisply tailored, with sharp angles.

SHOES: Angular, Italian-style pumps. Tailored and narrow styles. Tailored flats. Sleek, sling-backs.
"Two-toned" styles (Chanel, spectators).
AVOID: Overly delicate or strappy styles. Heavy, chunky styles. Plain pumps or simple symmetrical styles.

BAGS: Crisply tailored bags. Envelopes, clutches, box-shaped bags. Metallic evening clutches. Narrow to medium briefcases, constructed, with a frame.
AVOID: Overly delicate or ornate styles. Large, unconstructed styles.

BELTS: Moderate to wide styles with large geometric buckles. Wide self-belts. Contrasting-color belts (to match shoes and jewelry or hat).
AVOID: Waist-cinchers. Overly ornate styles. Delicate or narrow styles.

HATS: Crisply tailored styles. Sharp edges and contrasting trim. Moderate to small size. Geometric and clean shapes. 
AVOID: Fussy hats with ornate trim. Oversized styles. Severe styles. Unconstructed or floppy styles.

HOSIERY: Sheer, silky stockings are best. In terms of color, blend in one tone between hemline, stocking, and shoe to keep your dominant vertical line sleep. The exception to this is when you are working with sharp color contrast, head-to-toe, and your shoe or stocking color is in contrast to each other or to your hemline. Just be sure this color is picked up in several other places to avoid chopping your look.
Textured stockings are elegant in geometrics (herringbone, etc.) when kept translucent.
AVOID: Opaque stockings. Lacy stockings. Ornate stockings.

JEWELRY: Should be sleek, elegant, and slightly chunky. Geometric shapes with sharp edges. Smooth circles that are crisp and oversized are possible. Earrings should be on the ear or spray up (not down or dangly). Necklaces should be crisply tailored and slightly chunky, and rest around the collarbone area. Moderate wrist cuffs are also possible. Remember: One elegant piece is quite effective on you!

EVENING WEAR
Symmetrical shapes with clean, geometric detail Shoulder emphasis. Angular necklines. Smooth fabric. Beaded fabric. Understated trim.
Slinky sheaths
Jacketed gowns
Tailored dinner suits
Long gowns with sharp shoulder emphasis
Tailored cocktail dresses
Evening pants with jacket.

MAKEUP
A smoky face with sultry eyes, strong cheekbones, and a vivid mouth completes your tailored chic look to perfection! Matte colors are best; for evening add just a hint of sheer frost. Emphasize your beautifully chiseled angels with contrast and contouring!
AVOID: Overly ornate makeup with heavy glitz (unsophisticated on you). Watercolor-soft edges (very aging on you). Pale lips (not strong enough to balance your eyes). All neutrals, with no smoky colors (too matronly). "No-makeup" look (too washed-out).


Hair
Hair should be sculpted and sleek, a geometric shape with angular edges. Blunt cuts are best, although some layering is possible depending on the texture of your hair. Hair should be of moderate length to short, with very fine or thin hair being best served by a short, very sleek style. Long hair will need back teasing and setting to retain a sculpted shape. Likewise, if you perm or wave your hair, you'll have to be willing to set it for a very sculpted, marcelled effect. Asymmetric detail such as a sweep or dip is excellent.
Avoid: Ornate or lavish hair. Wild or "fantasy coiffures". Cropped, boyish hair. Overly layered styles. Wash 'n Wear styles. Symmetrical styles with no angles. In general, avoid perms, waves, and processing.


High Contrast Coloring

Deep Chestnut Brown
Mahogany/Deep Auburn
Warm White
Cover Gray completely.

Black (only if skin tone is olive
Dark Ash Brown (no highlights)
Sliver/White
Cover Gray unless it's dramatically streaked or you're totally Gray.

Low Contrast Coloring
Light Golden Brown
Light Auburn/Copper
Deep Honey Blond

Bright Golden Blond
Warm White
Cover Gray unless you're totally Gray.
Medium to Soft Ash Brown

Any shade of Ash Blond
Bold streaks of Light Ash Blond
Soft, Snowy White
Cover Gray unless you're totally Gray.


In general, you need the rich base from an overall haircolor process. This will provide the distinct haircolor that must be maintained. If you are seeking to cover gray, never choose a shade lighter than your original haircolor; it will be too soft and muted for you and will give you a tired, matronly appearance that is not in keeping with your bold and sophisticated elegance.
Avoid: All processes designed to "soften" the haircolor. Be careful not to overlighten the hair.


MAKEUP

Makeup Concept:
The Sculpted Face
Moderately deep and smoky colors blended to emphasize angles, a slightly sharp edge and sculpted contours.

Application Keys:

Eye: Smoky eyes with a deep outer lid color for strong shape. Matte products.
Deep eyeliner for strong definition (slightly smudged).

Blush: Angular cheeks with a sculpted contour. Moderately deep colors for a defined shape.

Lips: A clean and crisp mouth with moderately deep color for balance (between eye, cheek, and lip).
Avoid: An overly colorful or sparkly face. A pastel face.


DRAMATIC CLASSIC COLOR CHARTS

NOTES:
The effect of your eye shadows should always be smoky, so a primary use of matte products is desirable.

Eye liner should be several shades deeper than the lid color, but in the same tone.

Lipsticks should be matte unless noted otherwise. Always apply light gloss over the lipstick.
