hello peachies welcome back to our channel
dear peachie in an age of influencers instagram and celebrity trendsetters
the concept of embracing individuality is becoming increasingly relevant instead of
replicating style from someone else blindly finding a style that represents who you are is
a powerful communication tool it can give you an identity and on top of that it sets you apart
from the crowd but how do you find your style well by understanding your facial features it
can help defin
e your style and give you a place to begin it's also a way to uncover
and come to grips with who you are in order to determine what is flattering you
the most in our video today we will discuss how we can build our style depending on our
facial features if you are still discovering which style expresses yourself the most this
video might be helpful for you as usual this video will be divided into several parts please
refer to the timestamps for the following parts due to the wide difference
in human
facial features we have divided them into a few simple categories to better
elucidate their differences from here you can identify which category that your features
fall into once you have a general understanding of your features visual style it will be easier
for us to dive deeper into finding the style which enhances the beauty of your
features the most as we all know our faces are inarguably the first thing people
notice aside from perceived attractiveness facial features can
actually signal a person's gender
to the outside world according to the japanese beauty magazines our facial features carry
different gender aesthetics and they can either be masculine or feminine let's talk about what
it really means by masculine or feminine visuals first of all masculine visual here does
not mean that it makes someone looks manly and we will talk about what characteristics can
increase the masculinity of one's features shortly facial features with masculine aesthetic tend
to
have the following characteristics first they tend to have more annular or prominent bone features
the prominence of the bones can be observed at the cheekbones the jaw or even the nose bridge
second their eyes are likely to be positioned much higher when it is compared in the facial
proportion ratio and they also have a longer mid face ratio on the other hand they can also tend
to have a longer lower face ratio or in other words they can have a longer chin too besides the
corners of t
he eyes mouth or nose have sharp edges instead of rounded corners and at least two out
of these three features have sharp edges lastly the distance between their eyes is much closer
if you find yourself checking at least three items out of this list then your facial features
might be geared towards the masculine aesthetic we know some of you guys will be disappointed when
you find yourself having the masculine features but we would like to emphasize that having
masculine features doesn't me
an that you look like a man in fact masculine features
can easily create a distinctive style that breaks free from the uniformity for instance
dil rabbi del marat she is one of the beauties who has masculine features from her features
we can see that she fulfills a few criteria on the checklist we have discussed just now she has
prominent facial bones and longer midface ratio the corners of her eyes and mouth are sharper on
the contrary feminine features have the following characteristics t
hey have less prominent
bone structure and appear to be more flashy the facial structure looks softer and has a
rounder contour the ratio of the chin is shorter compared to the facial proportion ratio the length
of the mid-face ratio is also shorter too at least two out of these three features such as eyes mouth
or nose have rounded edges if you hit at least three of the characteristics listed above then
it is very likely that you have feminine features do you know our visual styles can act
ually
shift from feminine to masculine aesthetics or vice versa crystal liu a chinese
actress who has feminine features initially her visuals has transitioned to be more masculine
recently as time goes the proportion of our facial features will change too as we can see
here the length of her chin becomes longer and the position of her eyes goes higher
the baby fat on her face has faded over time and her cheeks appear to be less flashy hence her
bone structure looks a little more prominent
now it is not always the procedures that cause the
change in the ratio or position of our facial features our face are slowly changing without
us noticing as we age this explains why crystal leaves facial features changed from feminine to
more masculine as time goes the cool exquisite and classy charisma is brought out through the
change of her features having masculine features do not make one look manly but it actually gives
a more defined styling direction or possibility if we compare th
e visuals of Tzuyu and Liu Wen
here Tzuyu has feminine visuals dewey's eye level is positioned lower in her facial ratio she
has a softer face and rounder contour in contrast Liu Wen's visuals are more masculine her eye level
is positioned higher she has a longer midface ratio and the corners of her features are sharper
once we have gone through the classification of feminine and masculine features we can further
divide both visuals into four categories based on the visual weight of the fea
tures if you
have subscribed to dear peachy long enough you must be very familiar with the term visual
weight if you are not let us recap a little here the visual weight of your features that we refer
here doesn't mean the actual weight of your face but it's the structure of the face
itself like how heavy the bones look or how light and delicate the bones appear the
more prominent the facial features look the higher the visual presence and hence the visual weight is
higher here we have put
up a scale for higher to lower visual weight features on your left we have
the heavy visual weight features and on the other side we have the lower visual weight features
we have arranged the examples in a descending manner the visual weight decreases from the left
to right where it shows the change in terms of how prominent and sharp the features look and
the visual presence of the overall impression just like the name suggests high visual
weight faces exude charisma that can easily attra
ct attention the low visual weight faces
exude a lighter calmer and refreshing aura here are the celebrity examples for each of the
categories such as the high and low visual weight feminine features and the high and low visual
weight masculine features however these celebrity examples for each of the categories are not rigid
their features or facial proportions might change over time and this can eventually affect their
styles too hence the examples here are just for reference and it doesn
't mean that their
visuals or styles will remain as such forever so WonYoung and IU have low visual weight
feminine features Lisa and JingTian have high visual weight feminine features yeji and
Krsytal have low visual weight masculine features Ozawa maju and Elaine Zhong have high visual weight
masculine features feminine visuals are usually selected as the main girl in asian drama series
while the masculine visuals are frequently picked as the supporting character do their unique
charisma
and individuality of their looks they can give a stronger impression on their audiences
if you have low visual weight masculine features like crystaljon her style might work great on
you crystal has prominent cheekbones and jaw with a longer chin and midface ratio hence her
visuals are inclined to the masculine aesthetics building her wardrobe with neutral or basic
colors reflect the effortless and relaxed vibes this brings out the lightness and refreshing
quality of her beauty try to stay
away from putting on too many accessories because this
will overpower your beauty outfits with solid colors are minimalism style flatter your visuals
the most as we only provide one example for each of these visual categories you can always
look up for more examples and inspirations that belong to your visual category and
adapt your styles to yourself accordingly according to the china style in guru there are
two methods that can help us in developing our own style based on our visuals the
first is
called the maximize method and the second is the counterbalance method both methods can
be applied for different types of visuals and we will come back to it in
the later parts of this video in order to determine which style suits us best
we must first understand our own facial features nonetheless there is still one thing that
is commonly missed out by most people before we retouch or enhance our faces with any
makeup or procedures our visuals in fact have determined our basic s
tyling aesthetic this basic
styling aesthetic can be distinctive to every individual some appear to be cute and adorable
whereas some might look more sexy and mature and this primary style of yours is strongly
influenced by any one or two of your facial features which can be called your key features
these key features can be your eyes nose mouth or face shape and any one of them can have an impact
on the overall aesthetic that your visual exudes making changes to these features can actually
cause a 180 degree turn to your initial style for example one of the hottest beauty influencers
in china Isaye admitted that she has gone through procedures for her eyelids the change of her
eyelids has shifted her visuals from masculine to feminine features thus in the case of isaiah
her eyes are the key feature that determines the aesthetic of her entire visual on the other hand
MingXi now has softer and less prominent facial bones compared to her earlier modeling days this
change cause
d her style to transition from the sleek supermodel into the adorable girl next door
look enhancing that key feature of their face has certainly changed the impression of their visuals
as enhancement of these features cause a shift in the visual aesthetic between masculine and
feminine features this can normally bring a great transformation in personal style this explains
why some celebrities can look totally different after debuting the answer is that they have all
the professionals like m
akeup artists or style and gurus who help them understand their features
before deciding on the style which best suits them let's get back to the example Isaye she has
masculine features for her primary visual style it can be seen from her sharp inner corners longer
mid face ratio and longer chin the double lid surgery has changed her eye shape to appear around
her besides that adding aygeosahl contours help reduce the length of her midface ratio too by
only enhancing her eyes her visual ae
sthetic is revamped from masculine to the low visual weight
feminine features this change produces a massive impact to her overall visual we have talked about
the transition of masculine to female visual style how about changing from female to masculine
features song Chaeyoung is one of the examples you probably recognize her from her bold pixie cut
and her effortless vibes Chaeyoung's features exudes the feminine aesthetic the corners of
her eyes and lips are rounded she has a soft and rou
nd face shape to shift her visual style
from feminine to masculine aesthetic we can see that her makeup artist fills in eyeliner to make
the corners of her eyes look sharper her aygeosahl are not emphasized by conjuring to create
the visual impression of longer midface ratio lighter makeup is applied to let Chaeyoung's
true beauty just shine through her own skin however there are times that Chaeyoung
was styled to be more feminine besides the change in her hairstyle her makeup artist had don
e
something more to make her eyes appear around her the lower lid area and lash line are emphasized
with eyeshadow to make her eyes look rounder aygeosahl shadows are highlighted to shore in
her midface ratio to make her overall visual look more feminine to compare the difference between
masculine and feminine visual style let's look at these pictures here on the left her masculine
visual style gives out the boys cool distanced and edgy charisma on the right it can be seen that
her visual
style is now changed to the adorable friendly and girl next door vibes both styles
looks great on her therefore there is no good or bad styles the best style is the style that
makes you feel confident and comfortable the most so the point here is every one
of us here has that one or two particular facial features which have already
established our primary visual style initially whether you want to enhance or transform the
key features which sets out your primary style you still need to take
the time to understand them
before making any changes on them so how do we find the key features that impact our visual the
most as we mentioned just now these key features determine our primary visual style therefore we
can work in reverse order and begin by identifying our primary visual style once you have found your
visual style category you can then identify the specific features that can impact your overall
visual take for example if you check yourself against the checklist and reali
ze that your
visual style belongs to the masculine aesthetic then try to identify the specific features
that relate the most to masculine style for instance if the prominence of your facial
bones influences your visual style the most you can refine this by applying contour or
highlighter to soften out the edges of your cheekbones and jawline to give you a smoother
contour with this you can change the overall impression of your visual style by switching
from the masculine to the feminine ae
sthetic another example here is that if the length of your
midface ratio affects the overall visual style the most you can add contour to the aygeosahl shadow
to weaken the visual focus of a long mid face for features with sharp or edge corners apply
makeup to make them look rounder or less edgy you can apply eyeshadow or eyeliner to
accentuate the shape of your eyes or line your lips to make the lip shape appear rounder
or reduce the depth of nose contour shadows on the other hand the femi
nine visual style can
also be accentuated differently by enhancing these specific features relating to the masculine
aesthetics you can work with the same theory here firstly find out your features which relate
your visual the most to the feminine aesthetics next enhance it to transition your visual style
from the feminine to the masculine aesthetic by doing so it can help you bring out your
own unique and defined style for features with rounded corners apply makeup and shape them
to look
sharper such as filling an eyeliner to lengthen the eye shape or line your lips to
make the corners look more defined to lengthen the midface ratio you can shape your brows with
soft arches instead of drawing straight brows besides accentuating your features with makeup
changing hairstyle can also help in shifting your visual style to lean towards the masculine
aesthetics although we are just refining one or two particular features here it produces a great
transformation on your overall vis
ual impression after identifying our primary visual style it's
time for us to develop our own unique style to create its individuality remember that in the
earlier part of the video we talked about the methods in developing our style based on our
facial features we mentioned the counterbalance method in the maximize method the terms coin for
these styling methods might sound alien to you now but fret not we will explain them further
according to the china style in guru the term counterbalan
ce refers to balancing
the impression of primary visual style by adding other contrasting visual styles the
term maximizing here means enhancing your key features to further emphasize the
impression of your primary visual style the best example of celebrities developing their
style using the counterbalance method is Lisa from blackpink so who else can apply this method to
build their style for anyone who has high visual weight masculine or feminine features they can
develop their style wit
h the counterbalance method let's take a look at Lisa's face without
makeup she has a round face shape and high visual weight features with rounded corners these
facial features define her primary visual style as sweet and adorable however her beauty cannot
be maximized if we are just enhancing her primary visual style she looks lovely but it doesn't bring
her a definitive direction for her overall style it will be different in the case of low visual
weight rounded features with round face
shape the counterbalance method may not work best on them
this is because both Tzuyu and Jang Na Ra do not have very high visual weight features so they will
not need to balance out the impression of their primary visual style instead these visuals should
develop their styles using the maximize method by maximizing the sweet and adorable primary visual
style it adds the charming and dainty charisma to their air coming back to the previous example
Lisa she has more prominent facial features
which carry higher visual weight if she maximizes her
sweet and lovely primary visual style it might overkill the balance of her overall impression
and not able to unleash her true potential thus her stylist supplied the counterbalance
method they have styled her by limiting her cuteness and bringing in a tinge of cool
and sexiness to balance her overall style this creates the human barbie doll
look that boasts her radiant beauty the sweet or cute style is usually expressed
by young lookin
g girls the contrasting styles such as cool and sexy differ greatly from the
cute impression because sexiness is one of the characteristics of mature looking females and
the cool impression is often relating to styles which are less feminine or girly both of these
characteristics are found on lisa too. Her lower three white's eyes add the cool and distance
vibes which neutralize her cuteness her long slender limbs and amazing dancing skills bring out
her sexiness and attractiveness all thes
e elements complement the cuteness in her primary visual
style and form a great harmony between both styles another aspect of lisa's style to highlight
is her hair color since lisa has high visual weight and prominent features dark hair color will
increase visual weight of her overall impression darker hair colors increase the bluntness
and heaviness of her features thus making her facial features look less refined and delicate
on the other hand lighter hair color carries lower visual weigh
t it appears to be lighter and airy
thus the visual focus will be lifted upwards it also helps a great deal in counteracting
the heaviness from lisa's facial features so now we finally know why lisa always looks
extra eye-catching with blonde hair color lisa's sweet features are complemented by the cool and
sexy styles which do not overpower her sweetness if you wish to apply this counterbalance method on
yourself to develop your own style always remember to keep the balance between both st
yles having
too much of any one of them will affect your overall style so how about the maximize method
the maximize method is about enhancing your facial features to emphasize the impression of primary
visual style this method is much simpler just as the name suggests you need to maximize the aura or
the vibes exuded by your facial features if your facial features radiate cool and distance vibes
you can further enhance it with the girl boss or boyish looks similar to the counterbalance met
hod
balance is important in the maximize method too always remember not to go overboard and make sure
your style should match the overall impression of your facial features for instance IU has rounded
features and face shape which emanates the dainty and sweet aura with the maximize method this is
further emphasized by the cute and elegant style kim go eun who has lower visual weight features
with sharp corners her stylists develop a simple and refreshing style to match with her primary
vi
sual style in conclusion the maximize method best suits people with low or moderate
visual weight feminine or masculine features Dong-Yu is another excellent example of using
the maximize method to enhance her beauty even though her subtle beauty is not as
eye-catching as compared to the asian beauty standard her beauty is something that
will grow in you the more you look at her the more you realize you can't take your eyes
off her her features are delicate and not contrasting to each other
the styles develop for
her compliment well with her primary visual style her features exude the young looking and adorable
charisma her beauty might not catch your attention at your first glance and this is because her
features harmonize seamlessly with her style which gives the impression of effortless
and comfortable vibes to her overall look finding your personal style is a lifelong journey
it's not something you can figure out in one day as we move through different life stages our
li
festyles shift so do our tastes aspirations and preferences so it is perfectly fine if
you do not have one definitive personal style getting a good grasp of this concept of feminine
and masculine aesthetics might be very helpful in our style journey this not only allows us to
redefine our personal styles more clearly but also gives us an abundance of freedom and versatility
in exploring endless styling possibilities ultimately this is not a rule book it's better
to listen to that inner voic
e inside and never forget to assess how you feel when you try
a new style does it make you feel like the best version of you does it make you happy if
