Style Essences

John has said that the blends of certain public figures have changed with age, but it sounds like those blends changed because of cosmetic procedures. For example, Nicole Kidman lost her Natural when she removed her freckles, and Audrey Hepburn's essences remained the same, though her percentages for Classic and Gamine shifted to become more equal in her later years.

In his system, Earthy Rich is closest to Autumn color seasons.

Different percentages of Naturals

Helen Mirren is 35% Classic, 30% Romanic, 20% Natural, 10% Gamine, and 5% Dramatic.

She is dominant Ethereal. Truth is Beauty says Ethereals look very much like themselves when they're looking into the distance, with a knowing half-smile or an air of distraction. One gets the impression they're actually looking inward, or seeing something others can't see.

He is verified dominant Ethereal. Truth is Beauty says physically, Ethereals are defined first by the curving line, as all feminine types are. But their curving line is an elongated S or oval. Their faces tend to be long and gently sculpted. 

He is dominant Ethereal. Truth is Beauty says subdued colors suggest age, since human coloring naturally fades with age. So muted coloring helps create the ancient or timeless quality that Ethereals have.

She is dominant Ingenue. Truth is Beauty says Ingenues look appropriate, not ridiculous, in girlish details such as small bows, tiny flowers, headbands, simple lockets, and puffed sleeves.
