What Are the Makeup Archetypes?
In 2023, beauty content creator Dear Peachie created a viral makeup quiz featuring 8 makeup archetypes. These archetypes are devised by the overall essence of a person’s face, including the softness or angularity of facial features and visual weight (how the size of the facial features compares to the rest of the face). According to Dear Peachie, your makeup archetype determines which makeup looks and styles suit your face best. So, what are the archetypes? Take a look at the list below:
The ingenue archetype has a child-like beauty with rounded and soft facial features and is usually described as cute, sweet, and gentle.
The gamine archetype has a slightly more masculine and boyish tone with rounded and soft facial features and is typically described as refreshing, grunge, and young.
The natural archetype is the most popular and has an effortless aura that mixes roundness and angularity. This archetype tends to be described as easygoing, friendly, and casual.
The elegant archetype has a defined grace with rounded facial features and moderate visual weight and is typically described as graceful, serene, and delicate.
The romantic archetype focuses on feminine features that are more mature with a combination of rounder features and visual weight. This archetype is usually described as alluring, sensual, and sexy.
The classic archetype has a formal grace to it, combining mature and feminine soft features. This archetype tends to be described as minimalistic.
