The Dramatic type is a vibrant, almost shocking (which only she can do), strong, confident, and passionate personality. "Big" is one of the main words that comes to mind when trying to describe her. No half measures or understatements. Her appearance is exaggerated and contrasting—something always stands out in her face (and often everything at once): pronounced facial bones, clear, dynamic lines, glossy textures, very large and expressive features. Her colors are rich, deep, often cool and vibrant.

This is a woman of ice and fire, a predator, a conqueror. Stately, luxurious, and somewhat dangerous—in short, she is impossible to miss and must be reckoned with.
Being a pure Dramatic type is truly a huge responsibility. Without the proper frame, such beauty can easily be ruined—trying to be a comfortable "girl next door" runs the risk of appearing sickly, awkward, or even rude. Likewise, even with the most striking appearance, there's always the risk of overdoing it and drifting into theatricality and masquerade.
Surprisingly, balance and harmony are also important in Drama. Taste is important, as is the consistency and "quality" of the image. Combining brightness with brightness is a great art.
Mixed types have much greater flexibility, while maintaining brightness:

Drama + Natural
When combined with natural aesthetics, Drama takes on a more "wild" appearance: facial features broaden, the relief becomes more "chopped," textures are rougher, and colors are more natural. Associations arise: Amazons, warriors, free and bold savages, large wild cats, she-wolves, huntresses, Native American/African tribeswomen, athletes (and certainly not rhythmic gymnasts). Overall, a truly strong Woman: she can stop a galloping horse and enter a burning hut. Beautiful and unbridled.
Wlid appearance type is the result of this combination.

Drama + Classic
With the participation of Classics, dramatic passions subside, the exotic features acquire a certain balance, the colors become more subdued, and the overall image becomes colder and completely unattainable.
We are no longer confronted by a panther in search of prey—we are confronted by a "business shark," a woman decisive in her actions but reserved in her emotions. Not a queen in silks and jewels, but a reigning queen, elegant, noble, and just. Negotiations in an elite business center, a social event, horse racing—these are settings worthy of Classical Drama.
A magnificent swan in human form - Influential Appearance type.

Drama + Naive Romance
Naive romanticism adds a flirtatious and playful sparkle to Drama. Expressive features are childishly rounded, colors become brighter, outrageousness mutates into teenage rebellion, and a passionate gaze transforms into a teasing one. The result is a kind of "little devil in a skirt" or a predatory animal—small and cute, but sure to bite your finger.) Images of a young witch, a tomboy, a burlesque performer, a fearless circus performer, a pin-up model, an expressive teenager with provocative sexuality, a bandit, or a pirate also emerge.
The figurative type that is born from such a combination can only be described as Cheeky.

Drama + Complex Romance
Merging with Complex Romanticism, Drama becomes more ephemeral, colors fade, muted, and complex, features take on a refined yet ethereal form. The dramatic intensity of emotions gives way to hidden sensuality, a mysterious magnetism bordering on danger. Complex Romanticism in drama is, of course, the aesthetics of vampires, the aesthetics of the occult and the afterlife, black magic in all its forms, the magic of a nocturnal carnival, the passions of Eastern fairy tales, alluring sirens, fallen angels, and succubs.
The blending of styles occurs in unique proportions for each face, but I hope this article has helped you understand the theory a little and perhaps given you some guidance/inspiration for understanding yourself.
