The Naive Romantic personality type is a girlish woman, a bright little bird, a true party animal, who retains a childlike zest and wide-eyed spirit throughout her life. Her facial features are naturally reminiscent of a child's: a lightbulb- or balloon-shaped head, rounded and compact/miniature features: an upturned nose, round eyes, a bow-shaped mouth, and apple-shaped cheeks. Her complexion is cheerful—bright, light, and warm. Her hair is soft, silky, and fluffy, her skin smooth, perhaps with freckles. Sweet—that's the key word, capacious enough to describe the Naive Romantic. The combination of these traits creates an impression of mischief, coquetry, lightness, tenderness, and youth, regardless of how many times she orbits the sun.

Of course, there's a downside to this: a naive appearance can hinder career advancement, as well as other everyday situations where one needs to appear impressive. After all, such a woman is a woman one wants to pamper and spoil, one wants to have fun with, but one is hard to take seriously. Unfortunately, this pushes many representatives of this type to try to create the most respectable and mature image possible, which, alas, makes them look not like a businesswoman, but like a clumsy girl in her mother's shoes. When creating a serious, but not dull, look, romantics should remember to keep their cuts short, their details compact, and add a little spice to their look through color, accessories, or makeup.

When mixed with other styles, the following variations are obtained:

Naive + Drama

Drama adds exoticism, contrast, categoricalness, and shock value to naivety. Facial features become more expressive, colors become deeper, colder, and darker, and a pure, naive child transforms into a rebellious teenager. 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 also emerge of a young witch, a tomboy, a burlesque actress, a fearless circus performer, a pin-up model, an expressive teenager with provocative sexuality, a bandit, or a pirate.

The figurative type that is born from such a combination can only be described as Cheeky.

Naive + Natural

The naive natural is a favorite character type in Slavic folklore. Their colors are more natural (fruity) than doll-like, their textures are more pronounced, and their facial features are broader and richer, but no less rounded. The cuteness and playfulness of this image evoke associations with European villages, vibrant orchards, farm children, beach holidays, paradise islands, holidays and other fun outdoor activities, pastoral, Provencal, Gavroche styles, and, of course, rosy-cheeked Alyonushkas from beloved fairy tales.

Double warmth and love of life - Cheerful Image type.

Naive + Classic

Naive romanticism, with a touch of Classicism, is a good girl. Diligent, modest, well-mannered—in a word, a smart girl. Her features are more refined, "correct," "pure," and somewhat angular, her colors are cooler, and her overall youthfulness is complemented by an impression of calm and intelligence. It's easy to imagine such a girl in a ballet class, at an elite school or academy for noble maidens, on a stroll through the cultural center of a European town, or in a coffee shop with a book—the image of a modern princess is perfectly embodied in Classic-Naiveism.

"Miss Perfect" - Dolly image type.

Naive + Complex romance

Romanticism and romance combine to create a delicate and ethereal image. Light, delicate skin, fine, soft hair, sophisticated pastel colors, and facial features that are more elongated, yet still round and sweet. Possible associations include: little fairies (pixies), equally small, snub-nosed elves, mermaids, sorceresses, ghosts, and other inhabitants of fairytale worlds; Alice in Wonderland, Santa Claus's country, the aesthetics of Tim Burton's cartoons and films, as well as puppet theater (Malvina and Pierrot as characters), carousels at amusement parks, and magical carnivals.

The resulting figurative type is weightless and "crystal" Tender.
