Greetings, dear fellow travelers!
No matter the goal of your style search—whether you want to create your own vibrant character that reflects all facets of your soul or project an image that will foster career advancement—you'll need a solid foundation of facts about the potential of your appearance. Otherwise, you won't achieve a harmonious image, and that's precisely why we're all gathered here today.
In building this foundation, we are aided by a stylistic technical analysis—a derivation of the appearance characteristics that must be considered: color type, linearity, and image type. With this analysis of a bold and beautiful female volunteer, I would like to once again illustrate the importance and accessibility of defining these characteristics.
Let's start, traditionally, with the color type.
Color type is determined by key characteristics (warmth/coolness, lightness/darkness, brightness/softness) and further verified using collages. If you lack visual experience, you can test all color types using collages, but we'll focus on a few borderline ones.

Personalized Palette Let's take a look at our beautiful woman, having first created a personalized palette based on her color palette.
What are these colors?
The dominant darkness is unmistakable, so there are only two options: Dark winter and dark autumn.
Let's look and analyze the influence of the corresponding environments on the girl's face (or the influence of the face on the environment, which is also often revealing):
Dark Autumn - Dark Winter
Because of such a pronounced tonal character, both palettes look good thanks to their depth. But let's look at the eyes. Which palette makes them clearer and overall tones the image? A true winter can easily be identified by how tired it looks against the autumn background. And before us, of course, is a true Dark Winter. The collage with the harmonious surroundings deepens her eyes to cosmic infinity.
A brief introduction. Everyone knows what a color type is and understands its purpose (or maybe they don't, but they accept its significance on faith). The topic of linearity is touched upon much less frequently, but it's no less (if not more) important. Once you become familiar with it, you stop dividing passersby into attractive and unattractive—they've either managed to adorn themselves with the appropriate frame, or "something went wrong." And almost always, the "wrong" lies in incorrect linearity, because beauty, as we know, is in harmony, and for this, the lines of the image must echo the lines of the appearance. Let's begin by looking for the lines that were intended to adorn our heroine.

In terms of linearity, creating intrigue for the reader is no easier than with color type. The dominant, Languid form-line is very noticeable. The languid gaze, the downward curve of the lips, the tip of the nose resembling a drop of melted wax—all the imaginary and not so imaginary lines flow slowly downward in a dense stream. There is quite a lot of soft tissue, so we'll also compare it with the soft form to determine the degree of density.
However, beyond the overall streamlined features, the face also features distinctly angular lines, primarily the lips. Let's look at the "angular" ones and see what this nuance is all about:
Aggressive - Languid - Rigid - Soft - Fragile
First, let's talk about softness. Against the backdrop of the collages, it becomes clear that our heroine is actually thinner and more delicate than the lush Soft Lines. This is probably due to the texture of the ML—it's too loose. Overall, you can stick with the dominant Flabby Line, with its delicate textures, and allow yourself to choose denser fabrics that create large folds, but still fall noticeably.
The situation with the charcoal line is interesting. If you look only at the lips, you can see the intersection with all three existing lines, but it's worth noting that the Aggressive and Harsh lines, even in small amounts, will negatively impact the dominant romantic languor—they won't emphasize it, but will create a discordant effect. Therefore, we'll focus on the complementary Fragility line: the slightly variegated lines of the brows and the subtle charcoal of the lips from different angles favor this, and when combined with the Lax one, it will look very sensual.
A personality type, to put it simply, is your attractiveness, your sex appeal, that vibrant image you project to the world with particular ease and can fully express by following these guidelines. This is your role in our life-theater.
How do we determine the role of our beautiful maiden? We can base our analysis on the characteristics we've already identified, examining and correlating colors and lines with character types, but the simplest and most effective method is collages with a corresponding aesthetic. We look and search for the "best role," focusing primarily on the dramatic component, since with such a flavor, it's essential. We'll probably rule out Vliyanie (Influential) for his strict linearity. Only three options remain:
Savage - Cheeky - Mystery
Let's take an additional photo with an open smile for illustrative purposes:
Savage - Cheeky - Mystery
Bold, of course, isn't the style for this girl; it's too childish and simple. Wild seems too hot, sweeping, and overly revealing. Surprisingly, despite her rather dense linearity, the natural, steppe aesthetic doesn't suit her—her appearance is so refined and enigmatic that it's best suited to the salon-style Mystery image type. Even her open smile seems to conceal complex stories and the intensity of her heart's passions. The variegation of the Fragile line (especially with thin or pale eyebrows) and the decadence of the Sluggish line, the cool depth of color and depth of the eyes—all evoke the imagination of a time not so long ago, perhaps the 1920s, when variegation and decadence reigned in the city nights:

That's all for now, dear fellow travelers. I hope you found this analysis useful and inspiring. I'm also always happy to receive volunteers for a similar public analysis under special conditions.
Peace between the outer and inner to each and everyone!
Thank you for your trust, and until next time!
