Innocent + Noble

Alabaster Ethereal is an exciting combination of the Innocent and Noble elements. Please note that Noble is more visible in one’s general vibe, mimicry, and gestures. Alabaster facial features can resemble doll faces. However, we can see coolness and distance rather than sadness (see: Mermaid Ethereal).

Alabaster Ethereal can be perceived as demanding or even despotic. Its style must always be perfectly refined. It is not a matter of dressing up or overdressing, but simply a matter of looking after every detail of the image.

Alabaster Ethereal is closest to Soft Gamine’s style but is deprived of any and all embellishments. Any sharp forms, patterns, and contrasts should be avoided.

Jewelry should be silver, adorned with light gemstones. Its form should be based on shapes that are as far away from geometry as possible.

Sleek hairstyles (such as a low ponytail, low bun) with middle parting are particularly characteristic of Alabaster Ethereal.

Alabaster style does not like asymmetry, nonchalance, or any original, extravagant looks. Perfection, clarity, and symmetry should stand before everything else.

The dominant colors of Alabaster Ethereal are white and light colors, mainly icy. We are dealing here with an evident cooling of the colors.

The Alabaster Ethereal style shows some similarities to the Rose Ethereal style. Both are highly compatible with the style assigned to Soft Gamine. Both Alabaster and Rose bring to mind a doll. The Alabaster doll is as if motionless, perfect, cold. However, the Rose doll is more accessible, full of girlish charm. Rosy sweetness is intoxicating and warm. Alabaster is cold and distant. The Alabaster doll can be compared to an exhibit behind protective glass.

Common elements of Alabaster and Rose:

• ruffles
• peplums
• pink color 
• lines based on circles and ovals
• decorative bows
• flared cuts 
• puff sleves
• pleated high waist shorts
• flared high waist shorts

Alabaster Ethereal is most compatible with the Soft Gamine type. The second level of compatibility is achieved with the Classic type.

• subtle pink blush on the cheeks
• makeup with as few colors as possible
• highlighting makeup (only slightly)

The essential elements of the Alabaster style are listed below.

The individual style elements should be adapted to the beauty features and the entire Ethereal configuration.

Alabaster – and all other Ethereals – can function as an independent element that makes up our type of beauty. In such a case, we are talking about the Ethereal type of beauty. We omit Kibbe typology and classic color analysis.
