Kitchener Essences
Have you ever gotten a haircut you loved on a celebrity but didn't like on you?
Have you ever noticed that some necklines in your clothing look better than others?
Have you discovered that some photos flatter your face more than others?

Kitchener Essences can help!

The first step to uncovering the power of your essences is to figure out what they are! As a rule, people have 1-3 essences/lines that combine to create their unique face. If you don't know where to start, I recommend taking my curated quiz at the link below. I have also curated picture groupings of celebrities available for your perusal.
While I could go into the history of Kitchener Essence Style Theory, that is not the purpose of my website. My chief goal is for things to make sense and be applicable. From my experience, Kitchener Essences primarily focus on facial features and characteristics, which is visible in the types of lines and angles. Each of the seven essences has a different feeling they bring to a person's appearance and each essence has different groups and regions that hold them up as a hallmark of beauty. Please note that each face has at least one and at most three different essences combining to make the whole. While I would find it disingenuous to take our essences (ie: facial characteristics) out from our experiences and how people treat us, I strongly discourage all from assuming that face lines are correlated to personality, ethnicity, gender, or any determination of worth. That being said, Kitchener Essences have proven - to me - valuable in personal style and creating the most harmony in wardrobe, makeup, hairstyle, photos, and more!

When a duo has face lines that are very similar but with some slight variation between them, I would count the duo in:
It is when a trio has the combos for both Great Looking Duos and Good Looking Duos, this is when I would could the trio in:
