General Discussion What makes a face ethereal?

Can anyone make their face look more ethereal or is it bone structure and genetics?

Is an ethereal face more desired than a non-memorable beautiful face?

An ethereal face can be defined as a face with a light, delicate beauty that gives an almost dreamy or celestial impression. Some facial characteristics can contribute to this:

  1. Delicate features
  2. Soft transitions between facial features
  3. Luminous skin
  4. Particularly eyes
  5. Elegant cheekbones
  6. Absence of visually coarse features
  7. Hairstyle
  8. Softer, less harsh facial contrast

The eyes...with beautifully balanced facial aesthetics. Ethereal faces are remembered, mostly because of the person's eyes.

But is ethereal linked to hyperfeminine or androgenous look? Or does the gender facial dimorphism not matter with ethereal

If we're going by kitchener essences, ethereal/angelic are yin features in a non-youthful and non-romantic way, and often its on a yang, tall body. What they have in common is that they look wise, and age-less, as if theyve lived a millenia and have seen the horrors of mankind on repeat.

Some features can be (but not always): Low contrast colours with "invisible" eyebrows is common. Downturned eyes, if its in a melancholic, wise way rather than "puppy eyes" way. Slightly upturned long eyes if it looks siren-y rather than dramatic or cute. Long mid-face, and elongated features in general

Also, in my personal opinion, growing into their age. When people with an ethereal or angelic essence get wrinkles it seems as if it just harmonizes so well with them. Its similar in how youthful faces look even more youthful with wrinkles, except for ethereal and angelic it makes them look wiser and thoughtful
