Outfits Ensembles Trends Advice

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if you could tell me what era my face looks like it's from (especially my profile). I know that I don’t have a very modern looking face, and clothes that are too trendy look off on me. One of the videos shows all my angles the best, but the other video gives you a better idea of my coloring, so I included both. As you can see, I have a pretty large nose and forehead as well as a pointy chin (especially when I smile). Is there a time period or art style that you could see my face (and hair) blending easily into?

I had to attach a link because I wasn't able to post videos on this forum.

how about pre-raphaelite?

You do have a pre-twentieth century look. Too healthy tho for Arthurian times! A little later maybe

The 17th century.

Well, following Vildy's thought, I suspect you would fit right in as a subject in a Rafael portrait, so I vote Italian Renaissance. Fun question; now you've got me thinking about where I'd put myself on an art history timeline!

What a fun question. I go with Italian Renaissance for you. I am 18th century Dutch and have to avoid peasant blouses.

I agree with the responses here. You have a face worthy of great portraiture! I find myself questioning how trendy clothes look off on you, though. I would think some trends would be perfectly fine, while others maybe not so much. I've read that clothing that echoes the lines and shapes in our faces and hair can give a harmonious look. So maybe focusing on clothing with more rounded shapes and lines, rather than sharp angles, would achieve the harmony you're after.

You would be perfect in Shakespear plays.

I am going to second the pre-Raphaelite and the Italian Renaissance, and raise you an Italian style 1950's onward. I think you could dress from classic Sophia Loren, up to current Dolce and Gabbana styles. Lots of ornate, lots of embroidery and whimsy.

Also, yes to Shakespeare looks. Ruffle shirts, pants tucked into boots, fitted waistcoats or vests.

You remind me of the paintings of Italian painter Botticelli (1445-1510).

You are very pretty, but faces don't have eras, despite what makeup and modeling trends might try to make us think.
