- Have you ever heard of the term "Facial Gender"? It tells you whether your face has a more masculine or a feminine feel to your appearance. In this video I talk about the key facial features within the face that have the highest impact on determining your facial gender.

Ppl who feel bad about masculine facial gender, this doesnt mean u are manly or unattractive. Infact, these are the features most modelling agencies look for. Why u ask? Because they are unique and stand out.
They also photograph well!
@@Fangirl0498 you're right! Paying attention to these features can really make u a one time beauty. It's hard to keep that in mind when the trend rn is dramatic/airy makeup
Thank you so much for this comment ❤❤❤
@@stylemejenn its been months since this video and you still replied, gotta respect your grind and care for the audience! XD
LOVE U FOR THIS I LOVEEEEEE SHARP FEATURES OMG
Unfortunately, Bella and Zoe look borderline ridiculous after surgery. They went overboard with it for sure.
Agreed. Am not against plastic surgery in general but they were already perfect looking to start off with 🙄 the surgery just made them look "unique" which i suppose is a thing now??! Or not - cos all the celebrities are morphing into the same person!! But overall not in a flattering way
I think when you’re surrounded by people (like Hollywood) where everyone is so comfortable with changing their appearances through plastic surgery, you could easily get swayed into reconsidering your current look! It’s unfortunate 😔
Did they do surgery or just fillers? If fillers, they should slowly be absorbed by the body and return to how they were before.
Bella recently said that she regrets getting a nosejob at 14 ):
i think another important feature is the hairline. whenever my hair is covering it, i appear a lot more feminine but once i tie my hair it shows how squareish my hairline and it reallyyyy masculinizes my appearance
Agreed! A square hairline has a tendency to add masculinity to the face as well :)
I think in Zoe's case her new extremely pointed chin also clashes with the overall more blunt angles of her face. It looks like it's from a different person. I think Kibbe's types are also useful in analysing "enhanced" facial features through cosmetic procedures and plastic surgery as it is this clash that oftentimes makes someone with altered features look off.
Thank you for your content btw, it really made me think about makeup and hair in a more systematic manner. I hope you get the recognition you deserve as your content is top notch and unique.
Thank you so much for the compliment - I’m glad you’re finding my content useful! I’m not so well versed in Kobe but I’ve always been curious to learn more about it. There have been some suggestions to provide my perspective on the system so I hope to dive into it more soon! ❤️
I can’t get enough of how you explain face features. I love all of your videos ❤
You are so sweet! Thank you for the kind and motivating words, as always ❤️❤️❤️
This explains how a natural female bodybuilder lifting heavy weight consistently can STILL remain feminine-looking and objectively beautiful/sexy. If she has symmetrical feminine facial features, she'll never look masculine or brutish... she doesn't look like a tomboy. She can wear her hair in a bun and still look like a bombshell!
I would love to see your take on the Kitchener and Kibbe typing systems. You helped me so much on finding my color season, I would love to hear your opinions on the body typing and essence typing systems that might help me FINALLY figuring out mine 😂
I’m not well versed in Kibbe and Kitchener essences but always wanted to dive into it more! I’ll see what I can do with it ❤️
@@stylemejennhello I have brow bone but I have small round nose but it is a little contour,and I have high cheekbones and long lower face please tell me that I have a masculine or feminine features?
I've always thought having a longer lower part would be good for me to balance out the rest of my face, because it's my shorter part, but when you mentioned that it gave Zoe a more youthful look, I've realized that a longer pointier chin would make my face look more mature and I wouldn't like that. Thank you!
You are welcome! Glad you found the tip helpful :)
Omg same I've always hated my "weak" v jaw but i realised it just makes me look more feminine and youthful !!
Love how you explain beauty has to do with relativity and harmony of features in people.
The wealth of knowledge that Jenn puts into each and every one of her videos are invaluable lessons. It's only a matter of time before she and her channel reaps all the success and popularity that it truly, truly deserves. (And you and I will get to say that we were among her first original OG's!) Cheers!
Thank you! I’m glad you like my approach ❤️
What a sweet comment ❤️❤️❤️ thank you!
I think canthal tilt and philtrum length is the next most important features to masc/fem features.
I’m prepping a video about eye shapes and will definitely touch on the angles of your eyes and their effects ❤️
Philtrum for sure
I think the canthal tilt and filtrum is more to do wuth perceive age(ontogonous/neotenous). Not gender.
Thank you for this video! It really helped me understand why hetero men are rarely drawn to me. I clearly have too much masculine features resulting in a masculine facial gender. Can you maybe do a video with tips and tricks how to make a masculine face more feminine and prettier?
You’re welcome! I’ll see if I can do a follow up on this topic ☺️
I have the same problem! Usually I'm attractive to very feminine guys or mammy boys, finally I understood why😕
I just watched an older video by Dear Peachie that explained facial gender and also gave easy tips on how to shorten or lengthen certain parts of your face to soften or define your features.
@@YACABEyes its very helpfull
Wow Jenn. Your explanations are spot on. So so true... Finally someone illuminated my brain regarding the bushy eyebrow trend. Wish I would have thought about it earlier.
I also got braces in my late 30s and it changed my features so much...made my face even more masculine.
Now will have to work on self acceptance 😅
How???
How did your braces make your face more masculine?
I know this might come across as superficial, but one of the most empowering things I’ve learned in all of my 43 years of life thus far, is the enormous asset that a woman obtains when she's acquired the skills to help her present herself in the best ways that she can. When a woman walks out the door knowing that she looks her best, I don't care her size, how much natural or unnatural beauty she has - that woman will naturally project a powerhouse of self confidence that radiates from the inside out - which not only compliments her beauty - but it can quite literally make her a game changer in the world.
This is why I have so much love and appreciation for the way Jenn encourages us to emphasize some of what we might see as "flaws" because - in reality, it's those "flaws" that make us uniquely beautiful in our own ways.
Take Meryl Streep for instance. Did you know that when she was a young, up and coming actress, she was actually told that the prominence of her nose would hinder the success of her acting career?? She considered getting a nose job, but ultimately decided to go against the advice and to just 'see what happens'.
Along with her remarkable acting capabilities, it's her nose that is one of the features most people find the most beautiful about her. Yes, it's a bit bigger than average, but it's uniquely hers and it makes her, her.
So many young women of today are getting all sorts of plastic surgeries, in the hopes of altering whatever they perceive as "flaws" - in the hopes of becoming another standard replica cookie cutter Kardashian.
I believe so much in the perfection of imperfection - nobody else in this entire world can be another exact you. And that makes you remarkably beautiful.
I’m glad you found the video helpful! In the end self acceptance for ALL of our features is the end goal imo ❤️❤️❤️
I couldn’t agree to this more, thank you ❤️❤️❤️
5:03 the brow definition actually affects neotany, which tends to be a feminine leaning trait.
I loveeee angular jawlines on women ❤️
Nowwww I understand why I tried the "bushy eyebrow" trend, with different professionals, and looked teeeerrible! Thank you so much. I'll never let them convince me to do this again!
I’m glad you found the video helpful! ❤️
Great video. I’m already adjusting with your tipping in mind. Also, loving the reduction in sound effects!
I love seeing how many video ideas you’re gathering through the comments, I’m so excited for all of them!
I know I’m so grateful ❤️❤️❤️ thank you for the support!
You explain this better than anyone. Finally get it! Thanks!
I'm glad you found it helpful! ❤
Jenn, I've watched every video on your channel now - I've watched some of your vides twice, some of them even three times. As I write this comment, it looks like the amount of subscribers that your channel has is just over 13k. What this tells me is that you haven't quite been discovered by CZcams's beauty community just yet. Believe me when I say, that at 43 years old, I have consumed an enormous amount of makeup tutorials, various beauty techniques, and all the beauty trends that have come and gone over the past 15 years.
What I can tell you as a certain fact is that the level of game-changing knowledge and information that you so generously provide has far exceeded all of the channels I've been watching and supporting - and I'm talking COMBINED. What sets your channel apart from the rest is in the remarkable abundance of exceptionally useful knowledge that you share in each and every video that you put out. I've seen CZcamsrs, influencers beauty experts, etc... absolutely blow up out of now where, quite literally over night.
You have everything and more than some of the most successful CZcamsrs in history have - not only are you fun to watch, but you're eloquent, easy to follow and understand - and the knowledge that you provide is remarkably invaluable. So basically what I'm trying to say to you, is this... I hope that you are prepared for the massive success you are about to embark on. It's only a matter of time - and believe me, when it hits - it is going to HIT.
I am so proud that I will get to say that I was among of your first 15k subscribers, that I am among one of the first Style Me Jenn's OG's!! I'm so excited to see the success that you and your channel are about to plunge into - and are SO deserving of!!
Until then, I'll be here watching, supporting and rooting you on!!!
BIG Cheers to you, Girl!!!
~Kelley ~
(AKA - One of Style Me Jenn's first OG's)
Hi Kelley, what a sweet and thoughtful compliment - I’m so flattered!! Thank you so, so much for the kind words. I’m truly grateful 🙏🙈 It gives me so much motivation and encouragement to keep going! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love your videos. Not only bc you are so beautiful and your voice is so pleasant, but also bc they are so informative and helpful ❤
❤❤❤❤❤ You are so sweet thank you
Your videos are so insightful. Now i finally understand why I dont look good with big brows! I have a bigger nose and deep set eyes
I’m glad you found the video helpful! ❤️
I always learn so much on here. Thanks, Jenn.✨🌸✨
Thank you Julia for always leaving such sweet comments ❤️❤️❤️
I have bushy brows, big nose and deepset eyes 😬 but i also have "delicate" and softly curved lips, cheekbones, chin and jaw...so i think it gives a kind of balance to my face. Plus as a 36 y.o professional i don't really wanna strive for a Disney Princess look anymore 😅😅
My peers and subordinates are typically males in their 50s and 60s, and while am not "young" there is tendency for some of them to look at me as if am a little girl 🙄 at least their first impression! Which is NOT helped by the fact that i have a youthful face/ vibe in general and am only 5'ft tall 😂😂
This is incredible!❤
Great channel with new insights!
Thank you - glad you found the content informative! ❤️
i love your content, youre one of the best on youtube
Thank you so much for the compliment - I'm glad you're finding my content useful :D
These videos are super helpful, thanks! I’ve found I try to soften my masculine jawline with layers, but I wonder if this ends up drawing more attention there
I wouldn't think so! Layers can reduce the hair volume around your facial outline so it brings down the contrast level between your hair and skin, which makes the jawline appear less prominent :) Buttt I should add that depending on the length of your hair the hairstyle itself may bring more emphasis to your facial features themselves, so if your features have a masculine feel overall, then the image would be highlighted more too!
Excellent video, thanks a lot!
You’re welcome!! Thank you always for the encouraging comments 🙏❤️
I prefer yin and Yang because it has fewer connotations and thus it’s easier to identify in faces regardless of gender.
Fair point!
Here comes the hipster w/ the wrong language to be PC and use passive-aggressive words to make us all lazy and dumbed down. PLEASE STOP! The word 'masculine' is the right professional objectively standard word. Your hyper-sensitive feelings shows how mentally off you are. Go get some psychotherapy if you're that sensitive! Let the rest of us live in the real world!
Agreed. No woman wants to be called ‘masculine’. It’s just another thing to be insecure about for life.
I’m female and I have a strong jawline and prominent cheekbones with slim hollow cheeks and my face sits on the longer side,
. with my nose being a bit long with a slight hump but a slightly upturned rounded tip. With my lips not being too thin, not overly large either, in between. I also have deep set eyes and low eyebrows that are slightly arched, not thin , nor bushy but in the middle. My eyes are in between round and almond shape, and a very pale blue. I find most people are drawn to my eyes when they see me because I get a lot of compliments on my eyes. I get insecure about my jawline because I find it too masculine. So I keep my hair long so that it frames my face and covers my jaw a bit, my hair is light brown and naturally wavy so I don’t need to do much to style it. My skin is quite fair, I don’t get tanned. I’m short, 5’2” but my features are all elongated and narrow and I appear taller than I actually am. I like to dress nicely and wear modest feminine clothing. Sometimes I wish I had softer more delicate facial features. But then I realize that some people want prominent cheekbones and a strong jawline like me. God has made everyone so uniquely and beautifully . It’s interesting to learn about different physical features that are unique to each individual. I’m an artist and I paint and draw all sorts of things, and I have really enjoyed painting and drawing portraits lately.
💯! We're all unique in our own way ❤
Hy,i am female and i have angular jawline, prominent cheekbones and hollow cheeks and i have short face
My nose is small but boney with round tip my lips are full and small/normal in size and i think my eyes are close to my eyesbrows ,
So can you please tell me what facial gender i have ?

I’m old enough to have seen trends cycle, it’s more useful to identify what works on you and rock that.
Totally agree on Zoe!
Your channel’s blowing up! 😁
It’s getting quite a bit traction for sure!! So grateful 🙏
Very interesting! ❤ Jen, what method do you use for your consultations, is it any particular concept like kibbe or the fruits bodyshape…?
I use proportional analysis to base my recommendations off of! It’s similar to what plastic surgeons use, but obviously my recommendations are not about making permanent changes to the face but rather using different hair & makeup styles to bring more harmony to the overall look ☺️
I think Jennifer connely, brooke shields, jennifer aniston etc all look very masculine especially since they aged. The combination of heavy brow ridge, bushy brows and square jaws does this.
I have big nose big libs and big to middle eyes and a masculine forehead and I never felt pretty whit tick eyebrows now i can understand why ty dolly 💗
You're welcome - glad you found the video helpful! ❤
Loved this video - I've been thinking about this topic a lot since contemplating getting a pixie cut!
I'm super curious about what you have to say about concave and convex face profiles? I have a convex forehead, convex nose and a concave chin 😅 Sometimes I feel frustrated by this but would love to know your thoughts on it!
Someone else also suggested a side profile video so I’ve got it added to my topics list!! I’ll see what I can come up with ☺️
You should also check out my pixie cut video with Halle Berry as an example! Hopefully that will also help you decide ❤️
I’m a flamboyant gamine in Kibbe so I definitely have a mixture of feminine and masculine traits but I prefer mostly masculine traits. Even before they were a trend I always liked how villains in tv and movies looked and they tend to have more Yang features even if they’re women. Btw I wonder if emphasizing my more Yang traits will make me look older? I think you’ll remember me I’ve commented on other videos of yours before lol I’m the person who doesn’t like looking baby faced 😅
Btw I have a short lower third which I think contributes to me looking younger if I remember what you said about Gigi Hadid in your last video. I’m gonna try experimenting with makeup tonight trying to increase my lower third length and also making my brows higher. I remember that also from this video where you talked about Ariana Grande and how her higher brows made her look a bit more older and mature
A short lower third does contribute to a more youthful image! On the other hand a longer middle third makes you more mature, which was why I mentioned Ariana’s brows being raised as a factor that could age her slightly, but with Ariana she has SUCH a youthful looking face that the impact isn’t big! I think it really depends on how young your face looks ☺️
@@stylemejennyes at a first sight you coul think that she looks mature but if you look her closer she still very youth! I wonder whats makes her so youth?
i have a big head compared to what most women have which makes my forehead bigger and jawline wider, but this video helped me learn i still have more feminine features! my jawline is soft, i have prominent soft cheekbones, and more rounded features overall.
I'm glad the video was helpful for you!
Thank you!!
You're welcome! ❤️
I definitely have a "masculine" facial gender based on this guide but I wouldn't consider my face by itself all that masculine. The thing making me look feminine/neutral despite my angular blunt jaw, large nose, heavy brows and prominent browbone is my eyes and lips. I have very round, large eyes with long eyelashes and thin sharp pink lips that help balance out my face more in an androgynous direction. I also have light colored hair and low facial contrast that gives me more softness to my look. Im pretty sure im a kibbe DC and a Kitchener Dramatic Gamine Natural for reference.
Jenn, can you give some celebrity examples on the yin side? And examples of celebrities in the middle, women that are neutral, neither masculine nor feminine?
Answer the questions, please.
I love the toned down blonde color on the sides that you have now!
Thank you! I died them dark brown but it’s fading to be a lighter brown / dark blonde now ☺️
I totally agree about Zoe, she was gorgeous and now she looks a little odd
Agreed!
I definitely have a boyish masculine face which sucks because I really like pixie cuts but I can't pull off the short hair, 'cause I end up just literally looking like a guy!! Ughh I hate it, lol!
I have masculine T-sone and U-zone... And I am woman. Sometimes it's hard, especially when the Internet is full of very light airy feminine girls, and you know that you are far from it
The beauty standards in our society is extremely limited and constraining - don’t be discouraged by it! ❤️
I love the video. Its a little difficult though to decipher the U shape with chubby faces where there's double chin and chubby cheeks. Would you be able to educate using these features as well?
I actually have a video on "Hairstyles for Chubby Faces" where I talk about double chin and jowly jawline. You should check it out!
We really need a video on styling a big forehead please
I have a couple of videos on bangs where I talk about big foreheads so you should check them out if you haven’t already! ☺️
I have very prominant brow bones and deep set eyes but i have a large space between my eyes and eyebrows so its not always that brows are low woth prominent bones. My brows are not thick and bushy, they are wide when not styled how i wear them but theyre fine in texture and quite sparse.
I also have very prominent cheek bones too. But as you say we all have a balance. I have full cheeks and full lips.
I always thought I was in the middle but looking at myself is always difficult to be objective :(
I agree - it requires some practice to be objective!
I've known I have masculine/sharp features all my life because people immediately tell me I look exactly like my brother. They find our faces so so similar even though we are years apart. I also look like the exact version of my dad if he were a girl, if that makes sense 😅 only my eyes and lips are slightly more feminine.
I get told that I am the girl version of my dad all the time so I can relate 😂
Zoe could have just tried a fringe instead of altering her face to disguise the forehead
Hello,yes I'm first
This comfirms my need for a chin or jaw reduction
jenn, do you have any tips for making low set brows appear higher?🥺😭
Heyy a couple of tips: as I've mentioned in the video you could use a lighter color on the brows themselves to make the eyelid area appear more open - if you have really dark brows I find Kiss Me Heavy Rotation Coloring Eyebrow works quite well. Another tip that someone else actually shared in one of the comments was to draw the brows along the top where the brow bones catch the light, so the brows don't appear as protruded. I haven't tried this trick myself but I thought it was a useful tip if you have low set brows due to your eyes being deeper-set. Hope it helps!! ❤
@@stylemejenn thank you so much!! ill try this ♡♡♡
I'm in the middle of characteristics!
And faces with "Yang" features do not mean masculine or virago, on the contrary, they can be beautiful and strong at the same time!
Agreed!! ❤❤❤
Would you be willing to do a video about visual weight/facial gender that focuses on black people specifically? The baseline for what I’d consider a wide nose is higher, so the examples and proportions I’ve seen aren’t usually very helpful.
Thanks for the video!
Let me see what I can think of!
@@stylemejenn Thank you! I really do appreciate your work
I have a masculine face but it does not make me stand out I’m always told I look like a man . And this video just confirmed ✅ it 😅(great video tho)
If you’re ok with it then fine but have you considered maybe it’s the hair colors and make up trends that also contribute or maybe accentuate those traits?
I notice women now have learned to do their make up almost like drag queens which is cool sometimes if you are aging or maybe want to learn how to “fix” certain things but it seems everyone is doing very trend . So if everyone does it not everyone will look at it
@ifyouknowyouknow, And if you don't you don't. How does looking like an aging drag queen look cool, especially when you're not one? LOL! Do you have any facts, theories, examples to back that up?
You need to credit dear peachie's videos
I’m a fan of the channel and mention it sometimes in my other videos! Specific to this video though there are some overlapping theories I talk about with their video about facial gender, but I didn’t think that I was plagiarizing the content in any way?? These theories are not “developed” by the channel - these are well-known theories especially in the Asian beauty industry 🙂
Hy,i am female and i have angular jawline, prominent cheekbones and hollow cheeks and i have short face
My nose is small but boney with round tip my lips are full and small/normal in size and i think my eyes are close to my eyesbrows ,
So can you please tell me what facial gender i have ?
It’s difficult to say without seeing the face! But a strong jawline and a short distance from eyes to eyebrows are both more masculine / Yang traits!
I had to giggle when you said longer noses could come over as masculine - because my minds eye went straight to Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn etc. You couldn't find 2 more feminine women than they were. 😂
It's not actually the length alone that adds masculinity - it's the overall prominence and especially the prominence / width of your nose bridge :) I also think that Sophia Loren and Audrey Hepburn both have a good mix of masculine AND feminine features within their faces, so they don't lean too heavily on the feminine side!
@@stylemejenn Interesting. That's nice, isn't it? To know we can be mixed. X
Does a wider nose indicate masculinity
A more developed T-Zone does lean more towards the Yang side but please note it's not a negative thing 😊
Bella went from a pretty girl to Jeffree star
😂😂😂
im a trans woman and have so much interest in this topic! thanks so much for such a great vid! :D
You're welcome! I'm glad the video was helpful :)
Zoe’s God-given beauty was marvelous! The augmentation / plastic surgery is grotesque in my opinion. It has utterly distorted her face.
Such a pity. I loved her long forehead.
Don’t come at me. I’m not criticizing her actual beauty, I’m critiquing something which is a foreign agent under her skin, and it’s not pretty at all.
this video is comforting to watch as a transwoman
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bless the people having the plastic surgery available today cause there's no way id😢 trust someone to permanently transform me.
Until its literally a perfect operation, I'm good. Youre literally paying to be a guinea pig 😢
True - I have heard of some terrible horror stories of plastic surgeries gone wrong 😢
So if I wanted to feminize my face more given a more wide and masculine jawline, should I skip cheek contour? I am going to experiment the next time I wear a face of makeup.
