My make-up

Here is a sneak peak at a few of my favourite products currently in my make-up bag for the month of April..

Napoleon Perdis 'Prismatic Eye-quad' in #4

This baby is an essential in my make-up bag. I reach for it every time I do my make up. It's the perfect neutral matt eye palette. It contains 4 pressed powder eye shadows, that glide smoothly over your eyelid. 

The vanilla white makes for the perfect eye primer or base, as it works well to mattify the eyelid. 

The nude pink is great for a effortless everyday 'put together' look. 

The Brown (on the bottom left) is perfect worked into the eye socket or outer 'v' of the crease to add definition to the eye. It's also a perfect dupe for much hyped about MAC eye shadow in the colour bark. 

Last but not least is the grey toned brown, which is fabulous for filling in darker eyebrows to create a tidy brow to frame the face. This is also a great dupe for MAC espresso

It comes in a great little compact, with a built in mirror, which makes it ideal for throwing into your bag whilst on the go.

$60.00 NZD 

Available at selected Farmers department stores across NZ

Napoleon Perdis loose eye dust in Star Light

This loose dust is so so pigmented and has an amazing vivid colour pay off onto the eye lids.

A bronze/gold colour, it accentuates the intensity of blue eyes.  It sparkles and pigment particles reflect light, 'glamming' up any eye look

This works to keep foundation in place. It mattifys the skin and keeps oil at bay all day.

This balm has a delightful mouthwatering scent and is best applied under your favourite lipstick to achieve plump, moisturised smackers.
