Shine is Good

Napolian Perdis
Allison Kaplan interviewed makeup guru Napoleon Perdis last week and he had a couple of great makeup tips that I wanted to pass along.
Mascara first - yes first. Before eyeliner, before concealor, before coffee. "Mascara wakes up the face and makes you see that you really don't look that bad," Perdis says.

Brilliant!, I say.
I once had a client that would put mascara on before she went to bed (bad idea by the way), because just in case there was an emergency in the middle of the night, ie., firemen, paramedics, etc.

Anyhoo...my favorite tip from Napoleon?
"It's OK to be a little bit shiny. There's too much foundation in America." he says.

Thank you baby Jesus for Napoleon.
