Napoleon Perdis is the man
that every girl wants in her bedroom. I am referring to his beauty products of
course. I am a huge fan of his stuff; I have a long list of items I’d love to
buy at some point! This primer is a well loved item in my makeup collection. It
is a purple/greyish toned primer designed to brighten up the complexion for a
youthful, vibrant glow.
What I really like about
the primer is that it is available at Target, which is really rare for a higher
end beauty product. It retails for $29, which might be considered pretty pricey
for Target, but when compared to MAC or NARS, it is pretty affordable. The tube
is a great size, and you get a whole load of product inside. The packaging is
sleek and pastel lilac (I love anything pastel!) and white. Gorgeous.
The product itself is a very
strange looking purple/grey colour. I did some research and it is this colour
to counteract dulling yellow tones in the face, which makes sense (think green
concealers to counteract redness). It is the usual thick-ish pastey primer
formula, and spreads and blends pretty well.
The primer contains an
anti-aging complex, which I’m not entirely sure I’m in dire need of now, but
maybe one day! I can’t really comment on the effectiveness on that as I
currently am lacking in the wrinkle department! I’m happy with the brightening effects
of the primer though, my skin does appear a whole lot less dull after
application. It also has a really smoothing effect on my skin, and I’d say this
was the aspect of the primer I am happiest with. It really does create a gorgeously
smooth base for you to then blend foundation on top of. **Pro-tip! – use a
brush to blend the primer into your skin, then use the same brush for your
foundation. The mixture of the products makes for extra staying power, and the
brightening effects of the primer work through the foundation too. I’d recommend
the Sigma F80 Flat Top Kabuki brush.
Overall, I’m always
impressed with the NP set and Napoleon Perdis’ makeup range. Next on my hitlist
is the lip plumper treatment!
What is your favourite NP
set product?
