New Season Beauty

[Tue 21/02/2012 11:57:18]

Makeup Director of the David Jones Autumn/Winter 2012 Fashion Launch, Napoleon Perdis unveiled three key looks for cool seasonal style.

Napoleon Perdis for David Jones

“I'm so happy to be back in Sydney for the David Jones Autumn Winter 2012 Fashion Launch,” said Napoleon. “This is my second season directing the makeup looks for the show and I really enjoy the collaboration with the great team that David Jones is known for pulling together. I'm particularly proud of this makeup direction; not only will it make for a great runway statement but a very wearable reality for everyday.”

Look 1: Laura Mars

A nod to feminine strength and glamour, the Laura Mars looks sees a glossy burgundy lip teamed with a soft fresh eye.

“This look has been inspired by the fashion murder mystery The Eyes of Laura Mars, a cult hit in the late 1970’s. Skin has been kept clean with a slightly dewy finish and we've then focused on a soft, natural but still sculpted cheek. The strength of the look comes from the strong burgundy lip: high colour, high gloss, high impact balanced by a classic-glam burgundy nail.”

Look 2: Metalika

A wearable, on-trend adaptation of the metallic beauty trend seen on the runway, the Mealika look was the perfect launch pad for the Napoleon Perdis METALIKA colour collection.

“This makeup look is my favourite of the three. It's based around my current colour collection, Metalika, which is a play of both heavy and soft metal hues. It's a look that's definitely rock inspired but we've really worked on that element of softness so it's still super pretty.”

Look 3: Antipodean Winter

Winter our way, the Antipodean Winter look takes a barely-there base with a focus on a very matte, orange lip.

“Fresh-faced, perfectly prepped skin punctuated by a bold but beautiful lip. If a makeup look can reflect a culture then this is Australia to me. It speaks to that freshness and vitality for which Australian women are so admired.”
