Join us as we delve into the world of Napoleon Perdis, where expert tips meet playful creativity, ensuring you step into your day with eyes that truly dazzle.

Discovering the Perfect Shade 

Match Your Eye Colour 

Finding the perfect eyeliner shade to complement your eye colour is key to enhancing your natural beauty. The right hue can make your eyes pop and create a stunning focal point for your makeup look. 

For blue eyes, consider warm copper or bronze tones to create a striking contrast. These shades will bring out the depth of your blue irises, making them appear even more vibrant. 

If you have brown eyes, you're in luck – almost any colour can work wonders. However, deep purples and forest greens can add a mesmerising dimension to your gaze, accentuating the rich tones in your eyes. 

Green-eyed beauties should reach for plum or burgundy eyeliners. These reddish hues will create a beautiful contrast, making your emerald eyes shine even brighter. 

Achieving a Subtle Look 

Sometimes, less is more when it comes to eyeliner. Achieving a subtle look can be perfect for daytime wear or when you want your eyes to shine without overpowering your entire makeup ensemble. 

Opt for softer shades using the Play-Pen Eyeliner in taupe, light brown, or even a muted navy for gentle definition. These colours provide a softer alternative to harsh black, creating a more natural-looking lash line. 

Apply the eyeliner thinly, staying as close to the lash line as possible. This technique adds depth to your eyes without creating a bold, dramatic line. 

For an even more understated effect, try 'tight-lining' with the Play-Pen Eyeliner– applying it to your upper waterline. This invisible eyeliner trick makes your lashes appear fuller and your eyes more defined, all while maintaining a barely-there look. 

Application Techniques for Maximum Impact 

Mastering the Cat Eye 

The cat eye is a timeless look that adds drama and allure to any makeup style. With the ultra-smooth and creamy formula of Napoleon Perdis Sketch Pot Gel Eyeliner, achieving this classic flick becomes a breeze, ensuring precision and lasting wear with every application. 

Start by using your eyeliner to draw a thin line along your upper lash line, from the inner corner to the outer edge. 

At the outer corner, extend the line with the Sketch Pot Gel Eyeliner upwards and outwards at a 45-degree angle. The length of this flick depends on how dramatic you want your cat eye to be. 

Connect the tip of the flick back to your lash line, creating a small triangle with the smooth, creamy formula of the gel eyeliner. 

Fill in the triangle and smooth out any rough edges using the gel eyeliner for a flawless finish. 

Remember, practice makes perfect. Don't be discouraged if your first attempts aren't symmetrical – even makeup artists sometimes need a few tries to get it right! 

Smudging for a Smoky Effect 

A smudged, smoky eyeliner look exudes effortless cool and can take you from day to night with ease. Napoleon Perdis eyeliners, particularly the versatile and easily blendable Sketch Pot Gel Eyeliner, are perfect for creating this sultry effect, making it easy for anyone to pick up. 

Begin by applying your chosen shade along your upper lash line. Don't worry about creating a perfect line – we're going for a lived-in look here. 

Next, use a smudging brush or your fingertip to gently blur the line, working the colour up towards your crease. The Sketch Pot Gel Eyeliner makes it simple to blend enough to soften the line, while maintaining enough definition. 

For added intensity, apply some eyeliner to your lower lash line and smudge it out as well. This creates a beautiful, smoky halo around your eyes. 

Quick Touch-Up Tips 

Even with perfect application and priming, you might need a quick touch-up during the day. Here are some handy tips to keep your eyeliner looking fresh: 

Carry a cotton swab and a small bottle of micellar water for precise touch-ups without disturbing the rest of your makeup. 

If your eyeliner has smudged, use the pointed end of a cotton swab to gently remove the excess, then reapply a small amount of product to sharpen the line. 

For gel eyeliners that may have dried out slightly, try warming the product on the back of your hand before applying. This can help it glide on more smoothly during touch-ups. 

Summary

Remember, a little goes a long way when touching up your eyeliner. Start with small amounts and build up as needed to avoid overdoing it.
