Take the Day (or the Night before) Off
Skincare Designed for Makeup Wearers
Long day. Big night. Full face. Whatever you’re taking off - makeup, SPF, stress, or all three - the most important step in your skincare routine happens before your serums even touch your skin.
At Napoleon Perdis, skincare doesn’t exist in isolation. It’s designed for people who wear makeup - because we know better than anyone what it takes to apply it beautifully and remove it properly.
That’s where Lift Off Makeup Removing Balm Cleanser comes in: the ultimate first cleanse that melts away makeup without stripping skin, setting the tone for hydrated, healthy-looking skin - every single night.
Why Makeup-First Skincare Matters
Makeup doesn’t just sit on the surface of skin. It layers. It sets. It locks in.
Foundations, primers, long-wear formulas and waterproof mascara are designed to last - so your skincare needs to be smart enough to remove them properly.
Harsh cleansers can leave skin tight, compromised and dehydrated. Incomplete removal can lead to congestion, dullness and makeup that never quite sits right the next day.
Napoleon Perdis cleansers are formulated with one clear philosophy: If you know how to apply makeup expertly, you know how to remove it properly too.
Take Everything Off - Gently
This is where your night truly begins.
Lift Off Makeup Removing Balm Cleanser is your go-to for melting away the day (or night) in one luxurious step. It transforms from balm to oil to milk, dissolving makeup while feeding skin with conditioning oils - no tugging, no stripping, no residue.
Why it’s the ultimate makeup-removal hero
- Hemp Seed, Jojoba Seed & Evening Primrose Oils dissolve long-wear makeup while maintaining skin comfort
- Pear Fruit Extract helps break down makeup without disrupting the skin barrier
- Ivy Leaf Extract conditions and soothes, making removal feel calming, not aggressive
The result:Makeup is gone. Skin feels nourished, supple and calm - never tight, never squeaky clean.
How to use it: Massage onto dry skin with dry fingertips. Let the warmth of your hands melt the balm into an oil, dissolving makeup and SPF. Add water to emulsify into a milky texture, then rinse.
Pro tip: When skin feels stressed or dehydrated, apply a generous layer and leave on for 5–10 minutes as a nourishing mask before rinsing.
PS: this product is gentle enough to use on the eye area
Cleanse Without Compromise
After makeup removal, skin needs balance - not more stress.
The Lift Off Makeup Remover Water is your second cleanse that removes residue while keeping hydration intact.
Why it works so well after makeup removal
- Kakadu Plum Extract provides antioxidant protection
- Aloe Vera conditions and hydrates
- Hemp Seed Extract softens while cleansing
The result: Clean, calm, comfortable skin - perfectly prepped for serums.
Hydration That Works With Makeup (Not Against It)
Once skin is clean, hydration becomes the secret to makeup that sits better, lasts longer and looks more natural.
Radiance Renewal Hydrating Serum (Morning)
Lightweight, plumping and makeup-friendly, this serum hydrates without slipping or pilling under base products.
- Hyaluronic Acid + Sodium Hyaluronate deliver multi-level hydration
- Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Glucoside) brightens and protects
- Kakadu Plum Extract provides antioxidant support
Makeup artist tip: Mix a drop with foundation for a sheer, skin-like finish.
Radiance Regeneration Serum (Night)
Think of this as your overnight reset - restoring skin after a full day of makeup wear.
- Copper Peptides support skin repair and elasticity
- Kangaroo Paw Extract enhances resilience
- Lightweight enough to layer, powerful enough to deliver results
Wake up to skin that feels refreshed, smooth and replenished.
Lock It All In: Hydration Meets Longevity
Skincare doesn’t stop once makeup is applied.
- Camera Finish Matte Setting Spray hydrates while extending wear
- Auto Pilot Calming Skin Primer preps, protects and comforts skin before foundation
Both are designed to support skin under makeup - not just how makeup looks on top.

Your Skincare Questions, Answered.
From ingredient breakdowns to makeup myths and skincare secrets, we’re here to give it to you straight — the Napoleon Perdis way. Whether you're a beauty beginner or a glam guru, let’s get you glowing.
Is Napoleon Perdis skincare cruelty-free and vegan?
All Napoleon Perdis skincare is cruelty-free. We do not test any of our makeup or skincare products on animals, and we are committed to ethical beauty practices. Many of our skincare products are also vegan because glamour should never come at the cost of kindness.
Why is skincare important?
Because great skin is always in. Skincare isn’t just self-care, it’s your skin’s foundation for glow, resilience and long-term radiance. Think of it as prepping your canvas: the smoother, healthier and more hydrated your skin, the better your makeup performs.
How do I Layer Skincare Products?
It’s all about layering like a pro: cleanse, tone (if you like), serum, eye cream, moisturiser, SPF. Lightweight to rich, so every product performs at its best.
How do I know my skin type?
Get close and personal with your skin. Oily? You’ll see shine, especially by midday. Dry? Expect tightness or flaking. Combination? A bit of both. Sensitive? Redness or reactivity. Trust your skin, it’s always giving you clues.
What’s the best skincare routine for my skin type?
There’s no one-size-fits-all, and that’s the beauty of it. Your skin deserves a personalised ritual. Whether you're dry, oily, or somewhere in between, we’ve crafted formulas to balance, nourish, and elevate. Cleanse, treat, hydrate, protect. Repeat.
Do I really need to wear sunscreen every day?
Absolutely. Think of SPF as your skin’s ultimate bodyguard, rain, shine, or cloud. Our daily formulas are weightless, protective, and designed to layer under makeup without fuss.
