Introduction: Why Skincare by a Makeup Brand Just Hits Different

Skincare aisles are full of promises — glow, hydration, anti-ageing, you name it. But if you’ve ever applied your favourite cream only to watch your foundation pill, peel, or slide right off by lunchtime, you know the truth: not all skincare plays well with makeup.​ 

​That’s where Napoleon Perdis does things differently. We didn’t just tack skincare onto our line-up. We built it from the same philosophy that’s guided our artistry for over 30 years: makeup should look effortless, feel comfortable, and be long-lasting. 

The Problem With Most Skincare Under Makeup​ 

Plenty of skincare works beautifully overnight. But under foundation? Not so much.​ 

Heavy moisturisers can cause your base to slip or separate.​ 

Silicone-heavy serums often lead to dreaded pilling.​ 

Greasy or sticky textures mean your primer won’t grip, and your powder won’t set.​ 

In short: your makeup ends up fighting your skincare, not working with it.​ 

The NP Difference: Skincare Designed For Makeup​ 

As a brand born backstage and on set, we know what it takes to make skin and makeup coexist. That’s why every NP skincare formula is:​ 

Lightweight and layerable – hydrating without heaviness.​ 

Fast-absorbing – no residue, no tackiness, no waiting game.​ 

Tested with makeup – we don’t just ask, “does this hydrate?” We ask, “does this make foundation look better?”​ 

It’s why our serums, like Radiance Renewal Hydrating Serum (Vitamin C + Hyaluronic Acid) and Radiance Regeneration Serum (Copper Peptide), deliver real skin benefits and double as the perfect prep step for your base.​ 

Why It Matters​? 

Because beauty isn’t just skin-deep — it’s skin-first. When your skincare and makeup are in sync:​ 

✔ Your foundation glides on smoother​ 

✔ Colour stays vibrant for longer​ 

✔ Your natural glow shines through, not your pores or texture​ 

It’s the difference between makeup that looks “done” and makeup that looks effortless.​ 

More Than Makeup. More Than Skincare.​ 

Napoleon Perdis is where artistry meets innovation. Skincare that preps and protects. Makeup that enhances and empowers. Together, they don’t just coexist — they make each other better.​ 

Because your beauty routine should never feel like a compromise. With NP, every step — from serum to setting spray — is designed to work together. Smoothly. Seamlessly. Unapologetically.​
