Napoleon Perdis is the only cosmetics brand I have come across so far (granted, I don't come across many, seeing as I have something of a love-hate relationship with cosmetics) that sells bright red eyeshadow. Which I desperately want.
For $60.
Which nothing on earth could convince me to pay for some coloured powder. Apart from my quasi-ethical objections to spending buttloads of money on making my face look better than it is (false advertising, folks), and on spending buttloads of money to support heteronormative notions of artificial female beauty, I simply don't have that kind of cash to throw around on cosmetics. I'd rather spend it on food, if we're being honest.
Nonetheless, for those of you who have no such objections, and for those of you who don't so much as bat an eyelid at the prospect of spending $60 on eyeshadow, Napoleon Perdis would be awesome.
As far as makeup goes, the quality is excellent (don't look at me like that, I was given some as a present), you get a lot of wear out of it, and they don't test on animals (reportedly). The sales assistants are professional and helpful, even if they're not always the friendliest, and they're more than happy to give you tips about makeup application, and give you information relating to their products. read more
