NAPOLEON PERDIS! HIS AMAZING NEW ACADEMY SPACE AND THE LAUNCH OF NUDE BAR! DON'T WORRY.

Mon, 04/16/2012 - 12:40pm
  • Mondays With Meg
  • Lips

Meg here! I know I write about some out there topics but don't worry. Napoleon Perdis Nude Bar is not some new, seedy, drinking joint in a shady part of town! Oh you silly geese! Napoleon Perdis was all about reds for this fall, he was as he always is, completely on target and trend. It may help to be completely on target and trend when you're the one that creates them...Back to my point. I swear I had one.

So this spring if you're going to be doing the still hot mettalic eyeshadows then you must pair it with the always sexy nude lip. If you're doing subtle eyes than go for a bold, spring lip. The Master recommends Hara or Aphrodite!

I write that and it doesn't sound nearly as fabulous as when Napoleon says it! I wish I was able to exude such prescence. Perdis has been one of the worlds leading makeup artists for years and his Napoleon Perdis Makeup Academy  has been held in the highest esteem. It's like having Harvard on your resume for the beauty world. Unlike other schools, Perdis has created an experience that takes students through the steps, A-Z. Let's Start with "A" shall we? A for Ambience. The school space is over 9,000 feet on Hollywood Boulevard. It's steps away from where they host this little event called "The Oscars." So no big deal. 

Napoleon painstakingly created a work space where his studios not only have top notch materials (computer library, tons of beauty literature and amazing work stations complete with their extremely successful teachers.) He went a step further. Instead of having students searching for cool locations, Napoleon built a studio inside the Academy. At the turn of a key, his school space not only turns into a professional shooting studio but also a fabulous event space. Major magazines and TV productions have been using it at as shooting space and that's incredible exposure for some very lucky up and coming beauty talents.

One of the reasons Napoleon is so great is because he takes the guess work out of trying to duplicate the trends. Through trial and tribulation (working on the biggest faces in Hollywood) he learned what translated to "real life." I love that I'm not going to have to sort through "the perfect nude lippy" becuase he already did that for me and presented his top 5 choices. That's pretty genius.

Tomorrow, I'll have up part 2 of our exclusive Napoleon interveiw! That's where we explore his brand new Camera Foundation. It's finally warming up out here in L.A. L.A. Land (I can see you rolling your eyes from here!) I just can't wait to go nude.

How about you? Who else is all about the nude lip?

So interesting that NP has gone from Target to Nordstrom while so many other brands go the other way!  I am waiting for LaMer to show up at the Dollar Store!  This was an excellent interview and I am looking forward to Part 2.  I do love a nude lip or one that is just barely pinky-brown.  Back in the 90's (were you born yet Meg????) when Bobbi Brown came out commercially with her very limited line, there were a couple of pink brown lip colors that just gave enough color, shine and coverage to feel put together, but not out there!  I look forward to checking out his line at Nordstrom.

I like nude lips, or what I like to call, "like lips only better." I think more intense colors are aging.

I adore Napoleon Perdis and all of the lip products I've tried from him are to die for.  His Holiday gloss set from this past Christmas are still my favorite glosses in my stash!  Thanks for doing the interview and I look forward to part 2.  Nude lips can be hard to pull off without looking dead and I'm so happy he has done the work for us!

I like using MLBB (my lips but better) shades, usually it's just chapstick though. I've never liked any nude shades that make my lips lighter, though- my lips are pretty pigmented.

Me! When I don't feel like having makeup on, a slightly pink-leaning pair of nude lips gives a natural and polished look.

i can't wait for part 2! i wanna hear more about this powder foundation...as for the nude bar, that sounds really really intriguing to me..i'm a very minimalist makeup girl on weekdays for work, so anything that's natural "but fabulous" is right up my alley! i've yet to find a good nude lip that i can pull off, though..i'm so fair that a nude lip just looks like the rest of my face...very odd, to put it lightly. but i do love a pinky beige lip...just a healthy, natural color that doesn't make me look dead, but still looks very understated. dead. sexy.

I can't pull off the nude lip unless I do a very dramatic eye, which is rare. I'm really all about the flushed-and-rosy look. But when done right, the nude can look very mod and cool!

yes! I'm all about nudity! Okay when it comes to lips, that is. I do love dark and bold and bright lipsticks, but as I get older my lips get thinner so nudie shades are the way to go. 

BIG CONGRATS to NP!!  Getting his line in Nordstrom is fantastic.

I love nude lips but not on me though. I need some pink on my lips, so my nude shades lean towards pink.

I prefer neutral and/or nude lips. It can be difficult to find a nude shade that works and I'm still looking for the perfect one.

I prefer color, I do a nude lip once in a while. I am pale so unless I apply bronzer I can look kinda dead lol  not sexy.

I can't do nude; wish I could. But I do prefer soft colors, nothing too bold 'cause I am super pale.

I love NP! I guess it depends on the shade of nude lips... sometimes nude lips look downright deathly.

LOVE IT but I can never find the right color. The closest i get is dabbing foundation across my lips accidentally and then adding some chapstick. sad.
