Napoleon Perdis – Swan Lake Prismatic Eye Quad
Recently I popped past the Napoleon Perdis store in Sydney Westfield and picked up Napoleon’s new ballet themed Swan Lake Prismatic Eye Quad, figuring that although I have the physique of about eight ballerinas rolled together, at least I could look as polished as a classical dancer.
Nah, not really. I just needed a new eye look for work and this palette of cool smoky neutrals fit the bill nicely.
Napoleon Perdis – Swan Lake Prismatic Eye Quad
There are four shades in the Swan Lake Prismatic Eye Quad. Applied on dry skin without primer:
- icy beige with very subtle pearl
- matte mushroom
- deep dirty taupe with pearl
- charcoal black
Swan Lake eotd – soft daytime EOTD
This soft daytime EOTD was taken on a day when I was super tired and worn out, so I upped the shimmer factor by using a pearly golden eye primer and focusing on lighter shadows.
- Too Faced Shadow Insurance in Candlelight from lashline to brow.
- Swan Lake Prismatic Eye Quad shade 1 (icy beige) from lashline to brow, letting the intensity fade off towards the brow.
- Shade 2 (matte mushroom) very sheerly on the outside corner of the lid and along the lower lashline.
- Black liner and mascara to finish.
Swan Lake eotd – charcoal EOTD
This is a basic two minute twist on a smoky eye. I don’t have a lot of lid space and I’m not a fan of blending colour high over my deep eye crease, so I prefer to focus all the colour on my mobile lid and keep the space towards my brow very neutral.
- Too Faced Shadow Insurance from lashline to brow.
- Swan Lake Prismatic Eye Quad shade 1 (icy beige) from crease to brow, letting the intensity fade off towards the brow.
- Shade 3 (dirty taupe shimmer) across the mobile lid, keeping the colour very bold and dynamic.
- Shade 2 (matte mushroom) blended sheerly close to the crease, focusing on the outside corner of the eye.
- Shade 4 (charcoal black) blended into the outside corner of the mobile lid.
- Black liner and mascara to finish.
