Napoleon foundation + powder

As Napoleon Perdis states, “when you’re on a good foundation, stick to it”. . . and that’s exactly what I plan to do with the Napoleon foundation stick.  It gives me perfect coverage and a flawless look without having to continue to apply layers of foundation as I do with other brands. Also, it doesn’t leave an oily residue on my skin which certain other brands do.
 
The camera finish powder is another of my favourites. It doesn’t “cake” my makeup, which I’ve had happen with numerous other brands. I have one camera finish powder in a lighter colour, which matches my skin tone perfectly, and one in a slightly darker colour for when I’ve applied fake tan. 

 

I do think Napoleon is slightly overpriced. For example, the Napoleon camera finish powder retails for approximately AU$58 for 13.5g, yet MAC, as a comparable brand, is 15g and retailing for only AU$48. However, I have not been able to find a foundation that gives me the coverage I want without a cake-y feeling, so I’ll be sticking with Napoleon foundation for a while!
