CROWDS flocked outside the Napoleon Perdis store in Westfield Fountain Gate this morning to grab a polaroid photo and a kiss on the cheek from Mr Perdis himself.
“My customer is my empress and I’m excited to meet some of our most loyal fans,” he said.
Perfectly primped from head to toe and dressed in a pop of orange, Napoleon Perdis air kissed each fan on the cheek and posed for several photos before insisting his fans get a free cosmetic touch up from his trained staff.
With his iconic black and white striped walls and mirrors lit up by light bulbs the store was buzzing with females of all ages.
Customers were invited to book a 60-minute ‘Makeup Shakeup’ lesson with Napoleon beauty experts and receive an exclusive gift set.
Mr Perdis revealed some classic mistakes we all make when applying.
“All young girls should book in for a makeup lesson,” he said and advised his younger followers not to listen to YouTube makeup tutorials.
“Young girls need to make sure they’re not over applying with heavy foundation,” he said, and suggested mascara and concealer as a must wear for women over 50-years-old.
With 73 concept stores throughout Australia and New Zealand fans and shoppers at Westfield Fountain Gate were treated to a meet and greet experience with the makeup magnate.
Kayla Byrne from Mooroolbark graduated from Napoleon’s nine-week makeup course and said she was very excited to meet the man who created the beauty products she adores.
“I absolutely loved the course and am obsessed with all the products,” she said.
