Napoleon Perdis Astro Girl

Napoleon Perdis Curates Makeup Collection Inspired By the Zodiac.

Napoleon Perdis is ushering in a new era of star power- but not the red carpet variety. Launching in February 2010 is 'Astro Girl', a spellbinding makeup collection inspired by astrological colours and celestial style. The line consists of four limited edition Prismatic Eye Shadow Quads, each one embodying the elements of Fire, Earth, Air and Water. Additionally, for the time of the promotion, Napoleon Perdis consultants will customise makeup kits for each client based on the colours associated with their sign. "Wearing you zodiac colours creates vibrations that enhance your life," says Napoleon Perdis, a longtime exponent of astrology, Tarot cards and divinatory knowledge. 'They rejuvenate the spirit."

The four elements- referred to as the Triplicities- play an integral part in astrology. The term triplicities reflects the fact that there are three signs associated with each of the four elements. Fire signs are know to be action-oriented. Earth signs are renowned for their common sense. Air signs boast excellent communication skills, while Water signs are among the most intuitive thinkers of the zodiac. Each of the new Napoleon Perdis shadow quads encapsulates these traits with a tempting array of shades. "Aside from exploring your own triplicity, I advise experimenting with the others," says Perdis. "If you want to be more resolute, try the Fire squad. Or if you want to amp up your perceptive skills, look to the Water quad."

The out-of-this- world shades within each quad can be worn alone or as pairs. A pro-tip on each box explains how to weave together all four shades in a compelling look. The pigment-rich shadow colours have a shimmering luminosity, and can be applied wet or dry. "I always ask people what their sign is," adds Perdis. "It speaks volumes. Now you can also display your zodiac colours with your makeup, and use their strength to add balance to your life, promote tranquility and create a sense of well-being."

Prismatic Eye Shadow Quad: Fire
"Where there's smoke- there's a passionate fire sign!" - Napoleon Perdis
Fire signs are take-charge, self-assured and enthusiastic beings. Out Fire quad celebrates that verve with coppery red for Aries, deep gold for Leo and vivid purple for Sagittarius. Use the pink shade, representing the Moon, to blend of highlight.
Pro Tip: For mercurial eyes, press purple onto the mobile lid, and sweep red lightly through the socket. Then pat gold onto the inner corner of the eye and work pink onto the brow bone. For a celestial glow, dust pink onto the high points of the face- cheekbones, forehead, bridge of the nose and chin- for pale skin tones. Use the gold if you have a medium or dark skin tone.

Prismatic Eye Shadow Quad: Earth
"Practical, dependable and reliable- Earth signs are easy to admire." - Napoleon Perdis
For all their vaunted earthiness, Earth signs also appreciate a little decadence and dazzle. The Earth quad boasts brilliant blue for Taurus, metallic olive for Virgo, and bright jade for Capricorn. Use the coral shade, representing the Sun, to blend or highlight
Pro Tip: For supernatural glamour press olive, jade or blue shade onto the mobile lid and sweep coral through the socket for subtle definition. Also tap coral onto the cheekbones for an instant pick-me-up and onto the lips with clear gloss for an ethereal lips shade.

Prismatic Eye Shadow Quad: Air
"Air signs are chatty, friendly and sociable. What's not to love?"- Napoleon Perdis
The horoscopes' most affable signs are also among the most intellectual. Air types will appreciate this brainy selection of hues. There's vivid yellow for Gemini, salmon pink for Libra and eclectic lilac for Aquarius. Use the gummetal shade, representing the Moon, as a definer.
Pro Tip: For sublime peepers, line with the gummetal shadow, wet or dry, apply pink or lilac to the mobile lid and socket, and finish up with a lick of yellow below the inner corner of the brow.

Prismatic Eye Shadow Quad: Water
"Water signs will make a splash with this riveting quad."- Napoleon Perdis Sensitive, sensual and creative are among the hallmarks of Water, which are brought to life in this edgy quad. There's silvery white for Cancer, deep charcoal for Scorpio and bright turquoise for Pisces. Use the pink shade, representing the Sun, to blend or highlight.
Pro Tip: For dramatic beauty press charcoal onto the mobile lid, and sweet turquoise lightly through the socket. Then pat pink onto the inner corner of the eye and work white onto the brow bone.
