Miranda Kerr / Napoleon Perdis Tutorial


My very first celebrity-inspired tutorial... and inspired by a look from a celebrity makeup artist!!
This is a look that Napoleon Perdis did on Miranda Kerr for David Jones' Spring/Summer 2012 Beauty Book.

This is the cover of the Beauty Book, so you can see how I took inspiration from it!
