The Hollywood location of the Napoleon Perdis Flagship, houses both a retail boutique and makeup academy under one roof, is the first full-service cosmetics destination since Max Factor more than 70 years ago. Like his legendary predecessor, the Napoleon Perdis Flagship provides the kind of pampering and personal attention of cosmetics boutiques during Hollywoods 'Golden Age.'

Napoleon Perdis says, "While there were other golden ages of beauty that have faded into memory, we hope to start a new one in this flagship. Our goal is to make it a kind of oasis that will allow women to rediscover those eras and connect them to their modern lives. Hollywood remains the glamour capital of the world - it is the ideal location for our boutique. I want my environment to empower women and their cause."

"As far as design, think Dorothy Draper meets glamour baroque sprinkled with golden age Hollywood. As far as service, think uber luxury, the ultimate beck and call with your makeup artist," says Napoleon.

Boasting boudoirs, a clean colour palette and chic design thematic, Napoleon Perdis boutiques serve as ultimate beauty destinations where women can experiment and play with best sellers such as Auto Pilot Pre-Foundation Skin Primer, Long Black Mascara and Lip Lacquer among others. High-fashion styling pieces including vintage lamps and stools, rugs featuring pure wool from Australia and New Zealand and statement chandeliers hung from a high-gloss, ornate, white baroque ceilings bring Napoleons aesthetic to life.
