Have you ever wondered what makeup products would really look best on you? While there's certainly nothing wrong with experimenting with colors and products by yourself or hitting up one of the cosmetics counters at the department store, sometimes it's nice to have that extra bit of advice.

If you're in the Los Angeles area, you can get a one-on-one consultation with makeup guru Napoleon Perdis. The cost is $100 but it's redeemable on Napoleon Perdis products you buy that day. You also get a limited-edition gift worth $130 (which makes the price seem not-so-bad).
