The creation: Created by Gregoris Pyrpylis, Creative Director of Hermès Beauty, the Trait d’Hermès collection of colour pencils offers a wide range of expressive possibilities for the lips. The easy-to-apply, long-wear pencils can be used to delineate, define and enhance the lip contour or naturally shade the lips.
The colour: These 16 emblematic, surprising and timeless colours are designed to match all the shades in the Rouge Hermès collection perfectly.
The product: Creamy and comfortable, the matte-finish pencil glides onto the lips in a single stroke. The line may be precise or blended.
The formula: The formula delivers intense, long-wear colour.
The object: Designed by Pierre Hardy, the pencil is inspired by the obstacle bars used in show-jumping competitions, with its black and white lacquer and brushed metal. Like the coloured pencils we remember from childhood, it is made of wood – sourced from PEFC-certified* forests – and has a built-in smudger. Its brushed metal cap is adorned with the house’s emblematic H.
The gesture: The colour can be applied in a single stroke, to delineate, define and enhance the contours of the lips, or to color them. The pencil is ideal for creating a tone-on-tone or contrasting look, for an ombré effect when combined with a balm or an Hermèsistible, or to prolong the hold of a Rouge Hermès lipstick.
