The Creation:: Created by Gregoris Pyrpylis, Creative Director of Hermès Beauty, the Trait d’Hermès collection of color 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 Color:
These 16 emblematic, surprising, and timeless colors 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 color. 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 colored 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. *Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes – Protecting the environmental balance of forests The Gesture:
The color 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.
