Hermès Beauty’s eye and lip pencils invite playfulness with colour and texture

Hermès Beauty’s creative director Gregoris Pyrpylis has added to the ‘Trait d’Hermès’ collection with a set of eye and lip liners in kaleidoscopic colours.

It’s been two years since Hermès Beauty welcomed Greek make-up artist Gregoris Pyrpylis as its creative director. ‘Hermès Beauty is part of who we are: a house where everything comes from creation, driven by artisans who seek to accompany the men and women of today with elegance, and with the integrity and authenticity that we represent,’ CEO Axel Dumas said to mark its first launch, a range of 24 matte and satin lipsticks scented with a fragrance by Christine Nagel, that were everything one might expect from an Hermès beauty product, and more.

From the get-go, it was abundantly clear that the beauty line would be an expansive celebration of craft and colour; from the Pierre Hardy-designed refillable tubes to the bullets themselves, the lipsticks drew upon the 75,000 shades of silk and 900 tones of leather in the house archive. And each subsequent product category, from lip oils to nail polishes, has demonstrated this in a way that only Hermès could.

The latest in the ‘Trait d’Hermès’ eye collection, is perhaps the most playful offering yet: 40 eye and lip pencils (plus a liquid liner) that riff on the nostalgic feeling of receiving a new set of stationary at the start of a school year.
