Embracing the essence of blue and leather, Hermès Beauty’s latest collection brings together lipsticks, eyeshadows and nail enamels for the first time.
The Autumn and Winter 2024 Limited Edition Collection from Hermès Beauty brings together Rouge Hermès lipsticks, Ombres d’Hermès eyeshadows and Les Mains Hermès nail enamels, unified by a striking theme of blue and leather-inspired hues. This marks the first time the brand has interwoven these product lines into a single story, capturing the mood of late autumn transitioning to winter through a sensory exploration of intense, varied blues.
The Rouge Hermès lipstick trio, designed by Pierre Hardy, features cases in subtle natural and botanical colours, each accented by a distinct shade of blue – Bleu Lagon, Bleu Abysse or Bleu Tempête. This season’s collection also introduces an ultra-matte finish, lending a leather-like texture to the lipsticks. The shades range from Beige Glacé, a soft, coppery beige, to Beige Doblis, a warm, clay-inspired tone and Rouge Nappa, a red that leaves a delicate, sheer tint. Creative Director Gregoris Pyrpylis explains that the varied finishes of transparent, matte and sheer matte are intended to create different intensities for a versatile transition between seasons.
For the eyes, the Ombres d’Hermès palette combines matte, satin and shimmer eyeshadows in a refined permabrass (a gold-coloured metal that has a matte finish) case with the emblematic design of Hermès ex-libris. The palette, named Ombres Minérales, includes a striking cobalt blue alongside soft khaki and sun-kissed brown with a glimmer of gold. This composition draws on the depths of the ocean and natural earth tones, aligning with the brand’s signature materials and colours.
Les Mains Hermès nail enamels come in two shades: Bleu Agate, a deep, mineral blue, and Vert Bronze, a muted khaki. Both shades are inspired by the maison’s leather colours and are crafted with a formula of 71% natural ingredients.
The lipsticks and eyeshadows are refillable with any other colours from their respective permanent collections.
