Hermès Beauty Unveils Limited Edition Collection Inspired by the Allure of Blue
- Nada Armanious
Hermès Beauty is launching an exclusive limited edition collection, uniting Rouge Hermès, Ombres d’Hermès, and Les Mains Hermès under a single narrative for autumn-winter 2024. Inspired by the deep allure of blue and the sensuality of leather, this collection explores the versatile and radiant expressions of blue.
The release begins with a trio of Rouge Hermès lipsticks in shades 03 Beige Glacé, 23 Beige Doblis, and 73 Rouge Nappa, each housed in cases designed by Pierre Hardy, who brought varied blue tones to each piece. Shade 03 Beige Glacé is a bright, sunny beige with hints of copper and pink; 23 Beige Doblis is a dense, reddish hue; and 73 Rouge Nappa offers a muted red with a sheer wine tint. These lipsticks feature an ultra-matte finish that evokes a leather texture, creating a subtle “bitten lip” effect.
The Ombres d’Hermès palette, embossed with the Hermès ex-libris, introduces four new eyeshadows with matte, satin, and shimmer finishes designed by Gregoris Pyrpylis. The 11 Ombres Minerales palette showcases a natural, luminous harmony highlighted by an intense cobalt blue. Each palette includes a large mirror and a lacquered applicator, combining practicality with elegance.
The Les Mains Hermès nail enamels, inspired by Hermès leather colors, complete the collection. Presented in the same packaging as the permanent line, the shades include 81 Bleu Agate, an intense mineral blue, and 83 Vert Bronze, a deep khaki with grey undertones. Made from at least 71% natural ingredients, these shades reflect Hermès’ commitment to quality and sustainability.
As an added touch, Rouge Hermès and Ombres d’Hermès items from this limited edition collection are refillable with any shade from their permanent lines. Available from September 2024, the collection will be sold at select Hermès locations worldwide.
