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 eyes. The pencils can be used to draw a precise or smudged line of color on the eyelids, for a natural or sophisticated result.

THE COLOR

These emblematic, surprising and timeless colors are a nod to the Hermès store at 24, Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris.

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"".

 • Combining a firm point with a creamy texture, the eye pencil offers a matte finish. Easy to apply, it draws an even line in a single gesture for a precise or smudged look.

 • Combining highly sensory qualities and intense pigments, the formula is suitable for application to the eyelids and waterline of even sensitive eyes.

 • Made in Germany.

Beige Trompe-l’œil is a natural beige that blends with the waterline and opens up the gaze.

Or Permabrass is the line of golden light on the ex-libris, the seal of Hermès beauty.

Beige Cuir is a soft, natural beige, elegant and luminous.

Mordoré is a powerful gold with a touch of brown.

Brun Sanguine is a red tinged with ochre.

Marron Glacé is the soft, gentle color of a chestnut enveloped in a golden glaze.

Bronze is a greenish brown with metallic, yellow-tinged highlights.

Brun Écorce is a warm, dark brown with a hint of magenta.

Brun Bistre is the deep brown signature shade on the orange box.

Bleu Nuit is a twilight blue, deep and shadowy with pearlescent highlights.

Gris Graphite is a luminous grey that recalls the color drawn on paper by a pencil.

Noir Fusain is a dense, deep black that evokes a charcoal line.
