Trait d'Hermès, Eye Color Pencil

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 a sophisticated result.

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

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

THE FORMULA
Combining highly sensory qualities and intense pigments, the formula is suitable even for sensitive eyes, and is applied to the eyelids and waterline.

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 coloured 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.

THE GESTURE
The color is applied in a single gesture, to define, highlight, open up and intensify the gaze. Using the pencil’s smudger or the L’estompeur de précision brush, you can create a wide range of make-up results, from thin to thick, graphic and clean to soft and blended lines on the eyelid and along the waterline.
