I did think Plume should be lighter than Pommette which is why I was a bit surprised. They both look really lovely though.
I do think I made a mistake with Rose Ombre as I'm NW15. Hoping I can make it work with a light brush.

I‘m NC20 at the moment for your orientation. My SA has a red/cool undertone and she wore Ombré which brought out the redness of her skin but she is darker than 15, more around 30 I would say. I could imagine it looking lovely on lighter skin, a quite universal tone. I am not sure about the return policies where you are located, but over here we can’t return used makeup. I basically also purchased blind in store as we‘re not allowed to swatch or try on. If one of them won’t work for me, I’ll probably try topping it up with a very light rosy blush or a pink-toned highlighter. That usually does the trick for me. Hope you can make Ombré work for you!

I did same for similar reasons and am also questioning my decision.

They discription does say: A subtle, celestial pink in chiaroscuro, between shade and color.

Let´s hope it works for both of us!

Not even sure why I had to buy it online as I could have visited the store on Monday, I think I momentarily forgot that stores are open again :hrmm:

I don't like the idea of returning used makeup. Also, I'm in Europe so that is a definite no. I actually wrote to Hermes costumer service to ask if I could change the order to Plume, so I might get lucky as they haven't shippied it yet. If not, it might still work for me in the summer. I saw some pics on insta where it looked less dark but as you say, still a plum undertone.
I also ordered the tinted lip balm in Rose Tan, looks so lovely!

Same here, I wanted Rose Ombré for the undertone but went with Plume instead, as it looks like the lightest. I also liked Pomette and Rose Blush from the pictures but didn‘t dare order those for the same reason. I need more pictures or swatches first, I guess. And then I also got the travel brush - too cute to pass and very reasonably priced.

Yes, Pommette and Blush looks lovely too.
And I already regret not getting a brush, they are so pretty!

I‘ll post my impression of the two brushes. I have lots of Suqqu brushes, so Hermès is up against steep competition. I‘m really interested to see how the brushes are. The lip brush at least is very well made and looks just like when I got it in March 2020, and while I clean them everyday, I don‘t baby my brushes.

Le sigh. But when I tried to show pictures to my husband he found about 300 reasons why bags need to be able to carry actual stuff. Not mini brushes and a small blush case, but, according to his understanding and my smallest bag, keys, phone and if not a wallet, at least a Calvi. I hate when he’s right.I’m not the kind of person to cart blush (or anything but lipstick) around anyway. But I would love to see it in action on some of you ladies. The color is perfect for the style of the bag.

FedEx just brought the full size brush and the Rose Tan Lip Enhancer. Have to finish wrangling with DD about home schooling and then I‘ll unwrap everything. Sadly, I will have to wait for the blush till Monday because I was still so undecided when I ordered the above

Suqqu & Chikuhodo are the premier brushes & agree there is stiff competition there.
I also have the H lip brush but I prefer the others & I have the Z series from Chikuhudo
& a special series that was done a number of years ago & they will likely outlive me.. LOL
