I received the Plein Air Complexion Balm in Coquillage and the Radiant Matte powder from Selfridge's earlier this week. I don't believe they are available in the US yet. I have tried both and am very happy with them, so wanted to share my thoughts.

Complexion balm: I bought the shade Coquillage, which is an almost perfect match for me. For reference, I'm fair with freckles and a neutral to slightly cool undertone - MAC NW15, Chanel BR12. I tried to take a couple of photos in natural light to show me wearing the balm, and my skintone, in case that helps anyone (and I apologize in advance for my awful selfies). :lol: The picture with sunglasses on is a more accurate skintone depiction as it was in natural light. The texture is a thick cream, and reminds me of It Cosmetics CC+ or the Kiehl's Correcting & Beautifying BB cream from a couple of years ago. I applied the balm with a dense synthetic brush (Marc Jacobs Face II) and it blended in easily. A little goes a long way - I only needed a pea-sized amount for my entire face, and I ended up with a sheer-light coverage and a satin-matte finish - very skin-like and natural. I did build it slightly on the center of my face. I used it in place of a foundation and applied my concealer, powder, eye makeup, blush, bronzer etc. on top of it. It wore nicely through an 8+ hour workday. Overall, I'm very happy with it and glad I bought it.

Radiant matte powder: I used this to lightly set my face. It worked well, was pretty invisible, but did a nice job mattifying and blurring. Also very pleased with it, and glad I purchased.

I was really hoping for the Complexion balm but looking at the INCI I realized that this is not for me. It may look and feel nice but I was hoping for something else, something without for example cyclic silicones. I am honestly very disappointed.

Really ? Cyclic silicones? I thought they weren’t allowed in EU products…

They are quite prolific. Even La Prairie adopted them for their skin caviar line… those silicones ending in -xane are also bad for my skin. One of the reasons I didn‘t try the balm. Maybe other complexion products to come have different INCIs. But I do have to admit that my skin is fickle with some ingredients. Most should have no problems. But since it took me years to figure out what bothers my skin, I‘m diligent in avoiding these ingredients. Old school silicones like dimethicone is fine though.

Could that be why my skin feels a bit itchy after wearing the balm for a couple of hours?
I know nothing about these things!:facepalm:
Too bad my skin doesn’t seem to quite get along with the formula of the balm, bc I found a shade that actually looks pretty good on me:doh:

For example cyclopentasiloxane is in this product. Some companies have removed all products with this ingredient from their shelves so I find it strange that H included it.

Exactly. This is really aggravating my skin no matter the company and other INCIs. I was equally surprised and sad to find it in the H balm. I know most people have no problems with it at all, but it causes havoc for me. Still, it’s considered a newer silicone, maybe this is why they included it.

Thank you for this information. I have sensitive skin and am wondering if the H lipstick or lip balm is causing problems.

I have very sensitive skin and have been unable to use any Hermès skincare or make-up except for the hand cream. I loved my Rose zinzolin and Rouge Casaque lipsticks as they were absolutely perfect for my skin tone, but no longer war them due to massive allergic reactions. :crybaby: I agree with the above posters that most individuals will have no problems at all, but if you do have sensitive skin read the labels carefully to be sure you won’t have any irritations. It’s a shame for me as the lipsticks are amazing !
