I received Lipstick Rose today. It is bright and I seem to have quite a few similar lipsticks already. Was hoping for something more muted based on the website photos. Photo taken in outdoor evening light facing the sunset and with many thanks to all the other posters.
This is quite pretty on you Maedi. I hope you grow to like it!
After reading PF for so many years the lipsticks have inspired my first post! I ordered my 4 lipsticks blind online, so thought others in the same position might find some modelling shots helpful. By way of reference I have fair skin and naturally pinkish lips that make what most people consider “nudes” too brown on me (and make me look like I have the flu!). I was really impressed with the lipsticks. Mine were all Satin, very comfortable to wear, lasted a good 6+ hours without retouch so long as no food was involved - they did not survive my lunchtime sandwich, but no lipstick ever does 
. I agree with whoever said they were similar to the Tom Fords in colour intensity, but I would add I found them slightly more moisturising than TF. The photo’s below are inside, natural morning daylight which is making things look a bit washed out - the Corail Fou and Rouge Casaque are definitely bold pops of colour on the face and quite lovely. The Corail Fou (55) is a bright pink coral (not too much orange) and will be a favourite for spring/summer, the Rouge Casaque satin (64) is a neutral red (leaning very slightly to a blue red on me). Rose Encens (18) is a pink/brownish neutral on me. It’s about as brown as I can go and still look ok - I will wear it, but its my least favourite of the bunch as I was hoping for an everyday workhorse and its not quite that flattering to my skin . Finally Violet Intense (94) is not purple on, rather a very deep raspberry/ fushia with great staying power. You could get a much more subtle look applying with brush rather than my usual quick swipe from the tube as I rush out the door! Finally I am very impressed how easy it is to remove the lipstick from the tube - will definitely be swapping my favourites into the pretty limited edition tube cases. The photos, in order. 1. Natural lip. 2. Rose Encens. 3 Corail Fou. 4 Rouge Casaque satin 5 Violet Insense.

You picked some amazing colors for you, and I can relate to looking like I have the flu if I wear a nude lip color!After reading PF for so many years the lipsticks have inspired my first post!

I also have a strong sense of smell and am sensitive to many, many scents that don't bother others. Over the years, I have had to forgo many scented products.
Most lipsticks do not bother me, but the scent of these Hermes lipsticks absolutely does. I love everything else about the lipsticks but not sure I can get over the scent. It really does bother me.
I bought these 2 as well and loving Encens. Is Bois simply the matte counterpart? I am hesitant to try Bois yet because I don’t want identical colors.

All the colors are very flattering on you! Nice choices!!
Well done! Thanks for the photos. Looks like you chose well, and have some nice variety.After reading PF for so many years the lipsticks have inspired my first post!

This is the color I ordered. I am afraid of it being too bright. But I think it looks lovely on you!
Boisé is a bit more rosy, but not by much. They are very similar on. For me, it works because sometimes I want a matte lip and other times a satin, so I like having a similar neutral in both formulations. If you are just looking at colors. I don’t think I would get both of these.
Here is my first pop of colour, Rose Dakar. I’m just about to go whippet walking so I’ll post Rouge H mat tomorrow. It as as usual a dark grey day in the UK. I’m loving this pop of colour, I think it is going to look wonderful in sunshine. I can’t wear nudes, I look as though I’m death warmed up ready for the morgue in a pale nude. I need to choose a red next. Please excuse my old lips and skin, I’m becoming an old bird, such is life. Enjoy.

These look beautiful on you, great choices! I bought the Beige Kalahari and it looks like the flu on me - great reference LOL.
I just bought the Rose Encens and it will arrive tomorrow so I'm hoping that's better. I also have the Rogue Casaque but in Mat and adore it.
