Hermes Skincare & Makeup

[Kitsune711]

I also ordered it for the case and was very apprehensive about actually using the color. The color ended up being a very pleasant surprise. I have medium toned skin with yellow undertones. I like it over a layer of balm/gloss - leaves a pretty sheer magenta tint, very wearable! It’s gorgeous on its own as well.

I think you and I have similar skin tones! Thanks a ton for the review!!!

Lovely! I am a twin with one of yours and look forward to buying a R Encens R Epice in my future.

Agreed. The world has turned upside-down.

Paper!!
So pleased to be your twin - we may have similar coloring - I can’t do flat beige at all either - makes me look like I’m absolutely dead -
But feeling grateful for my pink quatro team H . Going to throw out my old lippies and start fresh with these-
It’s a whole new world out there —so why not?

Will all the boutiques have testers after they reopen? Really tempted but I need to test the colors out as I’ve got a lot of natural pigment in my lips already so lip colors are tough.

I'm thinking that Hermes will likely take the appropriate steps with the utmost focus on hygiene.
When I purchased my lippies I was given several samples of shades I was interested in trying
They came in little square swatch cards with a "small pot" of the color..
I will also say that the colors "read" very differently so they do need to be seen up close.
What shades are you interested in as perhaps I can offer an opinion...

Yes, they have testers you can take away.

All these gorgeous lipsticks. With the use of masks in most places now, does anyone get to use them anywhere besides home?

Some us are having to face using virtual link-ups daily so actually quite handy to have anything that brings some brightness and/or colour

I think I look OK until I look into my pic on the screen, never mind lipstick, I need some some serious filters.

So glad maybe I can be helpful.
For me it’s the Rose Boise, which is almost the true color is my lips - but it’s a matte formulation.
However the Encens is satin gloss so more sheer, and maybe more nude in that way. Perhaps it will be a function of your sisters coloring?
What a lovely thoughtful gift - a bit of luxury - but something she can use every day. Perhaps you could ask her if she likes matte or satin? Or would that give away the surprise?

This was very helpful, as I perseverate about which to get when I can eventually actually try them!! I'm ;liking the Beige Natural ((although as I'm at work all the time with a mask, haven't used it except for once!- hence, my waiting on another)
Papertiger- excellent point about people needing it for Zoom meetings, etc.- a great example of "when its off my radar, it doesn't exist" You taught me something- thanks.

Late to the party but honestly just getting the chance to photo my lipsticks all together - bought just days before NYC completely shut down- my life has been upside down since then. Feel lucky to have at least been at Madison H for the launch and all the excitement in the store. Nothing that hasn’t already been shared here, I know .....
But these are my 4 pink selections

Thanks! Very helpful.

I'm wearing MORE lipstick now, with Zoom meetings and meetups all the time.

I’m thinking rose epice or rose encens. One of my favorite shades is Mac mehr and my go to right now is fenty lip paint in uncuffed so those are the family of shades that work for me. Thanks!

I get dressed and ready even if I have no where to go. This situation will take a good while and would not want to forget how to dress! Make -up has always been minimal for me, but a touch of colour is uplifting. At the very least I enjoy wearing the conditioning/moisturising lipgloss.

Rose Boise might be another that could work for you..
Do you prefer a matte or satin finish?

Not to forget, the mattes are not so matte
