Hermès Beauty Unveils A Symphony of Blue and Leather for FW24

Emma Hodgson   |   13-11-2024

For the autumn-winter season, Hermès Beauty has launched a limited-edition collection that seamlessly blends the ethereal hues of blue with the tactile allure of leather.

This marks a first for Hermès Beauty, uniting the brand’s signature lines—Rouge Hermès, Ombres d’Hermès, and Les Mains Hermès—into a single, cohesive story. This collection celebrates contrasts: warm and cool, tangible and intangible, all inspired by the shifting colours of a summer sky as it transitions to the crisp light of winter.

The central motif of the collection is blue, represented in shades from oceanic depths to stormy skies. Each piece in the collection carries this colour inspiration forward, complemented by the luxury of Hermès craftsmanship. The collection features three new shades of Rouge Hermès lipsticks, a refined Ombres d’Hermès eyeshadow palette, and a duo of Les Mains Hermès nail enamels, all designed to capture the interplay of light and texture.

Hermès has introduced three limited-edition Rouge Hermès lipsticks, each showcasing designer Pierre Hardy’s unique tri-colour cases in Bleu Lagon, Bleu Abysse, and Bleu Tempête. This season’s ultra-matte finishes evoke the velvety touch of leather, providing a sensory, luxurious experience. The shades include:

03 Beige Glacé: A pearlescent beige with hints of copper and pink.
23 Beige Doblis: A rich, clay-red tone that adds warmth to any look.
73 Rouge Nappa: A burgundy-tinted red that creates a sophisticated, sheer veil on the lips.

Creative Director Gregoris Pyrpylis describes this range as a crescendo of intensity, guiding the wearer from the golden warmth of fall to the gentle, cool embrace of winter.

The Ombres d’Hermès palette arrives in a white and gold case, carefully designed by Pierre Hardy, and features a quartet of shadows inspired by natural mineral tones. Within, shades of cobalt blue, soft khaki, sun-kissed brown, and luminous gold reflect the depth and mystery of the ocean. This palette invites the wearer to explore a multi-dimensional approach to eye makeup, embodying Pyrpylis’s vision of blue as a colour that adds profound depth to the eyes.

Rounding out the collection, the Les Mains Hermès nail enamels echo the mineral tones found in Hermès leather. Two sophisticated shades—81 Bleu Agate, a deep, stormy blue, and 83 Vert Bronze, a khaki-green with grey undertones—offer a refined finishing touch, suitable for day or evening wear.
