Business of beauty: First look at Hermès make-up
First look at Hermès make-up – and it’s very covetable.
Back in March 2019, Hermès announced it would be launching beauty this year. By some sort of spooky telepathy, I happened to email the PR yesterday to check in on the launch date.

They will be lightly fragranced with a custom blended scent created by Hermès perfumer, Christine Nagel.
I’m loving the traditional-meets-modern vibe. On the one hand it’s a classic bullet lipstick, not an ‘ink’, oil, or liquid. On the other, it’s an eco-conscious refillable concept in the vein of La Bouche Rouge (more…)
