L'Officiel's Beauty Awards 2021: Best Long Wearing Lipstick
A hydrating matte lipstick may seem too good to be true, but Hermès Beauty has proved it entirely possible. Rouge Hermès is more than a lipstick, it’s an object of beauty.
Rouge Hermès
Many are familiar with the transformative power of lipstick; it’s incredible how just one swipe is enough to change your look and lift your spirits entirely. Even if you’re not one for makeup, the small effort of applying lipstick is sufficient to subtly elevate your look for days when you have to leave the house.
With that said, everyone needs a good red lipstick in their lives. Enter Rouge Hermès, a hydrating lipstick with a velvety, powdery finish that is high pigmented and long-lasting. Our favourite shade is Rouge H, an elegant dark red with a hint of brown – the epitome of bold sophistication. The lipstick comes in an elegant case that represents Hermès’ love for beautiful objects.
Artistic director of Hermès Pierre-Alexis Dumas explains that the House’s approach to beauty is simple: To create objects of self-fulfilment that highlight one’s personality. More specifically, “to reveal and highlight what is naturally there, with elegance, comfort and pleasure” and to act as “an intimate companion” to reveal one’s deepest self.
Rouge Hermès retails at $105 and is available at selected Hermès stores.
