Applying Hermes' fresh lipstick is similar to the soft touch of a silk scarf.
Hermès Introduces the Luminous Rouge Brillant Silky Lipstick Collection
Hermès Beauty has unveiled its latest offering – the Rouge Brillant Silky lipstick collection. This new range, inspired by the luster and ethereal beauty of Hermès silk, brings together skincare benefits and a luminous color finish in a hybrid formula [1][2][3][5].
Creative director Gregoris Pyrpylis has crafted a collection that embodies the essence of Hermès silk, both visually and texturally. The lipsticks are infused with natural ingredients such as Abyssinian oil, sesame seed extract, raspberry leaf extract, and Morus Alba (white mulberry), providing hydration and nourishment for the lips [4].
The Rouge Brillant Silky lipsticks offer a sheer but buildable veil of color, reminiscent of silk's glow. A single swipe provides a lightweight layer, while multiple layers can build up intensity [1]. The lipsticks are sensual, revealing, enhancing, elegant, comfortable, and pleasurable, as stated by artistic director Pierre-Alexis Dumas [6].
The design of the Rouge Brillant Silky cases is aesthetically striking and ergonomic, thanks to the collaboration with Pierre Hardy. The slender shape of the case aids in the application gesture, while the slanted bullet facilitates application and is not flat or unnatural to hold [1][3].
Inspiration for the design of the limited edition cases comes from artists who explore the interaction of color with light, such as James Turrell. The design of the canvas pouch, inspired by the 100th anniversary of Rouge H, a distinctive color for Hermès, adds to the collection's overall aesthetic appeal [7].
Pairing a Rouge Brillant Silky lipstick with a corresponding lipstick from the Rouge Hermès collection can create a lacquered finish. The textures of the lipsticks are inspired by suede and calfskin leather, adding to the luxurious feel of the product [1].
The Rouge Brillant Silky collection does not adhere to traditional application rules and can be applied in multiple ways, offering users a unique and personalized experience [8]. The next launch from Hermès Beauty is scheduled for September 2025, promising a surprising addition to the brand [9].
The first collection, Rouge Hermès, consisted of matte and satin lipsticks with colors extracted from Hermès' archive. The Rouge Brillant Silky collection continues this tradition of excellence, offering a modern take on Hermès' signature lipstick range [7].
