FAQs

How do I achieve a precise lip line with this pencil?

Ensure the pencil tip is sharpened to a fine point. Hold the pencil at a slight angle and use short, deliberate strokes to trace your lip contour.

Can I use this pencil to overline my lips?

Yes, the creamy texture and blendable nature of the pencil make it suitable for carefully overlining lips to create the illusion of fuller volume.

What is the best way to create a blended or ombré effect?

After lining or filling your lips, use the built-in smudger or a lip brush to gently blur the edges. For an ombré effect, apply a darker shade to the outer edges and a lighter shade or balm to the center, then blend.

How long does the color typically last?

The formula is designed for long wear, offering significant hold. However, wear time can vary based on eating, drinking, and other activities.

Is this pencil suitable for dry lips?

The formula is creamy and comfortable. While it provides a matte finish, it is formulated to be non-drying. Applying a lip balm beforehand can add extra moisture if needed.

How many shades are available in the Trait d'Hermès collection?

There are 16 emblematic colors available in the Trait d'Hermès collection, designed to match the Rouge Hermès lipstick shades.

What does the design of the pencil represent?

The pencil's design, with its black and white lacquer and brushed metal, is inspired by the obstacle bars used in show-jumping competitions, reflecting Hermès' equestrian heritage.

Troubleshooting

Pencil is not gliding smoothly.

Ensure the pencil tip is adequately sharpened. If the tip is dull or has built-up product, it may not apply smoothly. Clean the tip with a cosmetic sharpener.

Color seems less intense than expected.

Apply multiple layers to build up color intensity. For a bolder look, use the pencil to fill in the entire lip as a base before applying lipstick.

Smudger is difficult to clean.

Gently wipe the smudger with a dry tissue. For deeper cleaning, use a cotton swab lightly dampened with water or a gentle makeup remover, then allow it to air dry completely.

Pencil breaks easily when sharpening.

Use a sharp, high-quality cosmetic sharpener designed for wooden pencils. Sharpen gently and avoid applying too much pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The Hermès Trait d'Hermès Lip Pencil requires no setup; it is ready for immediate use upon purchase. Ensure the cap is securely replaced after each use to maintain the formula's integrity and prevent drying.

Compatibility: This lip pencil is designed to be compatible with all lip types and can be worn alone or layered with any Rouge Hermès lipstick or balm. The 16 available shades are curated to complement the entire Rouge Hermès collection.

Care: To maintain the pencil's performance, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The pencil is made of wood and requires sharpening. Use a high-quality cosmetic sharpener to maintain a fine point for precise application. Clean the built-in smudger periodically with a tissue or a dedicated brush cleaner if it becomes soiled. Avoid excessive moisture, which can affect the wood casing.
