FAQs

What makes this eye pencil different from others?

The Hermès Trait d'Hermès pencil offers a unique combination of a firm point with a creamy texture, intense matte pigments, and a design inspired by equestrian elements, including a built-in smudger. It's also formulated for sensitive eyes and uses PEFC-certified wood.

Can I use this pencil on my waterline?

Yes, the formula is ophthalmologically tested and suitable for sensitive eyes, making it safe for application on the eyelids and waterline.

What is the 'smudger' for?

The built-in smudger is used to blend and soften the applied color, allowing you to create gradient effects, smoky eyes, or a diffused line rather than a sharp one.

How do I sharpen this pencil?

This pencil requires a specific sharpener designed for its wooden casing. Using a standard sharpener may damage the pencil or not sharpen it correctly.

What does 'PEFC-certified' mean for the wood?

PEFC certification (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes) indicates that the wood used in the pencil casing comes from sustainably managed forests, promoting environmental balance.

How long does the color last?

The highly pigmented formula is designed for long wear, providing an even line that maintains its intensity throughout the day.

Is this pencil suitable for beginners?

Yes, the creamy texture and built-in smudger make it versatile for both precise application and easy blending, which can be helpful for beginners learning different techniques.

Troubleshooting

Pencil not sharp enough for precise lines

Ensure you are using the Hermès-specific pencil sharpener designed for this casing. If the smudger end is dirty, clean it as per care instructions.

Color application is patchy or uneven

Apply to clean, dry eyelids. If you have very oily lids, consider using a primer underneath. Ensure the pencil tip is adequately sharpened and apply with light, consistent pressure.

Smudger is difficult to use or clean

Allow the smudger to dry completely after cleaning. For best results when smudging, apply color and blend immediately before it sets. Use a gentle touch to avoid damaging the tip.

Formula feels dry on application

Ensure the pencil is properly sharpened to expose a fresh layer of the creamy formula. Store with the cap tightly closed to prevent drying. If the issue persists, the pencil may be old or exposed to air for too long.

Care:

  • Sharpening: To maintain the precision of the point, use the dedicated Hermès pencil sharpener. Regular sharpening ensures optimal application.

  • Storage: Store the pencil with its cap securely fastened in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the formula and prevent drying out.
  • Removal: Use your preferred eye makeup remover to gently remove the color at the end of the day.
