FAQs

What is the inspiration behind the pencil's design?

The design is inspired by the obstacle bars used in show-jumping competitions, featuring a black and white lacquer and brushed metal finish.

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

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

Can this lip pencil be used alone?

Yes, it can be used alone to define and color the lips, or as a base to enhance lipstick wear and color intensity.

What is the finish of the lip pencil?

The lip pencil provides a creamy, comfortable matte finish.

Does the pencil require sharpening?

Yes, as it is a wooden pencil, it requires sharpening with a cosmetic sharpener to maintain its point.

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

PEFC-certified means the wood used for the pencil comes from sustainably managed forests, supporting environmental balance.

How can I achieve an ombré effect with this pencil?

You can achieve an ombré effect by using a darker shade on the outer edges and a lighter shade towards the center of the lips, then blending with the built-in smudger or a brush.

Troubleshooting

Pencil tip breaks during sharpening

Ensure you are using a sharp, high-quality cosmetic sharpener designed for wooden pencils. Sharpen slowly and gently.

Color appears less intense than expected

Apply the pencil directly to clean, moisturized lips. For deeper color, build intensity with a second layer or use as a base for a lipstick.

Difficulty in application or skipping

Ensure lips are properly prepped and moisturized. If the pencil feels dry, it may need gentle warming by swatching on the back of your hand before application.

Smudger is dirty

The smudger is not designed to be cleaned. For hygienic reasons, it is best to use a separate blending tool if a clean smudger is required.
