Hermès is renowned for its exquisite incorporation of colour and texture, and they did not forget to continue this legacy once they released their beauty line as well. We’ve seen these history-rich traits peer through all their prior launches, but it’s even more so prevalent in their latest Le Regard release.

Following the success of their previous complexion and lip products, Hermès Beauty have now ventured into eye make-up with the introduction of the Le Regard collection. Embodying the vibrant hues and luxurious textures akin to their iconic silk scarves and coveted Birkin bags, the Le Regard features eye shadow palettes, colourful mascaras, and artistic brushes and tools. Having gotten the opportunity to speak to the man behind this coveted collection, here’s make-up artist and creative director of Hermès Beauty, Gregoris Pyrpylis taking us through his creative process and sharing his expert tips about the new line.

What did Hermès Beauty want to achieve with the launch of the latest Le Regard Hermès collection?

My goal is to create collections that will embody and will reflect the rich heritage of the house. Hermès has been so well known for its deep history of colours and beautiful textures for almost two hundred years now, and I’m trying to put all those elements into these small cases. I’m here to enrich and transfer the expertise of the House into the beauty métier that has been here since 2020.

The colour story for each eyeshadow palette is quite different and unique, is there a particular reason why you went with these specific colours for this launch?
