Hermès expands make-up offer with launch of first foundation
Foundation is the latest addition to Hermès’ Plein Air complexion collection. The product comes in a partially frosted glass flacon topped with a lacquered metal cap.
After introducing its first complexion products back in 2022 with the launch of Plein Air, luxury maison Hermès launched foundation in January 2026. Composed of 71% ingredients of natural origin, the foundation features an 82% skincare base, and promises to smooth skin thanks to a trio of actives: niacinamide to nourish and improve the quality of the skin, hyaluronic acid for intense hydration and white mulberry extract for its antioxidant and plumping effects.
Pierre Hardy, Designer of Hermès Beauty objects, conceived packaging that combines glass and metal. The flacon made of partially frosted glass has a round, lacquered metal cap in black and white topped with the brand’s ex-libris in gold permabrass. The black metal pump is engraved with the words “Hermès Paris”. The foundation comes in 34 shades and retails at €125 for 33ml.
