Hermès Beauty is taking you to the Far North for its limited-edition autumn-winter 2026 collection. Drawing from icy landscapes, crystalline light and the unexpected warmth of colourful homes dotting the frozen terrain, the maison’s latest makeup launch transforms this striking contrast into three wearable lip colours.
Creative director Gregoris Pyrpylis describes the collection as one inspired by “the deep cold and unique light of the Far North”. The result is a trio of lippies that balance cool, expansive landscapes with unexpected bursts of colour. Each brings warmth and vibrancy, as well as a touch of Nordic charm to the lip.
The collectible, refillable tubes designed by Pierre Hardy also draw on the raw beauty of Arctic landscapes. Featuring vibrant blocks of blue, red, pink, yellow and green against a crisp white backdrop, each wears a jagged, torn-paper-inspired design that echoes snow-covered glaciers. More than just another lipstick case, it is a miniature work of art designed to be cherished and reused.
That sense of artistry carries through to the shades as well. Firstly, the Rose Hermès Rosy Lip Shine Enhancer in 38 Rouge Airelle is a sheer berry-red shade with pink undertones. The tinted lip balm doesn’t just deliver a charming ‘bitten lip’ effect. Infused with white mulberry extract, sesame and raspberry seed oils, the balm-meets-colour formula leaves lips feeling nourished too.
If you prefer a classic statement lip, then the Rouge Hermès Matte Lipstick in 83 Rouge Scandinave is for you. Inspired by the painted wooden houses of Scandinavia, the richly pigmented Nordic red offers a velvety finish. Completing the collection is the Rouge Hermès Satin Lipstick in 21 Rouge Épicé. The signature pink with subtle terracotta undertones simultaneously imparts luminous colour and all-day comfort.
Priced at SGD134 each, the Hermès Beauty autumn-winter 2026 limited-edition collection launches on 24 August 2026. Luckily, there’s no need to travel to the Far North, because they’ll be available at all Hermès boutiques and online.
