L’estompeur de précision Eye Makeup Brush

The Object: L’Estompeur de Précision is an eye makeup brush designed by Gregoris Pyrpylis, Creative Director of Hermès Beauty. It smudges colour across the eyelid and highlights the lash line, for a precise yet soft effect. Its three-tone lacquered wooden handle is easy to grip. The mixed synthetic and goat hair fibres are assembled by hand by a French brushmaker.

The Gesture: The round-tipped brush is perfect for the targeted application of colour. It is ideal for blending an eye pencil line, smudging the product outwards to elongate the shape of the eye. The brush can also be used to intensify a line of powder from the Ombres d’Hermès quartet of eyeshadows on the lower or upper lash line, creating a smoky effect. Lastly, it can also be used to add a touch of light to the inner corner of the eye.

Les Pinceaux Hermès: Designed by Pierre Hardy, Les Pinceaux Hermès form a collection in their own right, including brushes for the complexion, the eyes, and the lips. Each is protected by an orange box—a signature of the house.
