WHAT IT IS: A precious powder compressed to give a distinctive chiseled, engraved and polished appearance. Inspired by the goldsmiths' know-how.
WHAT IT DOES: The fine, melting texture with metallic reflectors leaves a veil of light on the skin. Its core formula of transparency features a high concentration of golden mother-of-pearl. Poudre d'Orfèvre offers a perfect reflection of light.
The object, designed by Pierre Hardy, is a white lacquered circle bearing the Hermès ex-libris signature. The slim case incorporates a generously sized mirror. Tucked into its orange box, it is a quintessentially Hermès object.
HOW TO USE IT: Poudre d'Orfèvre can be applied with a brush or finger. Swept over the cheekbones, the bridge of the nose and the browbone, it enhances the face and reveals the splendor of a personality. On the body, it accentuates the décolletage. At the corners of the eyes and on the Cupid's bow, it sculpts glints of the night.
