What It Is

Luminous Matte Skincare Foundation was conceived by Gregoris Pyrpylis, creative director of Hermès Beauty, to deliver the perfect balance of high-performance makeup, effective skin care and a natural look.

  • What It's For

    For all skin types.

  • What It Does

    The Makeup Result
    With its luminous matte finish and fluid texture, the foundation offers a natural makeup result that resembles a second skin. Imperfections are blurred and the complexion is radiant. The medium, buildable coverage with 16-hour* long-lasting hold evens out and enhances the complexion. The foundation resists heat, humidity and perspiration: once applied to the skin, the color remains true all through the day.

    Effective Skin Care
    Formulated with an 82% skincare base,** the foundation offers immediate and lasting results on the skin. Its moisturizing, revitalizing performance comes from a trio of active ingredients: niacinamide to nourish, smooth and improve skin quality, pure hyaluronic acid for moisturization and white mulberry extract to plump the skin while protecting it from oxidative stress. The non-comedogenic formula has been dermatologically tested to ensure its suitability for all skin types, including the more sensitive ones.

    The Object
    The bottle was designed by Pierre Hardy, creator of Hermès Beauty objects. Its graphic lines combine the circle and the square and are crafted in noble materials. The glass is partly frosted and partly transparent, playing with perceptions. The black metal pump delivers just the right amount for one application.

  • Finish

    Luminous matte.

  • Coverage Level

    Medium, buildable.

  • Shades

    Gregoris Pyrpylis has created a range of shades to suit all skin tones, gracing every complexion with a balanced result that looks and feels like a second skin. Three undertones are available, warm (W), cool (C) and neutral (N), to bring out the full radiance of each skin tone. Warm is for skin with a pink, apricot or copper tone. Cool is for skin with a golden, ocher or bronze tone. Neutral is for skin with no particular dominant tone.

  • How To Use It

    - To apply Luminous Matte Skincare Foundation to the face, use the Le Perfecteur Brush (sold separately) or the fingertips. The coverage can be adjusted by varying the amount applied, for results ranging from the most natural to the highly sophisticated.
    - A range of bespoke complexion tools (sold separately) has also been created to accompany your daily beauty routine and help you apply these complexion products in a manner that is hygienic, precise and tailored to your own requirements.

Luxury beauty

Gorgeous foundation. Sometimes they don’t have all the colors in stock which I wish they do because sometimes they offer beauty gifts and the colors are not available so I have to wait without the gift. But nonetheless, a fantastic product.

Lux in the bottle

This foundation surprised me in the best way. Hermès Plein Air feels weightless the second it touches your skin, but it still smooths and perfects in the most natural way. It blurs redness and uneven tone without ever looking like a full layer of makeup. The finish is fresh and softly luminous — not dewy, not matte — just healthy and refined. It wears beautifully throughout the day and fades evenly without breaking apart. It’s the kind of product that makes your entire makeup look more elevated and intentional. If you love a light, breathable base that enhances your skin instead of covering it, this is a gorgeous option.

Lux in a bottle

I didn’t expect to fall in love with this the way I did. Hermès Plein Air gives that effortless, second-skin finish that makes people say, “Your skin looks so good,” not “What foundation are you wearing?” It evens everything out while still letting your skin look like skin. The coverage is sheer but buildable, and it layers beautifully without ever feeling heavy. It has that refined, polished glow that looks expensive in the most understated way. It also wears comfortably all day without settling or looking dry. If you prefer a natural, breathable base that enhances rather than masks, this one is truly special.

Luxurious and lightweight

I received this product gifted in exchange for my honest review. I had the opportunity to swatch shades 45C Seigle, 49W Argan, and 53N Typha. The 45C Seigle shade was the closest match to my skin tone. I would describe this foundation as a refined, natural finish formula. It offers light to medium coverage that smooths and evens the complexion while maintaining a realistic skin appearance. It enhances rather than conceals. The texture feels silky and breathable. It blends seamlessly and does not sit heavily on the skin, which makes it very comfortable for extended wear. I would use this foundation for everyday wear, professional settings, or daytime occasions where I want something elegant and breathable rather than full glam.

Leaves my skin looking flawless

complimentary from Hermes I really like this foundation. It blends really nicely. It is buildable with a medium to full coverage with a beautiful matte finish that is smudge-proof and transfer-proof. It blurs and hide my imperfections leaving my skin looking flawless. It feels very lightweight and natural on my skin it doesn't feel like I'm wearing anything foundation on my skin. I love it and highly recommend giving it a try.

Good foundation

The new Hermès foundation offers a refined soft matte finish that looks smooth without appearing flat or heavy. It blends effortlessly into the skin, creating an even, polished complexion while still maintaining a natural feel. The coverage is medium and buildable, allowing you to customize the level of perfection without losing that skin-like effect.
