THE CREATION
As the first step in the Hermès Plein Air complexion beauty ritual, the perfecting primer prepares the skin for foundation application and improves skin quality. Developed thanks to the expertise of Gregoris Pyrpylis, Creative Director of Hermès Beauté, the perfecting primer combines effective skincare with a natural finish. The skin is smoothed and moisturized for up to 8 hours*, and the complexion is refined.
THE MAKEUP RESULT
The smooth and lightweight perfecting primer is suitable for all skin tones. It blends into the skin and gives it a transparent, silky-glossy finish that makes the complexion glow and lasts for a full 12 hours*. The makeup stays in place even when exposed to moisture or heat. For even skin, less visible pores, a refined complexion, and concealed imperfections.
THE SKINCARE EFFECT
Thanks to its nourishing active ingredients, this perfecting primer improves the skin immediately and long-term. The skin is instantly soothed and stays moisturized for 8 hours*. It owes this moisturizing and soothing effect to a trio of active ingredients: These are nourishing, smoothing, and skin-quality-improving niacinamide, moisturizing pure hyaluronic acid, and a plumping and oxidative stress-protecting extract of white mulberry (Morus alba L.), which also has an antioxidant effect.

THE GESTURE
The perfecting primer can be applied with your finger to the entire face after using your usual skincare products. It can be used alone or as a base for a complexion makeup product. It is applied with smoothing movements from the inside to the outside of the face.
THE OBJECT
Crafted from precious materials, the bottle was designed by Pierre Hardy, creator of Hermès Beauté's beauty objects. It combines round and angular elements in a graphic, minimalist style. With its mix of white lacquer and transparent glass, it plays with perception. The black metal pump, engraved with the "Hermès Paris" signature, allows you to dispense exactly the right amount of foundation for each application. The white metal cap features a decorative element: the Hermès ex-libris in gold-colored Permabrass.
