Plein Air - Luminous Matte Skincare Foundation

What it is: A luminous matte skin-care foundation conceived by Gregoris Pyrpylis, creative director of Hermès Beauty, to deliver the perfect balance of high-performance make-up, effective skin care and a natural look.

What it does: The foundation evens out the skin instantly, blurring imperfections. Its 16-hour* long-lasting hold and its medium, buildable coverage enhance and restore the complexion's radiance. Over time, the skin is moisturized and regains its elasticity, while fine lines are visibly smoothed. With its luminous matte finish and fluid texture, the foundation offers a natural make-up result that resembles a second skin. Imperfections are blurred and the complexion is radiant. The medium, buildable coverage evens out and enhances the complexion, all day long. The foundation resists heat, humidity and perspiration: once applied to the skin, the color remains true all through the day. Formulated with an 82% skin-care base**, the luminous matte skincare foundation offers immediate and lasting results on the skin.

Gregoris Pyrpylis has created a range of shades to suit all skin tones, gracing every complexion with a perfectly 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 (W): for skin with a pink, apricot or copper tone

- Cool (C): for skin with a golden, ocher or bronze tone

- Neutral (N): for skin with no particular dominant tone

Key ingredients:

- Niacinamide: nourish, smooth and improve skin quality

- Pure hyaluronic acid: moisturization

- White mulberry extract (Morus alba L.): an antioxidant that plumps the skin while protecting it from oxidative stress

Research results:

In a self-assessment by 55 volunteers after 28 days of use:

- 91% of people noticed an improvement in the overall appearance of their skin

– 85% of people said that their skin was firmer

– 87% of people said that their skin had regained its elasticity

– 82% of people said that wrinkles and fine lines had been smoothed out

– 86% of people said that their skin was plumper

How to use: To apply the luminous matte foundation to the face, use a brush (sold separately) or fingertips. The coverage can be adjusted by varying the amount applied, for results ranging from the most natural to the highly sophisticated. For greater coverage or to blur imperfections, simply tap a little extra onto specific areas.
