Hermes Beige Naturel & Rose Velours Rouge Matte Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches

Beige Naturel (11)

Hermes Beige Naturel (11) Rouge Matte Lipstick ($67.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark pink with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. It had good pigmentation in a single layer, which applied somewhat evenly but had visible streaking along the edges and some product that accumulated in my lip lines.

The initial settling wasn’t too noticeable, but it worsened within an hour of wear. The texture was smooth, velvety, and very thin and lightweight, which made it more prone to emphasizing natural lip texture. It wore well for four hours and felt neither drying nor hydrating over time.

Formula Overview

$67.00/0.12 oz. - $558.33 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be "comfortable" and "hydrating" with a "velvety, powdery finish" that has "intense, long-lasting color." The shades I've tested have had good color coverage in a single layer, though more semi-opaque and buildable than fully opaque coverage in a single layer. They have a smooth, velvety consistency that's very lightweight and thin, but most shades were unforgiving; they emphasized lip texture, settled into lines, separated along lip lines, and caught on imperfections.

The texture felt nice and comfortable going on, but it seemed a little clingy over time, and I did not find the formula hydrating while worn. They seemed to be mostly non-drying but one shade seemed drying to me. The wear was four to six hours with the deepest shade I tried, Rose Velours, left behind a stain over time (but was the one that felt a little drying). There was a sweet, rosy scent (seemed more like a fresh rose) but had a bit of a soapy taste while worn.

Each case is refillable with the twist-up lipstick component being removable with a gentle pull. I'm not certain if all of the components are plastic-free or just the holder (the part that you can refill), because when I took out the removable portion, the mechanism that twisted the lipstick up and down seemed like plastic (it didn't warm up as noticeably compared to the rest of the packaging when I left it in the sun for 15 minutes), while the cylindrical tube seemed more like metal than plastic.

Rose Velours (78)

Hermes Rose Velours (78) Rouge Matte Lipstick ($67.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark raspberry pink with cool, blue undertones and a semi-matte finish. Of the shades I tried, it had the most matte finish from the get-go, and it also applied the best, though it was lightly drying over time.

One layer yielded nearly opaque coverage that applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without tugging. The texture was very lightweight, thin, and somewhat clingy in feel (it felt dry almost from the get-go), but it wasn’t as prone to emphasizing lip lines and lip texture compared to other shades in the range. It wore well for six hours and left a faint stain behind.
