The Hermès Plein Air Complexion Balm Is Light as Air

The Hermès Plein Air Complexion Balm Is Light as Air
With guess-proof 12 shades, a skin-loving formula, and buildable coverage, the Hermès Plein Air Complexion Balm is a lightweight tint for Summer’s mercurial temperatures.

How do we begin to describe the Hermès Plein Air Complexion Balm? It could be said that it is a tinted moisturiser, one that soft conceals minor imperfections with just one swipe and is buildable enough should one see the need (the trick, however, is to stop at three).  It could also be said that it is a hybrid of several products for guaranteed handsome: a skin-loving formula (hyaluronic acid, evening primrose oil, Baikal skullcap, and white mulberry extract), sunscreen (a mineral-only formula that guarantees SPF 30/PA+++ protection) and a guess-proof tinted foundation.

The latter is the balm’s ability to adjust to several skin tones lest one purchases the wrong one. 

However, do not dismiss the Hermès Plein Air Complexion Balm as perfunctory or plan as each comes with a coloured band that telegraphs the exact shade one should be using and when he gets to the good stuff, comes scented with a fragrance specially created by Christine Nagel: regenerative arnica, warm sandalwood, and bitter-crisp green tea.
