MERIT makes well-edited beauty essentials that are meant to be safe for body, skin, and planet.
MERIT earns strong reviews as a minimalist, “your-skin-but-better” line that blends easily, flatters a natural look, and suits sensitive skin, with standouts like the Minimalist Complexion Stick, Flush Balm blushes, Day Glow highlighter, Bronze Balm, Clean Lash mascara, and Shade Slick lip oils. Reviews also flag weaknesses: color products that fade quickly, sheer coverage that won’t satisfy full-coverage users, packaging issues (sticks breaking, messy pumps, mascara cap stickiness), occasional dryness/creasing on textured or dry skin, and inconsistent shade matches for some complexions.

I absolutely love the Merit Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Stick! It gives me just the right amount of coverage while still looking natural and skin-like. It blends beautifully, feels lightweight, and makes my complexion look so much more even without feeling like I’m wearing a heavy foundation. A definite five stars! Shade Dune and I have neutral the cool leaning tone skin.

The Brush No. 1 is tapered and densely packed, specifically designed so you cannot tell where your skin ends and the makeup begins. I've always been intimidated by cream blushes, but this duo has changed the game. The Terracotta Flush Balm is the perfect warm caramel-cream shade for an everyday, healthy glow. Using Brush No. 1, the product blends perfectly. The brush itself is a work of art—super plush and makes it impossible to over-apply or mess up your base.

I am officially in love with this combination! The Terracotta Flush Balm provides the most gorgeous, natural, sun-kissed warmth. It is completely sheer but effortlessly buildable, making it foolproof. Paired with the Brush No. 1, it melts right into the skin rather than sitting on top. The brush is incredibly soft, leaves no harsh lines, and makes my makeup look like a seamless second skin. Highly recommend!

This is my third bottle. Goes on smooth, provides light coverage and evens skin tone. And SPF on top of it! I use it every day. Gives me a natural look but polished and more affordable than other similar options. Will buy again.
