MERIT
4.6 • 285 Reviews
MERIT makes well-edited beauty essentials that are meant to be safe for body, skin, and planet.
MERIT earns strong reviews as a minimalist makeup brand that delivers natural, dewy, skin-like results with elegant packaging and foolproof, blendable formulas—especially standouts like the Flush Balm blush, Minimalist Complexion Stick, Bronze Balm, Day Glow, and Shade Slick lip oil. Reviews also flag weaknesses: sheer color and shorter wear, products emphasizing dryness or texture on some skin types, inconsistent shade range for fair and deeper undertones, packaging quirks (sticks breaking, messy pumps), and a mascara that reads too subtle for some.

I have very sensitive skin so I am very basic when it comes to moisturizer and use, and have always used La Roche-Posay's, Double Repair Face Moisturizer. This moisturizer was a very nice travel size, but did have a weird smell to it that I didn't love.

This has become my favorite concealer and is my favorite product from MERIT! I'm already on my third stick. I'm using the shade Silk. Perfect amount of coverage while still feeling really light and blending easily.

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!
