Brush No. 1

4.6 • 8 Reviews

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 LOVE the flush balm! Obsessed. The blending brush is also amazing. The perfecting stick is not great on my 42yo skin, it looks cakey and settles into every wrinkle. The serum also not for me. But A+ for customer service!

I'm a very minimal no-makeup-makeup kinda person and MERIT seems designed especially for my tastes & lifestyle. I love a very quick routine that looks natural but polished. Out of the products I tried, the complexion stick, brush no. 1, and the blush were standouts for me! I love the way the complexion stick can be used as a daily concealer, as-needed spot coverage or layered for more typical foundation-like coverage. The brush blends it all seamlessly into my skin and the product seems to last throughout the day without drying my skin out. I don't own foundation because I ware it rarely and don't particularly like the feeling, so I'm really excited to have a product in my routine that I can pull out for special events or moments where I want more coverage! I picked up the blush in the colors cheeky & fox and both are really gorgeous, very easy to work with, natural. The finish is very sheer, buildable and almost a touch glowy. I'll definitely keep an eye on MERIT for future makeup needs!

Effortless, glowy, and wearable. My daughter and I both love Merit — every product just works. The liquid lipstick feels soft and natural, the SPF foundation gives that perfect skin-but-better finish, and the cream blush melts in like a dream. The highlighter is our favorite — subtle, dewy, and never glittery. It’s the kind of makeup that makes you look like you, just a little more polished.

I love the Merit mascara! I was looking for a clean mascara that would hold a curl in straight Asian eyelashes and also not lead to raccoon eyes from oily lids. The Clean Lash Lengthening Mascara is it! I don't typically wear anything on my skin besides sunscreen, but the Complexion Stick is really good for spot coverage (i.e., as a concealer). The Blending Brush is also useful to blend out the Complexion Stick when I wear it as a foundation, but I typically just use my fingers to blend because I'm lazy. Overall, Merit creates some great products, and I would definitely try some of their others in the future!

Merit is changing the makeup game. I actually feel like myself when I wear merit but even more beautiful. Instead of concealing and caking they enhance and almost feels like skincare instead of makeup. They make the routine of feeling like your best self so efficient and when you're a working mom that means a lot. Also their makeup brush is the best brush on the market. Hands down!

First time trying these products - I appreciated the free bag with my first order and enjoyed my products, especialy the foundation brush which was great quality and a versatile addition to my makeup bag. I look forward to trying the SPF tinted moisturizer over the coming weeks.

I have the merit brush, bronze balm and lip oil in marrakech. I used the bronze balm as a contour stick for a while because I prefer something sheer and buildable for contour instead of anything too harsh. Loved it for a while but realized it’s a bit too warm-toned for contour. I use the brush the blend it out and it works great. The lip oil no complaints, it has a nice texture but I prefer the kosas lip oil so wont be repurchasing.
