I absolutely love my new mimimalist stick and signature lip. I'm not a make-up person, but use it more to cover redness/make myself look less exhausted haha. This fits the bill so perfectly. It goes on smooth and not cakey — probably honestly the smoothest out of everything I've tried so far. I'm so happy I found MERIT and can't wait to try more stuff.
I have really fair skin and most lipsticks look like way too much color on me. I love Merit for how sheer, balmy, and comfortable the formula is; they're easy to apply and give me the perfect sheer wash of color. Baby is my favorite shade, the perfect neutral rosy pink on me!
As part of Thingtestibg, I ordered 4 products from Merit- the signature lip liner in coupe, lipstick in millenial, mascara, and the uniform tinted sunscreen. Based on what I know, I’m a huge fan of this brand. It’s considered a “clean” brand, which is nice but honestly doesn’t matter to me as much as if it works - which this brand does. Both the lip liner and the lipstick are a pretty, natural pink that are very easy to apply. The mascara is excellent - it lasted during an entire summer day without smudging/flaking, but wasn’t impossible to take off. And the sunscreen was easily applied with my fingers, with a nice light tint - if you prefer light coverage, this + some concealer is all you need. Highly recommend! It also came in a unique corduroy bag that I will definitely reuse!
I really love Merit products. I think they have high quality formulas and great colors with strong performance. I like that they don't have a million products and they're a brand that is easy to shop. The simple but classy packaging is also great. For friends who want to wear a little more makeup and look put together without putting in a ton of effort (or spending a lot) I recommend Merit all the time. When I do a 3-minute face it's mostly Merit products and I definitely always pack them to travel.
