description

A foolproof, flexible balm that deposits a creamy, transparent veil of color to let your skin show through. Formulated in partnership with esthetician Biba de Sousa, whose No List includes 72 potentially acne-triggering ingredients that we eliminate. WHAT IT DOES: Microfine pigment powders deposit a touch of color, without covering up natural skin texture. Light, balmy finish leaves a long-lasting glow that’s never cakey. Low weight emollient won’t clog pores. Vitamin E conditions skin.

I'm critical of Merit as yet another company that pretends to be inclusive when it's not. While their social media uses a lot of mixed race models with African American ancestry, the company's...

This is genuinely a nice blush. I have the colour Persimmon. On my white warm undertone it looks like I caught some sunshine before it turns to tan. It’s so easy to use, other reviews are correct...

I am a sucker for the Merit line, though it amuses me that they keep adding more and more steps to what was supposed to be a line of minimalist makeup. The Flush Balm is a delightful blush that is...

I love the shade Apres- It is an exact dupe for my favorite blush Tarte Natural beauty. It is also a similar shade to Fenty Summertime Wine and Milani 160 Berry Smooch. It's an In from the cold...

I have this in the raspberry shade. It’s beautiful on my light-medium skin. It gives a “just in from the cold” look. Unfortunately it doesn’t last well on me.

I looooove the feel of this cream blush. It is very light, balmy and the name “flush” balm accurately describes how it makes my cheeks look. I’d prefer the packaging to be more like their...

These are very, very, VERY sheer - if a medium to bold cheek product is what you prefer, you may not like this. It's sheer like a faint water color, and is not build-able. Adding more just...

I have this in Cheeky and Raspberry Beret shades. They are both very pretty and work well on my pale/pink complexion. Wear time is not as long as I would like and cost is a bit much. However, I...
