Allow us to introduce you to one of our favorite new makeup brands, Merit Beauty. It is the latest cosmetics company to blur the lines between makeup and skincare while advocating for that minimal no-makeup makeup look.
All of Merit’s products are easy to use and foolproof, plus they are formulated with skin-loving components without the use of endocrine or hormone-disrupting ingredients, so you can rest assured you are getting healthy makeup products for your body.
Lastly, Merit wants to make a statement that luxury can be responsible. The company aims to eliminate as much virgin plastic as possible from its products and operations with shipments that are recyclable, reusable, or biodegradable. All Merit products are also cruelty-free, Leaping Bunny-certified, and vegan.
So what should you check out from Merit Beauty? Here are two of our favorite products.
Shade Slick Tinted Lip Oil ($24, shop here)
Lip oils are the next big thing in lip products, and Merit Beauty knows it, too. It created the Shade Slick to combine the best parts of lip gloss, lip stain, and lipstick into one oil-based formula. The lightweight lip oil offers a nice wash of color with a beautiful glossy finish that acts as a stain, so your lips look fresh and flirty all day long. It’s also infused with ingredients your lips will love, including rosehip oil, shea butter, grapeseed oil, and jojoba oil. Get ready to kiss chapped winter lips goodbye!
The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Stick ($38, shop here)
If you love versatile products, then this one has your name written all over it. Meet The Minimalist, a perfecting complexion stick that doubles as a foundation and a concealer. The product is designed to be used in place of all-over coverage, so you can do touch-ups only where you need them. Created in partnership with aesthetician Biba de Sousa, the stick is infused with yummy ingredients like sea daffodil and fatty acids, resulting in a creamy, hydrating, blendable formula that allows your skin to shine. In addition, it is available in 20 shades, suitable for all skin types and tones. Finally, you can downsize your makeup bag!
