  • Why We Love It:<\/strong> Another new launch, Merit\u2019s Signature Lip Liner is a perfect example of the collective sway toward \u201cno-liner lip liner.\u201d (Think \u201cno-makeup makeup,\u201d but for the pout.) Designed to subtly enhance lips rather than make them overtly pop, the formula has a creamy texture with an easy glide. It also has a thin, crayon-like tip that lets you color as you wish. \u201c[The liner is] buildable\u2014sheer for someone who is new to lip liner or wants something natural, but can be built into higher coverage for more payoff,\u201d Merit\u2019s chief marketing officer, Aila Morin, previously told Vogue<\/em>.<\/em><\/li>\n
  • Key Ingredients:<\/strong> Jojoba seed oil<\/li>\n
  • Shades:<\/strong> 8<\/li>\n
  • How to Use:<\/strong> Apply the product along the lip line to subtly define the lips, or use it all over for a sheer wash of color. Layer for a bigger color payoff, and wear the liner alone or with a lipstick or gloss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    • Why We Love It:<\/strong> The Uniform Tinted Mineral Sunscreen hit the market about six months ago, after many years of product development. Why the holdup? The brand didn\u2019t want to create just any<\/em> mineral sunscreen. It wanted to make one that offered physical protection in a formula that wears like a chemical sunscreen; that is, one that\u2019s not oily, overly thick, or prone to leaving a white cast. The resulting product not only checks all of those boxes, but it has a velvety, blurred finish thanks to a proprietary pigment dispersion technology. \u201cTwo pumps of product is all you need to veil the likes of breakouts and dark spots, trusting that it will not settle into fine lines or budge all day,\u201d Murden wrote.<\/li>\n

      • Why We Love It:<\/strong> For those with harried weekday mornings, the gift of a five-minute, flawless makeup routine is tough to beat. Merit\u2019s streamlined set offers key tools for achieving an everyday beauty look in minutes flat. In less time than it takes to brew a pot of coffee, your eyes can be defined with a volumizing brow gel and a lengthening mascara; your lips can be tinted with a glossy wash of color, and your cheeks can radiate a healthy glow that suggests you\u2019ve just returned from a leisurely stroll in the sun. (Monday morning chaos? Certainly not you<\/em>.)<\/li>\n
      • What\u2019s Included:<\/strong> The seven-piece set holds the items that make up Merit\u2019s core collection, including The Minimalist, Flush Balm, Shade Slick, Brush No. 1, Day Glow highlighter, Clean Lash Mascara, and the Brow 1980 pomade.<\/li>\n
      • How to Use:<\/strong> Perfect a mere-minutes makeup routine by covering imperfections with The Minimalist, then wake up the complexion with the Flush Balm and a touch of Day Glow. Define the eyes with a few swipes of mascara and a touch of brow gel, and call it a (beautiful) day. Fun fact: I put the set\u2019s claims to the test by setting my timer for five minutes and whizzing through an application of each product. I added a supplemental spritz of Retrospect and set the look with my go-to setting spray, and I finished with twenty seconds to spare.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        • Why We Love It:<\/strong> The Minimalist is a lightweight multitasker that can serve as a concealer, a foundation, or a contour. (Made with sea daffodil extract to even out the skin tone and fatty acids for moisture, it also falls into the makeup-as-skincare category.) With Merit\u2019s signature, lightweight feel, the cream-to-powder formula comes in 20 shades and has a second-skin finish. As ever with Merit, application is a breeze. \u201cThe small rounded bullet is about the size and shape of a finger,\u201d Vogue<\/em> contributor Katie Becker wrote. \u201cIt allows you to draw on coverage like you\u2019re using a skin-perfecting stylus.\u201d<\/li>\n
        • Key Ingredients:<\/strong> Sea daffodil extract, fatty acids<\/li>\n
        • How to Use:<\/strong> The versatile tool can be applied in one of three ways. To use it as a spot concealer, dot it over blemishes, then blend it out with a finger or a brush. It can also provide all-over complexion coverage; or, pick a hue three shades darker than your natural skin tone and swipe it on to contour the cheeks, jawline, forehead, and chin. \u201cThis changed the game for me,\u201d Vogue<\/em> contributing editor Celia Ellenberg wrote when the product launched in 2021. \u201cThe shade matching is spot on, although it\u2019s the targeted or<\/em> allover, natural coverage you get from this nourishing stick that really sold me.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          • Why We Love It:<\/strong> Berry-stained beauty has a hold on the TikTok cohort, and it\u2019s easy to see its sweet appeal. Merit\u2019s creamy cheek color\u2014a cult classic for the brand\u2014is key to achieving that just-back-from-a-berry-patch flush. Available in nine hues ranging from the soft-peach Beverly Hills to the sheer-red Rouge, the blush swipes on directly from its rounded stick, leaving a sheer, lit-from-within finish in its wake. The formula is buildable, so you can pick your color intensity depending on the day. But if it\u2019s the viral \u201cstrawberry girl\u201d flush you\u2019re after, keep reading for Vogue<\/em>\u2019s recipe for achieving the look.<\/li>\n
          • Key Ingredients:<\/strong> Vitamin E, microfine pigment powders<\/li>\n
          • How to Use:<\/strong> To get a strawberry-glazed beauty look inspired by the likes of Hailey Bieber, create a base with a tinted moisturizer or a lightweight, dewy foundation. (The Minimalist would be a safe bet.) After applying a face base, sweep the Flush Balm along the apples of the cheeks and over the bridge of the nose, where the sun naturally hits. Blend it in with a finger, a brush, or a sponge, and voila: a summery, outdoorsy flush to keep ashen winter skin at bay.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            • Why We Love It:<\/strong> Merit\u2019s first-ever skin-care product, launched in 2022, made its debut on the New York Fashion Week runway. That season\u2019s Altuzarra models were the first to experience the glass-skin-making effects of the serum, which blends four types of hyaluronic acid with niacinamide, skin-tightening cacao seed extract, and Japanese goldthread root. (Since its launch, the serum has become a staple in Stewart\u2019s pre-makeup regime.) \u201cWe wanted something that made your skin just look instantly plump, awake, really well-rested, and hydrated,\u201d Aila Morin, Merit\u2019s chief marketing officer, previously told Vogue<\/em>. \u201cThat was the genesis for the formula.\u201d<\/li>\n
            • Key Ingredients:<\/strong> Hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, cacao-seed extract<\/li>\n
            • How to Use:<\/strong> Morin shared that the serum was developed as a base for the Minimalist, the brand\u2019s beloved foundation-slash concealer (more on that below.) \u201cWe all know that it\u2019s so much easier to have great makeup if you have a great base, right?\u201d Morin said. \u201cHydrated, healthy, and glowing skin is so much easier to do makeup on.\u201d Apply the serum and give it a moment to sink in before applying the Minimalist (or any type of skin coverage) for easy, frictionless application.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              • Why We Love It:<\/strong> Merit\u2019s new moisturizer also primes the skin for makeup, turning it into a smooth, silky canvas for color. Infused with a complex of peptides, spermidine, and barrier polysaccharides, the formulation strengthens the skin barrier. Of course, it also moisturizes the skin, flooding it with nourishing oat extract, squalene, and jojoba oil. It became an instant favorite for Murden, who shares: \u201cI\u2019ve been reaching for this because the texture and finish are sublime. The rich cream sinks quickly into the skin, creating a nice, supple glow without being overly dewy. Merit likens this to a \u2018cashmere\u2019 finish, and I couldn\u2019t agree more.\u201d<\/li>\n
              • Key Ingredients:<\/strong> Peptides, spermidine, barrier polysaccharides, oat extract, glycerin, jojoba butter, squalene<\/li>\n
              • How to Use:<\/strong> Though the moisturizer doubles as a makeup primer, it can also be used on its own as a salve for winter dryness. \u201c[It] leaves the skin radiant, bouncy, and smooth,\u201d Murden wrote.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                • Why We Love It:<\/strong> Merit\u2019s first-ever fragrance\u2014a warm, musky, floral with a second-skin finish\u2014is the olfactory version of a chic vintage dress. The first time I spritzed it on, I imagined myself in a hotel powder room, surrounded by Grace Kelly types powdering their noses and dotting on lipstick. With notes of pear, aldehydes, jasmine, rose, vanilla, and musk, the perfume comes in a smoky gray bottle with a gilded top. The design was inspired by modern jewelry, and fittingly, the bottle makes for a striking vanity accessory.<\/li>\n
                • Notes:<\/strong> Bergamot, ambrette, pear, aldehydes, jasmine, rose, orris, rosemary, violet, vanilla, musk, moss<\/li>\n
                • How to Use:<\/strong> Spritz it on in the morning, and enjoy the fragrance as it evolves throughout the day. \u201cIt opens quite soft and fresh,\u201d perfumer Fanny Bal previously told Vogue<\/em>. \u201cLike what you would want in the morning. By midday, when you are at work, it\u2019s hitting the floral notes and is more traditional. Then, by evening, it\u2019s turned sexy, with a little moss, a little musk, a little vanilla, a little wood.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Plus I get compliments every time I wear it so that must be a good sign.\u201d Infused with lip-loving ingredients such as squalane, sunflower oil, and papain enzyme, the formulation also moisturizes, soothes, and conceals the appearance of fine lines. What\u2019s more, it comes in 17 shades with both matte and satin finishes.<\/li>\n
                  • Key Ingredients:<\/strong> Squalane, sunflower oil, papain enzyme, vitamin C<\/li>\n
                  • How to Use:<\/strong> Merit declares its makeup \u201cimpossible to mess up,\u201d and this lightweight lipstick is no exception to the rule. It can be applied directly from the tube, and it blends out easily with a brush or a finger. It\u2019s also buildable: One coat will leave a sheer wash of color, while added layers will enhance the color payoff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    • Why We Love It:<\/strong> Merit describes its sheer, buildable balm as \u201cthe easiest bronzer ever,\u201d and I can attest to that. As someone with very fair skin, and<\/em> as someone who gravitates more toward the aforementioned berry-stained vibe than a fresh-from-the-beach glow, I rarely wear bronzer. However, Merit\u2019s light-touch formulation has given me the courage to contour without fear of creating too harsh a look. The balm swipes on like silk, leaving just a hint of luminous, sun-kissed color in its wake. (I chose the Quince hue, which the brand describes as \u201cbone-dune.\u201d) A cinch to blend, the breezy formulation bathes the skin in a candlelit kind of glow. What\u2019s more, the bronzer is infused with fatty acids to moisturize the skin.<\/li>\n
                    • Key Ingredients:<\/strong> Microfine pigments, fatty acids<\/li>\n
                    • How to Use:<\/strong> To add a touch of warmth to the face, take the wide side of the dome-shaped stick and swipe it along the places on the face where the sun naturally hits, such as the temples, the cheekbones, and the bridge of the nose. For a more sculpted look, use the narrow side of the bullet to apply bronzer more precisely to the hairline, jawline, cheekbones, and any other areas that call for some contour. Blend the bronzer in with a finger or a brush\u2014the brand recommends using its tapered blending Brush No. 1 for all complexion products.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                      • Why We Love It:<\/strong>Vogue<\/em> editors deem Merit\u2019s standalone shades \u201cthe answer to shimmery shadows and palette fatigue.\u201d The cream-to-powder shadows come in eight matte colors, including four neutrals and four \u201cstatement\u201d hues. (Stewart\u2019s choice is \u201cVachetta,\u201d a warm beige from the neutral range.) Inspired by makeup trends of the \u201890s and early aughts, the statement shades range from the olive-green \u201cViper\u201d to the classic navy \u201cMidnight.\u201d Resistant to creasing, the talc-free formulation smooths and soothes the skin around the eyes with peptides and chamomile, calendula, and magnolia-bark extracts.<\/li>\n
                      • Key Ingredients:<\/strong> Chamomile extracts, calendula extracts, magnolia bark extract, peptides<\/li>\n
                      • How to Use:<\/strong> While the Solo Shadows can be combined to create any number of eye looks, the standalone shades offer a chance to test out a single-shade look. Merit\u2019s buildable formulation creates a sheer wash of color with one coat; for a more intense color payoff, add more layers with a finger or a brush. (Merit\u2019s Brush No. 2 has two ends, for a wash of color or precise application.) Celebrity makeup artist Omayma Ramzy previously shared her preferred single-shadow method with Vogue<\/em>: start with a subtle matte look for the day, then add more layers as the day goes on to get a deeper, smokier look for evening.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                        • Why We Love It:<\/strong> Hydrating, brightening, and effective at removing stubborn makeup and sunscreen, Merit\u2019s first-ever cleanser launched earlier this year. The bi-phase formula has quickly become a favorite of Vogue<\/em> editors\u2014and a fixture on our list of the best face washes. To what does it owe this honor? \u201cMerit\u2019s new formula is shockingly good,\u201d beauty shopping editor Kiana Murden previously shared. \u201cIt lathers from a light foam to a milky serum that sweeps away impurities and leaves my skin baby soft.\u201d<\/li>\n
                        • Key Ingredients:<\/strong> Jojoba esters, oat amino acids, caramel, tocopherol, bacillus ferment<\/li>\n
                        • How to Use:<\/strong> Shake the bottle to combine the two phases, then massage two to four pumps onto wet skin for at least 30 seconds. Use warm water to rinse, then pat the skin dry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                          • Why We Love It:<\/strong> Softening, conditioning, and tinted with just enough color to give lips a natural flush, Merit\u2019s oils come in 12 glossy shades. The Classic hues range from the creamy, clear \u201cBel Air\u201d to the orangey-red \u201cCara Cara,\u201d while the selection of \u201cGel\u00e9es\u201d features sheer shades of pink, red, and brown. Those hues are just a baseline, though: Rather like a glossy mood ring, the colors change according to natural pH levels in the lips, and look different on everyone who wears them. (My go-to shade, the deep-berry Sangria, dries down on my lips with a sheer, plum-colored hue that will help me embody sugarplum-fairy chic this holiday season.) The formulation is infused with moisturizing ingredients ranging from shea butter to jojoba oil, while fatty acids protect the delicate skin on the lips.<\/li>\n
                          • Key Ingredients:<\/strong> Rosehip oil, omega-3, -6, and -9 fatty acids, shea butter, grapeseed oil, jojoba oil<\/li>\n
                          • How to Use:<\/strong> The tube comes with a small, doe-foot applicator that makes it easy to apply the product precisely. I prefer using the pointed end of the tip to line my lips, then I fill them in using the wider side of the wand before using a finger to blot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

The set contains one of each Merit product, ranging from the Great Skin serum and moisturizer to the Minimalist, the Flush Balm, the Bronze Balm, and the Signature lipstick. It also holds both of the brand\u2019s brushes, and a bottle of Retrospect.<\/li>\n
                            • What\u2019s Included:<\/strong> The set contains 14 products in all, including skincare, makeup, perfume, and brushes.<\/li>\n
                            • How to Use:<\/strong> The items in the set can be used together to create a smooth skin base, a full face of minimalist (or party-ready) makeup, and a dash of fragrance to finish off any look. Of course, one may also opt to parse out the items, starting with the skincare products one day, exploring lipsticks and lip tints the next, and perfecting a naturally flushed bronze after that. However you pair the makeup products, they\u2019ll be easy to apply: The set includes Merit\u2019s No. 1 brush for blending complexion products and its No. 2 brush for easy eyeshadow application.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
