    Hi Everyone, hope you enjoyed the video.
    Just a quick update, all the opinions expressed in today’s video still stand, however, after trying to build up the foundation/concealer for more coverage on day 3, I noticed the product transferring and lifting like crazy. Because of that, if you’re wanting anything other than sheer-light coverage, I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s beautiful as light coverage, but a bit messy if you try and get anything more.
    Hope that’s helpful xxx

      After watching several beauty gurus rave over the Merit Solo eyeshadows, I took the plunge and bought 2 complete with the eyeshadow brush. This is probably the most expensive eyeshadows I’ve ever purchased. I can honestly say they’re the worst shadows I’ve ever bought. They’re very drying, especially on mature eyes. The colour payback is minimal and they disappear extremely quickly. All in all a very bad purchase! 😊😢

      @@jubblypatthank you so very much for this information! Just like you, I have seen so many influencers rave about the solo eyeshadows- thank you for saving us all some $$$. To pay you back, I have found that the Ulta Matte Cream eyeshadow in Game Over is a great one and done and is primer and shadow in one!

    I'm in love with this foundation! As an older woman (76) this blends perfectly, looks natural, and doesn't crease under my eyes. I blend it with a brush, and then finish with a dry sponge. I do still add a little Touche Eclat Hi Cover concealer (the one you didn't like, but I have used ever since from a few years ago!!). I do powder - but very, very lightly with Hourglass Luminous lIght. Will definitely try the blush, highlighter and brow products now. Beautiful look.

    I saw that after day 3 that the stick foundation/concealer started to lift and move, however in this tutorial I think your skin looks phenomenal and very skin-like, you dont look 'made-up' just beautiful and natural .. I might give this a go for those days when you just need to look a bit better than 'normal' rather than made-up .. it seems, given how great you look, to be the perfect 'no make-up, make-up look' .. again another knock-out tutorial Gemma!! xx

    Blushers - just gorgeous
    Highlighter - it's too pretty not to try
    Eyebrow gel - beautiful
    AND many Lip products - yessssssssssssss
    I'm over the moon to see Merit Beauty here, I've been itching to try their products 😊😊

    I have The ambient light powder from Hourglass in Ethereal Light. I’m a pale girl so this works pretty well. The difference is it does not look heavy on the under eye and keeps some kind of glow going that diffuses shadows. A pair this with the Charlotte Tilbury beautiful skin radiant concealer. A pointed highlighter brush from Ulta beauty is used to lightly dust the area.

It’s hard to chose shades on line and you did a great job and I loved that blush ! Thanks😊

    I got baby lipstick which feel lovely on the lips. I also got Fox blush after seeing it would give me that caught the sun look, I find creams don’t last well on me so hunted to find a matching powder blush and found Vieve powder blush in Piazza is the same shade. I layer them for lasting power.

    You look lovely in Merit. I discovered this company last Summer and I LOVE everything I've tried, especially the brow, blush balm and lip slick. I have Cheeky, Terracotta and Fox in the blush balms and I have to say Fox is my favorite also. I use it the same way you applied it with the bronzer on my cheeks and I love the subtle, sculpted look I get. Such a GREAT company and with the cost of makeup these days, I think these products are well worth the money.

  • @vickierotell4995
    @vickierotell4995 Год назад +1

    Haven't tried any Merit, but this video makes me want to. Other Utubers have commented on the cost per volume of product in the container. I'm in my late 50s with very dry skin and think the emollient formula may work. I have invested in the Westman-Atelier so after I'm done I may try. Your makeup looks great. Also if u use your color corrector under your eyes before the foundation you may have greater success. You look gorgeous 😍

  • @carlarenner555
    @carlarenner555 Год назад +1

    I’m VERY tempted now. I know this is also supposed to be great for a quick look. If I were traveling with it I think I would also pack and under eye concealer and probably an eye primer. The blush shade that I hear talked about the most is the shade raspberry. I remember seeing it and liking it at Sephora. At any rate I think that’s the shade that’s constantly selling out. Wasn’t sure about the foundation stick but really liked it after your demo.

Loved this video!

    I adore the blushes and have for some time. Beverly Hills is the most wonderful layering blush. It's super neutral but also light enough for me when I am in my "winter fair" levels of whiteness. Strangely enough, it also works in summer. I wear the blushes alone and with others. They work great with powder blushes, too. I keep a mini version of Beverly Hills in my bag and use it for touch ups throughout the day, even if I wore another blush.

    Oh I'm so glad you reviewed these! I recently had allergy testing and am allergic to a few things that are in sooooo many beauty products. But there are a few Merit products that are safe for me, so I really enjoyed the review! Sadly I can't wear the lipsticks, but I'm intrigued by the lip oil, the blush, and the highlight (surprisingly!).

Thank you for your recommendations, I'm going to try some of the berry tones of the blush (Apres and Raspberry Beret and their corresponding lipstick/lip oil.... although I think the blush can be used as a hint of colour on the lips) for an Autumn colour palette in a couple of months. This was really useful, Gemma, as we have the same skin tone, and the suggested shade from Merit website, after sending a photo, was waaaaaaayyyyy too warm even viewed on a screen, hence I've been waiting for this video!

    I love this stuff - found it via Caroline Barnes’s channel and bought way too much, but now gone back to get the bronze in Clay, (I bought quince before) the blush in Fox to add to the two I got before and a new lip oil! Bad, bad Gemma! 😅. I’d love to know how the blush and the bronzer work over a different foundation. I am freckled and although can trend towards redness, I don’t need or want much cover during the day - happily no shadows below the eyes, though I sometimes have to make that area look less pale - yay for sunglasses! But I like a medium cover if getting dressed up and using more makeup on my eyes etc. Follow up video please 😊
