I just bought 2 lipstick this week.. my first purchase from their brand and after wearing lipstick for like 20 years this is the best formula I’ve ever tried. Sooo impressed
I love a slight cool-toned bronzer and contour too! It’s give that shadow-y effect on the facial contour and on my structure, it emphasises that effortless, natural makeup, but still well-sculpted features. Warm-toned contour tends to be muddy on me, even though I’m a bit on the warmer side. Colours is just so interesting 😂
Great review. YAY! The oil is back! I like the Merit products I have purchased, especially the lipsticks and blushes. They look great this time of year when you want a light application for an easy Summer look ❤️
Well, you've influenced me once again! 😂😊 I already love the serum, lip oil, highlighter in cava and blush in fox so just purchased the foundation, lipstick in baby, bronzer and blush in Stockholm. Lol, your videos are just too good!! ❤
Hello. Yes I’m seven months late watching you but i just found this brand online and went right to RUclips to watch a video on full face makeup application of it. I have to say it looks so natural and beautiful on you. Without all the heavy weight and overly saturated colors of other makeup brands. I’m convinced so I’m going to make a purchase of the liquid glow the stick face enhancing foundation like product a lip balm because it is multi purpose use for now and I believe the highlight or mascara but most likely the highlight. I can always use another mascara for now Thanks for your video it helped a lot. ❤
Te urmăresc de ceva vreme, dar nu am știut că ești româncă. Îmi place conținutul videoclipurilor tale și sinceritatea ta. Mă bucur că te-am găsit și faptul că ești româncă e un bonus 😊.
I love Merit. Surprise brand for me. I have kinda oily skin and I love the serum. It doesn’t make me too oily. It is fabulous to put under matte foundations to give a little life Their lipsticks are great the blushes. The bronzer all brushes nothing I haven’t liked
Love this video - I love merit too! The mascara is my number one, it's literally the only mascara I've ever tried that won't leak and smudge because of oily eyelids. Oh and it's also easy to take off! Or, at least I'm able to fully get it off with makeup remover unlike a lot of waterproof mascaras (which also run on me). I just wish they would give more product for the price, it's soooo expensive and doesn't last long because it dries out so fast. I wish it wasn't my number 1 because it's so expensive and starts drying out after the first month.
I am so careful with my Merit serum after you said you dropped yours a few months ago because all I could think was I bet that was a mess to clean up!🤣 Great review! I enjoy quite a few Merit products!💕
@@annealbaugh919 most smaller companies charge shipping. It’s very expensive if they offer free shipping for any amount. Bigger corporate companies can afford that, but smaller individual companies can’t do it. Actually I read that one of the biggest expenses for a new company is shipping, not the material to make the products.
I think clay looks darker then the other shade , I like that one better . I Love Merritt everything I have tried I have loved, I definitely want more shades and to try more. I was planning on getting more of the blush shades then I got side tracked with all the new blush releases . I love the highlight in cava.
I am a new subscriber. I want to thank you for your honest reviews. You are my source for honest reviews when I really want to make a decision on what to buy. I am new at makeup (I am in my mid 50s). I have always taken great care of my skin; however, a bit of clinique foundation and lip gloss had always been my holly grail for cultural events with the hubby including weddings in the past. At this stage of life,, when dark circles, and skin textures are making unwelcome appearances, I have decided it is the right time for me to play make up. I have done a great amount of research. There is a plethora brands to choose from. The choices are exhaustive. I prefer the luxury brands. You, have helped me picked a few. I appreciate how you can boast about a brand and yet, still give an honest and objective review while picking and choosing your favorites. I appreciate the way you can objectively highlight wether it is worth the money or not. Makeup is already an expensive venture, luxury brands are in a different realm of cost. ❤ Thank you Tania Wells. You've a beautiful family. Your inner beauty radiates. I like your approach to makeup; less is more.
Tonia letting you know sephora has TF matte primer sample with 35$ purchase. I just checked out. Not sure how long they will last. I am going to try it to see if it’s something I’m interested in. I know yours is almost out.
the minimalist was my go to until the entire stick flew out of the tube one day 😢 would not repurchase again for this reason but lovely review as usual tania!
I would really like to try these products. Blush and lipstick look amazing! This simple makeup with a gentle accent on the lips really suits you! It is a pity that this brand is not represented in my country and I do not have the opportunity to order. Thanks for the interesting review!
I have oily skin and I find that the foundation works just fine for my skin. I do use a mattifying primer underneath. I just wish Merit offered more of a shade range in the foundation sticks. I'm very fair and the lightest shade is almost too dark for me
I love Merit, so I've veen looking forward to this video! 😊 I've been so interested in getting the serum! Does it apply well with sunscreen? Do you still get the same smooth/primer affect even over a layer of sunscreen? 🌞
I do put the primers over sunscreen, however I do let the SPF settle into my skin first. As for the serum I use it under like a skincare or on top if I need more moisture before applying my makeup.
I have the Merit oil and love it! I’ve tried the blushes & lipsticks. I love the coral one on you I may have to get that one 😆. Very nice review on Merit products and your final look beautiful as always!! 😊❤️
Can you believe that I don't own ANY Merit products 😱. Actually, I don't know if I can get them in the UK, I'll definitely have to check. I love the "barely there" makeup look. It's a healthy, fresh look that suits all ages. You look so beautiful and natural 😍😍 Lots of love 🌟💗🌟💗🌟 PS : I bought the Chanel powder 🤪
@TaniaBWells It's not like anything else in my collection - I love it 😍 I've also bought the D&G Solar Glow Bare Skin Beautifier and it's so, so lovely. Used as a finishing powder, it gives my skin a beautiful glow. It's only available from Harrods - why? That makes zero sense 😕
Beautiful Tania, I am definitely going To try the glowy serum. I think my dry Skin would love it. Also, I think I like The more cool tone bronzer (clay I think) on you. That's such a a nice Product also. Hope your having a good Summer so far 💞💞
Great review! I have and love the Merit Serum and a lot of the lipsticks and lip oils. I’m going to have to get some blushes and a pomade. I hope Merit paid you for this and didn’t just send you products. I heard they try to do that to RUclipsrs.
Great video Tania. I tried the foundation stick in Aug last year for the Sephora sale while in Houston. The color bisque was my shade, but other foundations won me over, like Cle De Peau and Chanel Sublimage. I will have to try it again for an everyday look. Do you still use your regular skincare routine and use the Merit serum as a primer?
Honestly the effect that they give is quite similar. I have two colors in both Makeup by Mario and Merit and they both have a more cool toned bronzer and a warmer one
I have oily skin and I’ve had the foundation stick in and out of my cart about 100 times! I hope someone with oily skin replies as to whether or not it works for them! I love the Merit blush and lipsticks!
I think she meant too dewy/glowy because of the primer/glow serum she used underneath . The foundation stick itself is pretty matte and dryer formula. I think it will be great for oily skin.
@@LisaF_ you’re welcome. I think they made it more matte to be a nice base for all the dewy and emollient products to go on top like the blushes, bronzer, and highlighter.
thanks for the review!! do you recommend me getting the serum or the concealer/ foundation stick?? i can only buy one and i’m not sure which one to buy!!!
When can we get Merit in Europe? I really want to try the lip formulas :) The primer makes me nervous because it goes on top of sunscreen. It has the potential to interfere with the SPF protection. Do you know if the brand mentions something about this?
It depends on the products. I like the foundation better from Merit but the highlighters from Westman Atelier. Also the lipstick from Merit are better but the blushes from WA last longer.
Be careful about using the oil based serum as a primer. If you put it on top of your sunscreen it could cause your sunscreen to break down. This is supposed to work as a skincare step under moisturizer.
That's what I was worried about as well with using the serum as a primer. Because it is both oily and watery it could easily break down the film created by sunscreen. Instead I've been using it as a fast skincare replacement. On days when I can't or don't want to do a full skincare routine, I put on the serum and it gives an effect similar to my whole routine. Then I put on moisturizing sunscreen (dry skin!) and go onto makeup after my sunscreen has set. It definitely still leaves a glowy effect under my makeup! I actually love to use it that way.
First thing we need to have a better definition of what clean beauty is. And absolutely agree that more people should try to use less and less chemicals on their face. Oh I love Merit Beauty so so much:)
For me, Merit is a brand that only looks pretty for an hour. I am disappointed in everything, especially the lipstick does not show any color. I gave it all to a friend who doesn't like to see herself made up
Is your skin more oily? I have normal to dry and most of their products stay about 5-6 hours on me. Foundation lasts even longer. It is a very soft, sheer kind of makeup so I can see how it can fade on some people.
I think I prefere « scene » bronzer (dunno the spelling) but it’s a bit of a dilemma ! I think I have the same as when I saw the 2 pmg powder bronzer on you. I think you look like a mermaid like just came out of water ☺️ ( can’t wait for the jones road video 🤩🤩)

I really like Merit products. I use Cava as a primer also. It looks great under many foundations for me. And I Love their lipsticks.
Oo, I should try Cava as a primer!! Thanks for that idea❤️

It was a huge mess to clean up.. and my kid wanted to play in it as I was cleaning it up..
Merit was so smart to price things at $38 and give a $40 min free shipping lol
Yeah, I’ve seen that at most companies
@@nzgirl2105 me too
So many companies do that ! 🙄
But you have other companies that don’t charge for shipping , so wonder why some an do that some can’t!?

Beautiful Tania, I am definitely going
To try the glowy serum. I think my dry
Skin would love it. Also, I think I like
The more cool tone bronzer (clay I think) on you. That's such a a nice
Product also. Hope your having a good
Summer so far 💞💞
You would love the Serum Carol. It is so hydrating without being oily and sticky.
Beautiful look, love the lip color on you.❤❤❤❤
Thank you ❤️
I like clay better too and it’s really pretty on you 😊
I love there lip products 😊
😘❤️
Do you use serum as skincare or primer?
Both. Sometimes I put it under SPF as a skincare, and sometimes as a primer since it sits so well under makeup.
The mascara looks nice 👍
Oh my gosh I didn't know that Merit brought back Aperitif. It is probably my favorite lipstick shade of all time.
It’s so so beautiful!!!
Great review! I have and love the Merit Serum and a lot of the lipsticks and lip oils. I’m going to have to get some blushes and a pomade. I hope Merit paid you for this and didn’t just send you products. I heard they try to do that to RUclipsrs.

i find the cle de peau concealer stick a good dupe for the minimalist - the product seems more secure in the tube too
It depends on the Merit serum. Sometimes I use it as a Serum under my SPF and sometimes I use it as a Primer.
Hello Tania and everyone 😊
I like the siene on you
Beautiful! What happens when it goes bad? Does it smell different?
Yes, and the texture can change.
I love there lip oils ❤
Seine is the river in France. It bisects Paris. In French, it is pronounced “Sehn.”
❤️❤️
would you put suncreen on before or after the serum? thank you
Before, and I would let it sink in ❤️
Hello tania I have questions please about your hair color what is it ??
It is a foilayage technique and toner. ❤️
@@TaniaBWells thank you so much 😊 I really like your content it’s so clean ❤️
How does the merit bronze balm compare the the Mario bronzer balm? It def looks more cool toned but I'm also curious about the formula and wear time

You can use it just as a Serum. That’s how they advertise it, but I love it under makeup.
A question to you as expert: would you recommend Merit over Westman Atelier ?????
It depends on the products. I like the foundation better from Merit but the highlighters from Westman Atelier. Also the lipstick from Merit are better but the blushes from WA last longer.
Oh my goodness do you recall the name of your nails 💅 🤩
It was a dip nail and I can’t remember the name
I wish Australia Sephora would include Merit. I've been wanting to try this brand for so long but I don't want to pay international shipping fee. 🤣
Yeah.. don’t do it!!
the merit lipstick there isnt one called aperitif? Are you sure thats the name because its not on their website
Yes, it was limited edition sadly😔
@TaniaBWells oh darn what a beautiful color
Hi pretty girl! 😘💯👌
Hey lovely lady❤️
Be careful about using the oil based serum as a primer. If you put it on top of your sunscreen it could cause your sunscreen to break down. This is supposed to work as a skincare step under moisturizer.
I read that if you let the spf soak into the skin then you shouldn’t have an issue. 🤷♀️ I’ll need to read more about it though.

Oh, man. This is going to be an expensive watch 😅
😂😂
I don’t like merit too much. They are sheer and don’t last long upon application. And they are not cheap. Not for me. Thanks for the review.
Looking at you the only things that stands out is the lipstick.
They are def minimal makeup style, but I don’t have an issue with longevity with most of their products.
We need more clean beauty brand reviews. Unfortunately, I don’t like Merit… All the products I’ve tried were mediocre…
First thing we need to have a better definition of what clean beauty is. And absolutely agree that more people should try to use less and less chemicals on their face. Oh I love Merit Beauty so so much:)

Can I be your friend? 😂😂
Haha!! Sure❤️
I think I prefere « scene » bronzer (dunno the spelling) but it’s a bit of a dilemma ! I think I have the same as when I saw the 2 pmg powder bronzer on you. I think you look like a mermaid like just came out of water ☺️ ( can’t wait for the jones road video 🤩🤩)
