Merit Beauty: My Favorite Makeup for Mature Skin

My obsession with MERIT Beauty began with the Signature Lip Liner and Tinted Lip Oil, aka – The Lip Duo. As you can see, I quickly expanded with more products, and you’ll understand why once you try them.

MERIT The Great Skin Duo

I know I said makeup, but let’s start with a bit of skincare. The Great Skin Duo is an Instant Glow Serum and a Firming Moisturizer. The Instant Glow Serum is a bi-phase serum packed with niacinamide, cacao seed extract, and two types of hyaluronic acid for that deep hydration. It’s vegan, cruelty-free, and made without any acne-triggering ingredients. A little pat-pat under your makeup = magic.

The Firming Moisturizer is a lightweight cream packed with peptides, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C for hydration and a healthy glow. It’s vegan, cruelty-free, and made without anything that could clog your pores. A quick swipe before makeup (or on bare skin) makes everything look a little firmer, fresher, and just plain better. I linked these products separately, but you save a few dollars when buying them as a set.

MERIT The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Stick – Sandstone

This Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Stick is truly a GURL’S BEST FRIEND. First of all, it’s a lightweight concealer and foundation all in one, making it super easy to use. Simply dot it on, then blend with your fingers—or with a cute blending brush if you’re feeling fancy. As a result, the formula gives you medium coverage without masking your skin, so you still look like yourself, just a little fresher. Plus, I love that it’s packed with skin-loving ingredients, which means it keeps the integrity of your skin happy while helping you look flawless. Plus, it’s slim enough to toss in your makeup bag for touchups!

MERIT Flush Balm Cream Blush – Archival (Cool Mauve)

Gurl, this Flush Balm Cream Blush is the moment! It’s a creamy, lightweight cream blush that melts into your cheeks and lips with a balmy sheen that’s so flattering. “Fox” is the prettiest warm taupe shade that gives a wash of natural warmth, not a clown look, ha! Packed with vitamin E for a boost of moisture, it’s a dream for mature skin. Plus, no sparkle, just that lit-from-within color we crave.

MERIT Solo Shadow Cream-to-Powder Soft Matte Eyeshadow – Studio

If you’re scared of eye shadow because of smudging and creasing, then you’ll love this because the solo shadows are a cream-to-powder dream. They blend like butter and then set down soft and matte. “Midcentury” is the perfect warm brown that adds just the right amount of depth without aging you. It’s super easy for daytime looks or layering with a little more drama at night (when Joe and I sneak out for date night, ha!).

MERIT Clean Lash Lengthening Tubing Mascara

This clean lash mascara is a personal fave. 💕 It lifts and lengthens your lashes without weighing them down, and thanks to the tubing formula, it slides right off with warm water — no raccoon eyes here! It’s packed with skin-loving ingredients and free of heavy, irritating junk.

MERIT Brow 1980 Volumizing Eyebrow Pomade Gel – Brown

This Volumizing Eyebrow Pomade is the easiest way to fill and fluff your brows! The formula glides right on with the tiny brush, adding just the right amount of fullness and tint. “Brown” is super natural-looking — no angry caterpillar brows here, ha! It’s made with vegan ingredients, so it’s kind to your skin and the planet. Definitely a must-have for your everyday makeup bag!

MERIT Shade Slick Classics Tinted Lip Oil – Twin Set – Mauve

I’m officially a Tinted Lip Oil! The shade slicks are juicy, moisturizing, and never sticky. Plus, it’s packed with fatty acids to help strengthen your skin barrier. I love the rich pink. You can go light for a bit of color, or let it build to a darker hue.

Merit Beauty Products On My Wish List

MERIT Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer – Clay (Light Skin)

This Sheer Sculpting Bronzer gives you a hint of contour without making you look muddy. ✨ The formula is creamy and blends like a dream with no patchiness and no weird orange pigment! It uses sea daffodil extract to keep your skin barrier happy. Who knew bronzer could be nourishing?!). “Clay” is perfect for light skin tones, adding just the right depth to your face. Plus, it’s cruelty-free and won’t clog your pores!

MERIT Day Glow Dewy Highlighting Balm – Cava Champagne

This Day Glow Stick is amazing for highlighting your cheekbones. It’s a zero-sparkle highlighter that gives a gorgeous dewy finish without looking greasy. “Solstice” is that neutral bronze shade that makes you look kissed by the sun. Plus, it’s loaded with nourishing ingredients to keep your skin looking fresh and hydrated all day.
