    friends, I was sick for a *very* long time and recovery has been so slow! We're finally getting the gears of the channel moving again starting with this simple little vid, and more content is coming this week. I wish there had not been such a long gap between videos but there was just no avoiding it. Thank you so much for your patience 💖

  • @shearsparkle
    @shearsparkle ปีที่แล้ว +85

    I think it’s so cool that you’ve (or Joe has) taken the time to color match the font of name of the lipstick to the shade of the lipstick. That’s just an amazing delicious extra step. I often am just listening, but it’s so cool to see the extra steps when I have the time to have my eyeballs on the screen.

    • @AlyCatM

    Did anyone else perked up at hearing "I've been testing a lot of eyeshadow lately"? No, just me? 😂
    As always, I love how thorough you are in these kinds of videos. Even if I'm not interested in the product itself or can't get it in my country, I enjoy the experience.

      I LOVE this formula. It's so slippy on the lips. It glides on like you wouldn't even believe and they're incredibly lightweight!

    L'Avenue has been my favorite lipstick this year, with 1990 as a very close second. I read about L'Avenue being a close dupe to Clinique's Black Honey which I adored before swapping over to cruelty free makeup. It's wonderful to have the shade in my rotation again (and in a superior formula imo). I'm also pale olive so seeing how the shades buffed out with your undertones was immensly helpful. This was the exact information I needed to try out Tiger and Cabo. It also helped me to decide to pass on Slip. I already have 1990 and Baby, so Slip would have always played second fiddle to those two. While I wish there would have been lip swatches shown here as well, your descriptions and swatches are magnificent as always. Thank you so much for the helpful review, I'll definely use your link to purchase, and I hope that you feel better soon!

    You keep featuring beautiful brands not available in Europe, this video helped me understand the colors better. I will look for dupes in my collection and in formulas available to me. Thank you!

    • @alicemlovegrove
      @alicemlovegrove ปีที่แล้ว +4

      It's probably not exactly the same, but I have Lisa Eldridge's Meet Me In Berlin, and I think I get strong Merit 1990 vibes from it. (I'm also not in N America so can't do a comparison.)

    • @alicemlovegrove
      @alicemlovegrove ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Maybe somewhere between Tiger and 1990?

    • @EvaLoVerde

    @theprousteffect9717 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Merit is coming for me. Tiger is the brick red, sort of dried blood color of my dreams, and those browns and nudes are divine. They do nuanced colors so well. I love a slightly sheer, balmy formula that really lasts as opposed to a full pigmented lipstick, so I may have to check these out.
    I really appreciate TH-camrs who know their collection and understand color well enough to make such helpful videos like this. Thank you!

  • @jasaratrunzo6965

  • @melliedavis2193
    @melliedavis2193 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    This was incredibly helpful! The comparison swatches especially helped me decide about purchasing, since I had a number of the comp lipsticks. It was easy to see texture differences too, and that detail, plus undertone comparison helped me makes some decisions as I had been trying to decide between several of the merit shades. ❤️

  • @akilasultana2368
    @akilasultana2368 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    This was beautiful. Tiger and 1990 are such nostalgic lipstick colours for me, my mother used to wear lipstick in very similar shades to them when I was younger on a day to day basis. Reminded me of those, playing with your mums makeup moments as a kid and that very strong makeup smell. ❤️Thank you for this video

  • @ElleEmm
    @ElleEmm ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Thank you so much for this video! I've been wearing Baby and Millennial basically non-stop this summer (both of which look similarly rosy on me, with Baby being sliiiightly more neutral) because it's such an incredible formula and so easy to wear, and this was very helpful- especially seeing comparisons between the brownish shades. Those have been the trickiest for me to "read" in static swatches with respect to their undertones, and seeing them sheered out next to each other is exactly what I needed. I'm definitely going to be picking up 1990 and L'Avenue for fall!

    Hannah, I have been thinking of purchasing a Merit lipstick for awhile now but was so overwhelmed by the color choices. I am so thankful for this video! It gave me the confidence to finally make a purchase. Thanks to this amazing and in depth review (complete with the great comps!) I bought "Baby"! Your comparison to the two Lisa Eldridge lipsticks, which I own is one of the things that really really helped me. So so many thanks!

    @thelipstickgal ปีที่แล้ว

    Glad you're feeling better. Thanks for helping me understand why I love these Merit lipsticks so much. I started out with Baby, and recently picked up L'Avenue. I wear them both ALL the time. They're exactly what I'm looking for in a comfortable, all day wear lipstick. They're not drying, they're not too heavy, they're not too pigmented, and the limited color range is perfection. Right now, I'm living my my Merit lipsticks, and the Luxuriously Lucent lipsticks from Lisa Eldridge. They're similar, but you're right: Lisa's are a bit more slippy and not as long wearing as Merit's formula. I love them both!

  • @mariafordon121
    @mariafordon121 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I wasn’t as excited about millennial as I was about baby but now that I’ve worn both I really like millennial! Baby is almost too much like my natural lip color. I’m sure it’s all about undertones but I’m still a newbie on figuring all that out

  • @warmywithcold
    @warmywithcold ปีที่แล้ว

    The video I needed!!!
    What’s extra interesting is that I’ve been taking your foundation color recommendations for years, and they always work out as superb matches! And yet, seeing how bright and orange Slip looked on you and how grey and chocolatey it looks on me, we defiantly have variations of undertones! It’s amazing how people using the same foundations can have such different coloring. Have you ever done you seasonal color analysis? I feel like you must be an Autumn of some sort, with your preferences for more muted chroma, warmer, and darker or more contrasting colors. I’d love to see a break down just focused on your color preferences (clothing and makeup) and what you think the reasonings might be.

It leans quite pink on me but it’s a soft rosey pink with a neutral undertone. Very beautiful. I think I will eventually pick up 1990. Love the neutral brown tone of that one. Tiger pulls slightly orange on me and if I had known it would I would have gotten 1990 instead.

    This is (I believe) the first video of yours I've watched, and I found it so thorough and helpful! Thank you. My two favorite shades were Baby and Millennial, but I feel I already have similar colors in my collection. Since this Merit formula is receiving reviews, I took down the names of those 2 shades for when it's time to replace one of my tried-and-true midtones.

    Please don’t apologize for taking time to recover. I really enjoyed this video. I own Baby, Slip and Tiger. I adore this formula. I find it nicely moisturizing. But, it doesn’t smudge or feel heavy. A big plus for me is it doesn’t have a strong smell or have a taste. Your swatches are wonderful.❤️

    Fashion is my current go to, and I enjoy it so much! This video is helpful, because it confirms that I should get another one when the time is right. It really is my best choice, and I am pretty sure the other shades will not work nearly as well for me.

    Hannah! I am so happy for you and all of us that you got this opportunity with Merit! btw, In store I swatched Baby next to Mac Viva Glam 2, my ultime fav nude, and they are identical! I already know I love the Merit formula as I have 1990 so I am over the moon excited for my birthday soon to ask for Baby from my babies :)

    Aaaahhh these are all so beautiful!! Tiger and 1990 look like they would be my perfect red and nude. I only own one lipstick rn so as soon as I get some disposable income I might invest in one of these, they're so tempting lol

    Funny you mention that slip can go orange, because my merit order just arrived a couple days ago, and I was so surprised when I tried on slip how cool toned it looked on me (light warm skin, East Asian heritage). I was *hoping* I’d get more of that orangey brown, since all my fave lip colors are orangey/peachy, but it goes to show that undertone makes a big difference!

    • @thejulietocean

      @@beepboop1391 I did also buy the merit lip oil in au natural and I *love* that color. that *does* have the peachy orange tone that I was hoping would be more prevalent in slip and the formula is lovely and moisturizing (but of course not as long wearing as a lipstick)

  • @saranpratt
    @saranpratt ปีที่แล้ว

    I bought Cabo and 1990 shortly after they first launched. It took me a while to warm up to the formula because of that in-between quality. Now I’ve almost panned Cabo and am halfway through 1990! I’ve been considering picking up another shade or two now that I’m in love with the formula, and this was so helpful for my decision on which to try. Thank you!

    This is a bit long-winded but I think these kinds of videos are incredibly valuable to both the consumer and the company who produces them. I wish I could explain this to those companies...
    I have been dying to get Merit lipstick ever since Hannah and Amanda Z started raving about them but i wasn't sure what shades to get, now I am. I'll have to remember to come back and order thru here when its time to buy but this is exactly the kind of video I look for when trying to decide on any new makeup purchase... and that's actually how I found every beauty-tuber that I watch because sometimes the quality of the video and the character of the creator hook me too. I think it's a great approach for building a channel's audience as well as selling the products.
    I can't go in store anymore and the photos of the products on the website almost never even come close to representing the true color of the product. I always look for videos that give examples of every shade because comparing them is an important part of understanding what the color really looks like and whether I would really prefer a shade that I wouldn't have otherwise considered. They are definitely valuable videos imo.
    If I were a makeup company, I would send the full spectrum of shades of a new product to whichever youtubers were making thorough, top quality videos like this because its such valuable advertising. Even if I'm not someone's follower, I'm just interested in a product and want to learn more... I never order new products without searching TH-cam for demos... and not stylized, oversaturated, who knows how they tweeked it ads... real people in regular light trying them out. I know I'm not the only one. So that "advertising" will reach more than just this channel's regular audience. And it won't only make an impact for the duration of the ad campaign either. Sometimes I check out products that have been out for years and the TH-cam videos are still there for me to reference.
    Plus, if the consumer is introduced to the product through a youtuber they already follow, you have the added benefit of the built in trust the youtuber has cultivated with their audience, which goes A LONG WAY towards sealing the deal on a sale. If one of these artists who I understand and appreciate says they love a product and it's the kind of thing I would use, I automatically want it... or if i cant make up my mind between 2 products, i will choose the one they prefer, because i know the value of their opinion. Almost every time I watch a beauty product demo by my favorite beauty-tubers, I go straight to sephora and add it to my likes and probably cart. Then it's just a matter of how much I can afford. Almost everything I purchase for hair, skin and makeup was first recommended by a youtuber I trust. Sure seems like worthwhile marketing to me.

    Best swatch video ever! I'm new to your channel and wish I'd found you sooner. I appreciate your ethos so much. I'd love to hear a deep dive into how the formulas/wear of Lisa Eldridge's (velvet matte) lipsticks compare to Merit's. They're pricey and I'm torn. I'm also a fair olive so your swatch videos are priceless for me. Keep up the great work!
