What Brand do you guys want to see a full face of next?! Merit is having a black Friday / Cyber Monday sale this year so I wanted to get this little guide up for you to reference because I've been such a huge fan of this brand!
I need that Givenchy powder😳 I just can’t bring myself to purchase it😉. Ooh this is hard to choose. For high end maybe Hourglass or It cosmetics. Drugstore version maybe wet n wild or covergirl👌🏼 This Merit look is Gorgeous! But you could do a full face of sh-t and still make it look good😊
I got the merit stick and I love it. It’s coconut free which incredible for my acne prone skin. It doesn’t have niacinamide or pore cloggers. I don’t care if it’s more per oz. buying this forever
I feel like Merit is so you! The products, the formulas, the aesthetic ✨ I’ve been resisting because I don’t need anything but maybeee I’ll treat myself to a lipstick for Christmas lol
The foundation stick is so good. I never use any other foundation since using them and I was a heavy foundation girl. Never met a foundation that looks sooooo natural.
LOVE Merit! Their mascara is one of the few mascaras I can wear without bothering my eyes, also it's totally budge proof (NEVER smudges), but is still easy to remove. FYI, my mascara doesn't have a bend in the wand so I think yours might have just been bent...it doesn't come that way..lol.
Good grief, this beauty line is what I have been waiting for!!! So unique from formula to tones. I already have my solid skincare Christmas list down. I will be putting all of these on my Birthday list. Thank you so much for reviewing these!! You clearly love the products, which makes me all the more excited for them in the future. Happy Thanksgiving, sweet lady!
Hard pass on the foundation stick. It has a tiny amount, even after Merit recently rereleased it to be larger after customer complaints. MUFE, Lancôme, Tom Ford sticks are all cheaper per oz. Fine if you only use it to spot conceal. The lipsticks are great though.
I totally agree, the price for the amount is insane. I remember when I was watching a Reveiw of the influencer (Tara Lynn). Her reaction when she realized the price was priceless!!!!!
I only use it to spot conceal personally - but wanted to share how it can be used as foundation. Just eyeballing my collection - almost every single concealer contained 6ML of product, the merit one
I have some of these products but I will try some of the ways you applied it! The foundation stick looks beautiful both ways on your skin. I’ve used it under the eyes and to spot conceal, but my mom has more texture and I think it would look great as full coverage on her.
Great video Dacey! I keep looking at the Merit products and can't decide if they're for me. You have me thinking about it again. I love a sheer lip. Opaque is very old looking, not juicy. I use the ilia tinted lip balm in Memoir with a lip liner, its my favorite look lately. I'll have to revisit the store to see if I can find a color match for the stick foundation. I used to use the Lancome stick but Id like to get a cleaner one. Have a great day!
Instantly influenced, love all of this and going to purchase! It looks so good! Do you notice any longevity issues with Merit? Or do you have to regularly re-apply bronzer and blush?
Not typically! The only thing I really have to touch up is under my eyes and my nose - but that isn't exclusive to Merit. I usually have to do that type of touch up regardless of brand
I love the aesthetic and idea of this brand. The stick is a little dry and I think it applies so beautifully over top of a good sunscreen like Altruist or using the highlight as a primer as you did here. Westman Atelier stick is a little more creamy but also seems to do better with using their highlight as a kind of primer underneath. I really like stick products for portability and ease of use! What I did recently discover though is the Salt New York sheer balm skin Tints. They are definitely more than a tint at least for me! But I can apply these and have really nice medium coverage with such a beautiful skin finish that using the highlighter underneath these sticks I mentioned, would give! But all on its own. This particular product is not a stick but rather in a pan. So I think of them similarly because they are both solid. I would really love to see Ili! I just got my first product from them, the multi stick in dreamer. It is absolutely beautiful on both cheeks and lips. Definitely a more moisturizing product than I am used to using on my cheeks, but one I can use on just bare skin which I do enjoy.
What a great break down…and your eyes look amazing with just adding the bronzer for dimension 😲 I know people talk about “my lips but better” but I’m looking for “my dark eye circles but better” 😂 seriously…looking for a way to hone in on my natural pigmentation. Eye shadows tend to look too makeup-y on me so maybe this creamy bronzer would do better for my dry skin 🤔
I bought the instant glow serum during the Sephora sale. I read then it was recommended you use it with the complexion stick. I bought it but haven’t used it yet. I was afraid it was too light and my first thought was to try it as a concealer. After watching this I think I just need to play around with it and maybe later get a darker shade. Your skin really looks beautiful.
Ok Dacey you’ve sold me on their products♥️♥️I’m ordering most of these very soon! I love how natural these look on the skin but still give enough coverage for day to day!! Such an awesome video♥️♥️You look gorgeous!
@@DaceyCash I have been loving their new blur lipsticks! I just got their slip tint and am really enjoying it’s just the shade/undertones are a bit tricky
I love Merit and glad you did a video on them! I’ve tried the Saie luminiferous, but am really interested in their bronzer and blushes. I really like Ilia too, and have more experience with their products
dacey! this is so gorgeous. i bought the signature lipstick in baby a few months back bc i had basically run out of/gotten rid of all my makeup after covid, everything was expired or just wasn’t my vibe anymore. i’ve really shifted to a more minimal, effortless look. I stumbled on merit and ohmygod I wear that lipstick everyday. I want to get more shades and also the bronzer and highlighter! I don’t know if the foundation would work on my oilier skin type but it’s STUNNING on you
Dacey, I would like to share that the formula for Merit lipstick is one of the best, no stick and nourish. I got Tiger in the sephora sale , I love it. ❤️ I want to try the terracotta blush and 1990 for my next lipstick.
I LOVE a complexion stick but the ones Merit had are not pale enough for me. the lightest one was orange on my skin 😢 but the LIPSTICKS are just wow. 10/10 I have four shades they are perfect sheered out or built up and are actually moisturizing (i have dry dry lips and oily skin)
definitely getting the blushes and glow serum next. i love merit. Im looking for a dupe for lipstick in 1990s and Tiger or even alternatives if anyone knows please
Hey Dacey, I was wondering how would you compare Merit baby to CT Very Victoria? I'm thinking of getting baby but I already own Very victoria. Thank You.
I love this brand. I haven’t bought a lot of makeup in 2 years and went crazy and bought their lipstick, lip oil and bronzer.. also the Mario palette you used as a mirror. I love their products. The packaging, natural style, fast.. I want more. 😅
Dacey can you pleaseee let me know now that time has passed if you think The great skin serum is worth it? I have such sensitive skin and worry about break out. But I'm so so dry it looks tempting. I would however want to use before foudation so wanted to know your feedback 💛Thank you
My personal favorites are the blush, the lipstick, hopefully the holiday favorites of Gingerbread man & Gingerbread girl. Also the eye palette in pumpkin spice! Thank you so much
They unfortunately don't have international shipping or at least shipping options to Europe. I would have loved to try their lip oils, and I rarely add new products to my collection. I still don't understand why brands don't work harder on providing international shipping, e.g. Glossier, who people have BEGGED for years, it's not even funny. Don't be like Glossier, Merit, please, lol. :D

I love these kind of natural looks and Merit seems to have nailed it. Thank you for sharing!
Excited to see Merit finally on someone's radar. I LOVE Merit!
The foundation stick is so good. I never use any other foundation since using them and I was a heavy foundation girl. Never met a foundation that looks sooooo natural.
The glowiest prettiest skin like blushes! Terracotta is my fave! Need to try some more goodies!
🫶🤍
hello dacey, super video, i love lipsticks, very beautiful natural makeup
I love the way you do your makeup! So effortlessly cool! Definitely have made me want to go buy more of the blushes! They’re the best!
Whats your favorite shade?!
LOVE Merit! Their mascara is one of the few mascaras I can wear without bothering my eyes, also it's totally budge proof (NEVER smudges), but is still easy to remove. FYI, my mascara doesn't have a bend in the wand so I think yours might have just been bent...it doesn't come that way..lol.
The complexion stick is stunning! 😍
I agree! Have you tried it?
@@DaceyCash Not yet, but I sent the hubby a link so he can buy me stuff during the sale 😆

Thanks for sharing, I’ve been curious about this brand it looks stunning 💖
you should do a full face of rare beauty
Gorgeous look as always! What is the blending brush you used with the bronzer?

That slip lip stick is beautiful
You’re so pretty, it makes me want to cry sometimes 😂
😂❤
Love love love Merit!! Thank you for the video
how do you feel the bronzer compares to the rare beauty bronzer stick? trying to decide between the two!
I have been wanting to try this brand. I wanted to see how it performed. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much!

Love your input and video! Your complexion matches mine so I love seeing products on you and I love merit
Okay, seeing this convinced me. Ordered!
Oh this video just made me fall in love with this brand, I need EVERYTHING 😍
definitely getting the blushes and glow serum next. i love merit. Im looking for a dupe for lipstick in 1990s and Tiger or even alternatives if anyone knows please
Ugh these lip colors 😍
love love love them!
have you tested the lasting power of the complexion stick? I have oily skin and i'm worried it would just melt off by the end of the day
Thank you so much...this has helped with shades and overall decisions. It looks amazing on you, and I think it'll suit my lazy girl makeup ways 😅
What lipliner did you apply with Bel Aire??? What a stunning combo!
Hey Dacey, I was wondering how would you compare Merit baby to CT Very Victoria? I'm thinking of getting baby but I already own Very victoria. Thank You.
Baby is much more pink! And more sheer, creamier finish.
@@DaceyCash Thank You
What a lovely human being! They should hire you 💕
Oh man I wish this video was during the saphora sale cause I literally just added the whole Merritt line to my cart 😂
Hello….Merit has a holiday set with 3 blushes. They’re smaller but such a great buy to test 3 shades. The shades are Beverly Hills, Cheeky and Mars.
There is a Black Friday / Cyber Monday sale on Merit's website! x
How long does this last? I loved this review!
I love this brand. I haven’t bought a lot of makeup in 2 years and went crazy and bought their lipstick, lip oil and bronzer.. also the Mario palette you used as a mirror. I love their products. The packaging, natural style, fast.. I want more. 😅
Thanks for reviewing Dacey! You've convinced me to try these Merit oils and lipsticks! Yes to an all Ilia video please! 😍❤️
I came here to look at the glow oil and you sold me on everything else 😍😍
Dacey can you pleaseee let me know now that time has passed if you think The great skin serum is worth it? I have such sensitive skin and worry about break out. But I'm so so dry it looks tempting. I would however want to use before foudation so wanted to know your feedback 💛Thank you
Do you think someone with dry skin can use the complexion stick?
Hi Mandy
Hi, which shade do you use during summer? Is it caramel of kaki?
Love all the products! ❤ and would love to see the Ilia review
Do you mind listing what brushes you used please? Thabk you.
had to use my merit stick while getting ready this morning and watching this! love watching your videos! ❤
It's so good! What shade are you?
Would you recommend any of these products for bridal makeup? :)
Unfortunately cannot get Merit in Australia 😢
Can’t wait for Merit to come to the UK!!! 🎉 Love this look 🥰
Milk Cream Bronzer vs Merit Bronzer??? I’m considering to buy either these two…
Can you do a full face of Westman Atelier?
I gosh! Now I want to buy all the lipsticks ❤
really like the vibe of this band.
Loved this video! And, I love your videos and level of consistency. Would love to see a video on ilia.
Do you think the bronzer shade Siena is good or would you go with Leo?
I personally haven't swatched Leo!
BRB buying all my Merit makeup now
When you use your sponge is it damp?
Hello, I really love all your videos! Could you do a video testing all Too Faced products?
Sure! What are your personal favorites from Too Faced?
My personal favorites are the blush, the lipstick, hopefully the holiday favorites of Gingerbread man & Gingerbread girl. Also the eye palette in pumpkin spice! Thank you so much
The blush from Too Face and the liquid melted lipsticks!!
i need their lip products! 💋
If I have pigmented lips will they show through with the lipstick?
Perhaps, but the formula is buildable so you can control the amount of opacity you want
Please do Westman Atelier ❤
The Foundation stick is too drying for my skin. My skin runs normal to dry. I do like their lip stick and lip oil.
They unfortunately don't have international shipping or at least shipping options to Europe. I would have loved to try their lip oils, and I rarely add new products to my collection. I still don't understand why brands don't work harder on providing international shipping, e.g. Glossier, who people have BEGGED for years, it's not even funny. Don't be like Glossier, Merit, please, lol. :D
I’d love to see a full face of saie!
What are you favorites from the brand?!
The customer service there is awful! No phone slow response to email and no way to return ugh
Saie please
I wish they would finally be available in Germany 🥹😩
🤞
Youuu look like cheryl bossom from riverdale 🫨😍❗️❗️❗️
I’d love to see a full face of Vieve!
What are some of your favorites from the line? I've never tried it before!
❤️❤️❤️
You look like Kelly Clarkston!
The complexion stick is suuuuper expensive for the amount! Bronzer is gorg tho
Bronzer is soo gorg!!
