MERIT Signature Lip — A lightweight lipstick that feels like a balm but still gives that polished color. It’s comfortable, not sticky, and easy to swipe on without a mirror. Perfect for an everyday “put together” lip.

Luminous Glow Foundation — Lightweight with a pretty, radiant finish that makes skin look smooth and healthy. It evens out tone without feeling heavy, and it builds nicely where you want more coverage. I love it for a glowy everyday base.

MERIT Balm Blush — A creamy, sheer blush that melts into skin for the most natural flush. I dab it on cheeks and blend with fingers in seconds—no patchiness, no fuss. Perfect for that fresh, glowy “no-makeup” makeup look.

NYX Eyebrow Pencil — Affordable, easy, and looks natural. The tip makes it simple to fill sparse spots with light, hair-like strokes, and it blends out nicely so brows don’t look drawn on. Great everyday brow pencil.

MERIT Lip Liner — The easiest “your lips but better” liner. It glides on smoothly, defines without looking harsh, and makes lipstick/gloss stay put longer. I lightly outline and blur inward, then top with balm or gloss for a natural, fuller look.

MERIT Bronze Stick — Super creamy and beginner-friendly for natural-looking warmth. I swipe it lightly on cheeks/forehead/jaw, then blend with a brush or fingers for that soft “just got a little sun” bronze. Builds nicely without looking muddy.

Maybelline Super Lock Brow Gel — Strong hold that keeps brows lifted and in place all day without getting crunchy. I brush it up through the front, then smooth the tail for a clean, laminated look that actually lasts.

Charlotte Tilbury Collagen Lip Gloss — High-shine, smoothing gloss that makes lips look fuller and more plump. It feels cushiony (not sticky) and gives that glossy, “pillow” effect that instantly elevates any lip combo.
