Credit: Mytour / Reese HerringtonI could spend hours praising my unwavering love for Merit Beauty. This minimalist brand is celebrated for its simple yet highly effective makeup and skincare staples, which grace the beauty collections of countless editors. The beloved Flush Balm was crowned our top choice for the best blush for fair skin, while the velvety Minimalist Stick earned the title of best stick foundation according to our experts.

Brush No.1
MeritA standout feature of Merit’s products is their versatility—they can be applied with almost any tool, even your fingers. While a brush isn’t a must, Brush No. 1 is a personal go-to. I rely on it for seamless application and blending across my entire face, and I’ve even purchased extras to keep in my travel kit.
Bronze Balm Sheer Bronzer
MeritThis stick bronzer offers a sheer application but is effortlessly buildable and incredibly user-friendly. If you struggle with defining your cheekbones or understanding your face shape, this stunning balm is forgiving and far more intuitive than many other bronzers available.
