Obsessed with these

Okay, so I've been absolutely obsessed with Merit Beauty lately, especially their lip liners. If you're anything like me, finding that perfect lip liner can be a quest, but Merit has truly impressed me. Their lip liners feel incredibly creamy, last well, and just give that effortlessly chic look. I've collected a few shades and knew I had to share my thoughts and, of course, some Merit lip liner swatches with you all! Let's dive into some of my favorite shades, including the ones you've probably heard all the buzz about. First up is Merit Bespoke. This shade is a beautiful, warm beige-pink that I find myself reaching for almost daily. It's truly a 'my lips but better' color for many, offering a natural definition without being too stark. If you're looking for a versatile everyday shade, the Merit Bespoke lip liner is definitely one to try. Then there's Merit Mayfair. This one leans a bit more towards a cool-toned rose, perfect for adding a touch of sophisticated color. It pairs wonderfully with a sheer gloss or even worn all over the lips for a soft matte finish. For those who love a classic, slightly deeper nude, Merit Beverly Hills lip liner is a dream. It's a gorgeous warm brown-nude that adds a lovely warmth to the complexion. I found it especially flattering for defining the cupid's bow. I also picked up Merit Sportif. This is a vibrant, dusty rose shade that really brightens up the face. It’s not quite as neutral as Bespoke but still incredibly wearable for daytime. The Merit Sportif liner feels just as comfortable as the others, making it a joy to apply. And for those seeking something a little different, I've also tried Coupe, which is a lovely deeper mauve, and Brownstone, a rich, earthy brown that screams fall vibes, though I wear it year-round! I'm still eyeing Capricorn – I hear it’s a stunning deep berry. I love how these liners glide on without tugging, which is a huge plus for me. One of my favorite ways to use these Merit lip liners is to line my lips just slightly over my natural lip line, then fill them in a bit before topping with a clear or complementary colored balm/gloss. They also work beautifully as an all-over lip color, especially if you're going for a subtle, long-wearing look. The formula is truly exceptional – not too drying, not too slippery, just right. Overall, if you're dipping your toes into Merit Beauty or just searching for high-quality, easy-to-wear lip liners, I can't recommend these enough. From the popular Bespoke merit lip liner to the more adventurous shades, there's something for everyone. They truly live up to the hype and have become a staple in my makeup bag!
