I’ve been really enjoying cream blush lately. after trying westman atelier and victoria beckham beauty, I decided to try Merit beauty.
Flush Balm Cheek Color
Merit Beauty Flush Balm is a cream tint that melts into skin for lit-from-within color that stays flush all day.
What it is
A foolproof, flexible balm that deposits a creamy, transparent veil of color to let your skin show through. Formulated in partnership with esthetician Biba de Sousa, whose No List includes 72 potentially acne-triggering ingredients that we eliminate.
What it does
Microfine pigment powders deposit a touch of color, without covering up natural skin texture. Light, balmy finish leaves a long-lasting glow that’s never cakey. Low weight emollient won’t clog pores. Vitamin E conditions skin.
The packaging and price
Merit Flush Balm is a dome shaped cream blush balm housed in a container with 43% recycled plastic, and ships in Merit signature shipment packaging that is either recyclable, reusable or compostable. It retails at USD28.

MERIT Flush Balm Swatches & Review
I picked up two shades of flush balm, Beverly Hills and Cheeky. Beverly Hills was out of stock for a while and I finally waited until they are in stock. See the arm swatches below
The Color pay-off of these two shades are really well. The texture and the domed shape application is perfect. A simple swipe, lightly roll on the cheek will give me a subtle blush without being too heavy or greasy. I love how Beverly Hills is giving a soft peach glow that instantly makes me feel like in a sunny day. This shade pulls a little red on my skin rather than the photos on Merit website.
On the other hand, Cheeky is a Cool pink shade, that is giving the natural flush look. The effect is like the healthy flush blush after an hour work out routine. It is that natural. I would recommend these Flush Balm to anyone.
Other Merit Beauty I recommend
Merit Beauty recently came out with different combination sets. I think these are perfect for trying their products. Especially the Color Set for cheek & lips. I love Merit beauty tinted lip oil and I will share my review and swatches on the next post.
