MERIT BEAUTY Flush Balm | Review & Swatches

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.

Terracotta : Warm Crème (Recommended for fair to medium skin tones)
Beverly Hills : Soft Peach
Cheeky : Cool Pink
Raspberry Beret : Deep Berry
Mood : Soft Burgundy

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.
