Merit Beauty’s first six glowy, stripped-down products dropped in early 2021, and since then, the brand has added many new ones to its lineup. Merit’s repertoire includes not one but three Best of Beauty Award winners, AKA the ultimate Allure seal of approval.
Now that Merit Beauty Black Friday beauty deals have landed, we made a list of marked-down goodies you can grab now. Below is a collection of our Merit faves — including Best of Beauty winners and some newness — to help you get started. Happy shopping!
A couple of swipes of Merit’s Best of Beauty-winning Flush Balm adds the perfect subtle tint and dewy finish to your cheeks. Top it off with a bit of Bronze Balm for warmth, and you’ve got a radiant, natural complexion at (and thanks to) your fingertips. Once your complexion is set, add a layer of the Best of Beauty-winning Clean Lash Mascara to your lashes for a lifting effect, and call it a day.
The Minimalist‘s stick formulation is perfect for natural-looking coverage during chill, minimalist makeup days or touchups on the go. Use the Best of Beauty-winning Brush No.1 to blend it out and consider your face prepped.
Merit’s Great Skin Instant Glow Serum is a bi-phase liquid serum that plumps and refreshes like a dream. Allure commerce writer Sarah Han was impressed by how well this serum treated her dry skin while traveling to high-altitude Utah. “Somehow, my skin looked even smoother and glass-like than it had a few minutes prior,” she wrote in her glowing review.
Any set by Merit is a must. These curated combos will take you from the weekday to the runway using products whose simplicity does the heavy lifting. If you’re really looking to spoil yourself or a loved one, The Full Collection is endgame. It comes with every single Merit product, and during the sale, retails at a whopping $60 off (think of it like three free products).
