I love a full beat, I love going barefaced, I love #cleanmakeuplook, and I'm finding I also am really into a new middle ground kind of look--makeup that feels like nothing, but packs a punch. honestly, that's @merit. for this look I used their complexion stick in "bisque", their (new!) bronze balm in "seine", and the cult fave shade slick in "au naturel". full disclosure, I was not impressed with the bronzer the first time I tried it, and I think that's because of a few things: firstly, I wore it over a really heavy foundation. this is a BALM, I was used to a drier, heavier formula. I also thought I wanted a darker shade, but this color mimics a natural tan for me. secondly, I initially used it with a beauty blender, I think a dense brush just lightly tapping works 100% better. when I used it with similar minimal products, and found the best method for application, I really got to see how beauty and effective this formula is. #meritbeauty #meritbronzebalm #minimalist #minimalcleanmakeup #merit #newbronzer #newmakeupproducts #naturalmakeuplooks #lightcoveragemakeup #softgirlmakeup #bronzingmakeup
