I've always been a lover of lightweight, liquid foundations, but lately all my former favourites have been sidelined in favour of one complexion stick that has not only shaved minutes off my morning routine but has earned me a flood of compliments on my "radiant" skin. Their words, not mine, though I'd be lying if I said I didn't agree...
Now, anyone who knows me can attest to my love of makeup sticks. I use them for nearly every step of my routine as not only are they incredibly convinient but they also tend to be very creamy and hydrating. As someone with fairly dry and temperamental skin, these are exactly the sort of formulas I need to layer over my best face moisturiser, to maintain a dewy gleam. And speaking of which, the first and most important stick in my roster goes by the name of The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Stick. It's Merit Beauty's hero product, and has actually just marked five years since its launch - a date I now celebrate too, as if it were a loved one's birthday.
