I’m a matte lipstick hater. I wish I wasn’t—along with lip stains, they’re probably the longest-lasting form of lip color on the market. But my lips are prone to chapping, dryness, and bleeding, especially in the winter. So, I’ve spent the greater part of a decade ironing out the best routine for soft lips and using my tried and true lip masks, balms, and serums. But I’m a sucker for a good Merit product (the tubing mascara is easily one of my favorites), so I made an exception to my rule and put the new Signature Lip Blush to the test.
If this product sounds familiar, it’s because it’s not really new. The formula was originally teased in the 2023 limited edition holiday set (if you know, you know), but per popular demand, it’s being reintroduced to the Merit range as a permanent fixture in the collection.
