And on the right is a picture of Digital Beauty Writer, Naomi Jamieson, wearing the entire set on her face/ alongside the words ' Tried and Tested' and in a grey and white marbled template with a rose-brown blush swatch.

Boasting everything from eyeshadow and mascara to the chicest of rose-brown lip liners, the Merit Winter 2025 set has the power to instantly elevate your look this season. In fact, it might become all you'll ever need for simple but sophisticated all-occasion makeup - speaking from experience.

I'll confess that I've never been bothered by beauty sets, no matter the discount they offer. There's usually only ever one shade or product that I want, surrounded by things I don't, making the deal feel somewhat pointless anyway. Merit's 'The Winter 2025 Set,' however, swiftly made a fan out of me, with every single product becoming a holy grail in my collection. If you're unfamiliar with Merit Beauty products, they focus on minimalism. They're designed to be 'impossible to mess up,' with flexible, multipurpose or easy-to-blend formulas that slot seamlessly into your everyday routine.
