MERIT Signature Lip Is The Best Clean Lipstick

You’re gonna want to add MERIT Signature Lip to your Sephora cart, ASAP.

A lipstick is the cherry on top for any makeup look. Take a natural look and throw on a red lip for subtle glam, or create a monochromatic cheek + lip. And, once you’ve found the perfect formula, you’re sure to buy it in multiple colors. That’s how I feel about MERIT Signature Lip. The formula is nourishing and the shades are stunning. Is. this the longest lasting lipstick in my collection? Not quite, but it is one of my favorites. Let me explain.

Promises vs. Performance: Dry lips rejoice with this MERIT lipstick.

Hydrating, lightweight, and buildable are just the main claims of MERIT Signature Lip. MERIT Beauty says this is “lipstick you can live in” that is “so lightweight, you’ll forget you’re wearing it.” The satin lipstick provides sheer, but buildable color that can be layered for a saturated look or sheered out for a tint of color. Its hydrating formula is infused with plant derived squalane and sunflower seed oil for long lasting moisture, papain enzyme to soothe lips, and stabilized vitamin C to help diminish the appearance of fine lines.

Guys, I’ve found my new favorite everyday lipstick. MERIT Signature Lip has the most beautiful formula, perfect amount of pigment, and that juicy lip look I love. The bullet lipstick is easy to apply thanks to its slippy texture and sheer formula. I love that I can apply it without a mirror for a sheer wash of color or layer it for a more saturated, bold lip.

One of my favorite things about this lipstick is how it doesn’t cling to, settle, or exaggerate any lip imperfections from fine lines to dryness to flakiness. It truly is the hydrating, forget-its-even-there lipstick MERIT promises. And, although it isn’t the longest lasting, it’s one I don’t mind reapplying because the formula is just that good. If I had to guess, I get a solid 4 hours of wear from this lipstick – if I don’t eat.

How It Compares: MERIT Signature Lip is one of the most comfortable lipsticks.

If you hate the feeling of lipstick, love the feeling of tinted lip balms, but want more pigment than a balm has to offer — MERIT Signature Lip is the one to check out. The formula is creamy, glides on effortlessly, and has the perfect amount of pigment for an everyday lipstick. But, don’t let the sheer formula fool you – it can be built up for more saturated color or layered with a lip liner or gloss for some extra oomph. While this isn’t the most long wearing lip color, the formula is so nice I don’t mind reapplying periodically.
