Somewhere between foundation, concealer, and skincare lives a little stick that has quietly become a cult favorite — The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Stick from Merit.
I'm loving it, already on my second stick. I am the color Bone.
What It Is
The Minimalist is exactly what its name promises: a multi-use complexion stick designed to even out skin tone, blur imperfections, and enhance your natural skin — not cover it up.
Think your skin, but better. The coverage is simply amazing but doesn't feel heavy. This may be my holy grail!
Why It Works
This is makeup created for real life — quick mornings, busy days, and faces that don’t want to look “done,” just polished.
What I love:
-
Light-to-medium, buildable coverage
-
A creamy, blendable texture that melts into skin
-
A clean, nourishing formula with fatty acids and antioxidants
-
Can be used as a foundation, concealer, or spot corrector
Swipe it on where you need it, blend with your fingers, and go.
No brushes required. No complicated routine. I've applied it with primer and just over moisturizer. The coverage lasts all day.
The Finish
Natural. Skin-like. Effortless.
This is the kind of makeup that doesn’t announce itself — it just makes people say,
“Your skin looks great.”
Who It’s Perfect For
-
Anyone who prefers a minimal makeup routine
-
Busy women who want one product that does it all
-
Those who love a fresh, modern, unfussy beauty look
-
Anyone tired of foundation that feels like foundation
Final Thoughts
The Minimalist is one of those rare products that earns a permanent place in your makeup bag. Thoughtful, wearable, and refreshingly uncomplicated — exactly what modern beauty should be.
If you’ve ever wanted a complexion product that feels more like skincare and less like makeup, this just might be the one.
