Trying the Flush Balm Shade Extensions

As a busy working mom with two toddlers, I appreciate minimal makeup because it allows me to look and feel great without taking up too much of my valuable time. The effort of putting on a full face of makeup can be time-consuming and overwhelming, but minimal makeup is quick and easy to apply, allowing me to manage my busy schedule. I will be sharing details about the products the Merit Beauty team sent to me to try. I was given the chance to pick two products from the Flush Balm collection and I chose the colors Fox and Persimmon.

Flush Balm Shade Extensions

Merit has added 4 new shades to their line up; Stockholm, Aprés, Fox and Persimmon. The new shades were created to ensure that there is a shade of Flush Balm for everyone and every occasion. This product is vegan, cruelty-free, and comes in recyclable packaging. The Flush Balm has a soft texture that can be layered to achieve the desired level of intensity. It is versatile and can be used on multiple areas of the face such as the cheeks, lips, and eyes to create a unified look with a long-lasting radiant finish.

Final Thoughts

This is my first time trying the Flush Balm product out and let me tell you, it has quickly become one of my favorites! To start off with, the packaging is very eye catching and beautiful. The application is so easy and the pigmentation is great. I used it on my cheeks and lips, and I’m excited to try it as an eyeshadow next. As soon as I have the chance to try it out, I’ll be sure to give an update on how well it works, and how long it lasts.

One of the things I love most about this product is the radiant and healthy-looking glow it gives my skin. It’s a subtle but noticeable difference. This will be a great addition to my makeup routine!

How to apply?

I just used my fingertips to blend the product in.

They launched in 2021. It’s a fairly new brand but you can find them at Sephora!
