Shoppers are raving about this beauty holy grail as 5-star reviews pour in. One customer beams: "Best concealer I have tried I like the natural ingredients and does not look cakey."
More accolades come from this buyer, who raves: "I have been very faithful to my previous foundation for many year, this is my new one. I’ve ordered it twice now. Looks very natural and clean, “no makeup” look with good coverage. The color finder (where you put in another brand you use ) was a perfect match. I like a glowy, fresh look but have some acne and scarring I like to cover up. Blends very well and doesn’t cause break outs."
And another shopper shares: "My favourite foundation yet! I was a bit hesitant on a foundation stick but this has amazed me!!! I like a medium coverage and it’s so easy to obtain with a small amount! Game changer."
A fourth writes: "Hands down my on the go favourite item! I don’t have a lot of time in the morning so this makes my routine easy without having that cakey build up other brands have with my skin. The application process is effortless and my skin is incredibly happy… even after I’ve forgotten to wash my face by the end of the night."
Songs of praise come from this Merit fan, who gushes: "Having a concealer and foundation stick is the best invention ever. I will never switch back to any other foundation. This one is so natural looking while actually covering any pimples or imperfections! If you need a new foundation or have been wanting to try this one, this is your sign to try it! I love color Linen for all over but I also have color Silk when I want to do a little bit lighter color under my eyes!"
