What the gurus are saying

This stick's blendable, creamy texture resists creasing and caking even without primer, making it easy to skip primer on warmer days. It earns praise as a versatile choice for everything from sun damage to under-eye work, with a formula that melts into skin without full coverage, keeping natural complexion visible.

"The Merit Complexion Stick in Oak is like a cross between a skin tint and a concealer. It does not have full foundation coverage, but it evens out discoloration and redness while letting your natural skin shine through. I have been testing it without a primer and I am not getting any creasing, caking or splitting, so skipping a layer is nice for summer."

"The minimalist complexion stick makes an absolutely incredible concealer but it also sits beautifully everywhere else on the face. I sometimes use it on sun damage, the occasional blemish, under the eyes, on my neck if I get a little bit of a shaving cut. It's this really nice creamy ultra blendable texture that just kind of melts into the skin. It is such an incredible product I highly recommend that one."
