    What the gurus are saying

    This cream shadow applies in one swipe with just a finger smudge, making it perfect for quick five-minute makeup looks. Reviewers praise its soft neutral-lavender tone, which works both as a standalone shadow and as a subtle base for layered looks. The texture is forgiving enough to run under the lower lash line without fussing.

    "This is a huge surprise makeup favorite. It's the Solo Shadow in the color Social by Merit. These shadows tend to dry out. I've been trying really hard to take care of this. Make sure that lid snaps because I'm absolutely loving this color. I never thought I would love this deep of a plum color. But if I top it off with a satin color over the mobile lid, I've been loving it."

    "I was thinking that I would use a one-and-one eyeshadow and this is the one by Merit and this is in Social. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to apply with my finger, literally smudge it on, and that's what they say to do, just smudge. It's a single color shadow smudge and done, which is perfect for my no makeup makeup days. I love a minimalist fast five minute makeup."

    "I'm wearing their cream solo shadow in the shade Social kind of all over underneath that on top, but it's the most beautiful glitter. I'm loving it so much and I definitely think this is their most reflective glitter out of the bunch, which I love. Like a good punch when it comes to an eye topper. This is their prettiest shade, I think."

    "I'm going in with the Solo Shadow from Merit in the shade Social. I told you guys I wanted to do something a little bit like lavender and I felt like this would be a good base for what I had in mind because it kind of gives a neutral lavender look. It's not like a super pastel vibrant lavender but it gives that feeling. So I wanted to just apply this all over as my base shadow. I'm also going to take a bit of that and just run under the lower lash line."
