What the gurus are saying

Allie Glines rates it highly; Beyond50Skin and HotandFlashy passed. Beyond50Skin: "The Solo Shadows by Merit are really not my favorite shadows at all. They tend to dry out. They tend to get turn to dust. They desiccate within the pot."

"The Merit cream shadows won best cream shadow. These are the Merit Solo Shadows and I love them; I get the most use out of the shades Studio and Social. They were some of my favorites, so I wanted to mention them."

The #1 Makeup from September 2023!! 😍
"This is a cream to powder formula once it dries down it really doesn't budge as you can see I couldn't get it off this is also something that I feel like is living up to the hype"

THE BEST HIGH END MAKEUP OF 2023
"I've got some single shadows that I just love from Merit, the Solo Shadow in the shade Social, a purple color. This one looks so natural on me, it works great on its own or as a base, I tend to use it more as a base. Studio is what I use the most, a nice brown, and Social is that kind of purple taupe. I love these, they're so nice, they blend like a dream."
