Though we’re welcoming the arrival of spring with open arms, our skin is yet to get the memo (anyone else looking that wintery shade of grey?). Unless you have a week in the Med booked anytime soon (not us) you’ll be after a quick face-freshening fix. MERIT’s viral Flash Balm Blush is THE product for the job – and they’ve just launched 5 new shades bringing the range to 13 (unlucky for some, but not for beauty fans).

Founder, Who What Wear’s Katherine Power, launched the curated range of minimalist make-up in the UK in 2023 – and we’ve been heart eyes emoji for that gold packaging ever since. Beauty editors raved about the super-chic branding, and easy-to-use products.

This creamy tint has taken the metaverse, and the world, by storm – and for good reason. Not only are these chubby, blush balms lightweight, super easy to use, and offer buildable coverage depending on how deep you wanna glow, all MERIT make-up is cruelty and fragrance free, vegan and suitable for sensitive skins. Whether you’re after a peachy flush, sun-kissed smoulder or ruddy rouge, there’s a colour match for your skin tone and look.

It’s no wonder it has amassed a number of celeb fans – we see you Cameron Diaz, Bella Hadid, Zoe Saldana and your lit-from-within glow – as well as making it the feature of many influencers GRWM make-up tutorials (and the soon-to-be holy grail of your make-up bag).

For Muddy personally, we’ll be taking one in every colour! Race ya to the check out!
