Hey WWW readers,

It’s managing editor Caitie Schlisserman coming straight to your inbox. If 2020 taught me anything, it’s that less is more. I don’t need a makeup bag full of products when I only use the same few items. All I need are well-edited essentials from brands that give me more with less, which is exactly why I’ve become hooked on Merit. The clean beauty line is a minimalist's dream: Not only are the products natural-looking, but they’re also easy to use and make me feel good about myself. The face makeup is made with skin-loving ingredients like plant-based squalane, vitamin B5, and antioxidants, so your skin really does look better while wearing them. If you’re looking to streamline your own makeup routine, here are my go-to picks from Merit that just dropped on Sephora.com and will be in select Sephora U.S. stores beginning February 19.
