Set to be a lightweight, bi-phase serum that instantly hydrates and plumps skin for a healthy glow, this product did provide some glow and a mild bronzed finish, but Charlotte commented that the overall look was closer to being shiny than a 'lit from within' glow.
The product that didn't meet expectations was the Great Skin Instant Glow Serum, which didn't add much of a tint of glow compared to other products, including Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Serum.
Merit's Great Skin Moisturiser is a priming moisturiser set to prep the skin for makeup application and wear.
It's also pitched as a moisturiser that helps soothe the skin barrier, provides hydration throughout the day (ideal in the winter), and makes the skin feel firmer and more elastic in just one week.
With five products, including skin prep products to blush and bronzers, on the chopping block, make-up artist Charlotte put Merit's icons to the test to see whether they're worth adding to your own make-up collection.
