Disclaimer: I’ve never been a big eyeshadow wearer. Mostly because I find eyeshadow palettes intimidating, all the color options overwhelming and the application generally kind of annoying. Merit’s new Solo Shadows are none of these things. First, they’re single pot eyeshadows made for touch ups and one-and-done looks , with a cream to powder formula that can be applied using a finger or a brush .
Apart from its user-friendly formulas, Merit is known for its luxe, intentional packaging, and the Solo Shadows don’t disappoint. The shiny gold caps are stunning, of course, and designed with a genius twist-lock so you’ll never have to worry about them making a mess in your purse or makeup bag. It’s the little things, after all!I was immediately impressed by the smooth, creamy texture and the amount of pigment I could pull with a single swipe.
