Merit has launched a new ‘Bronze Balm’ a new bronzer offering that is both translucent and highly buildable for varying coverage possibilities. Merit is advertising the ‘Bronze Balm’ as a hybrid version of the widely popular ‘Flush Balm,’ which the brand previously released as a blush offering.
The balm itself boasts a formula that is enriched with vitamin E and ingredients that are soft on acne-prone skin. Due to its long-wear formula, consumers can enjoy applying the product to the skin knowing that the product will stay in place for as long as needed. The ‘Bronze Balm’ is highly versatile, coming in five shades that can be applied on top of skin tint, foundation, or bare skin. It is highly blendable and has a sheer finish.
Merit’s ‘Bronze Balm’ launches on August 16 via Sephora and Merit Beauty’s online and physical stores.
