Friends and family often bring up Benefit’s Minimalist Complexion Stick as one of their favorite products because it can be used as a foundation, concealer, and contour stick. I respect their opinion, but I think the strongest proof of a product’s effectiveness is that beauty editors agree with it. We try so many products that it takes something special to stand out. But despite different skin tones, skin types, and makeup styles, eight InStyle editors (including myself) love Martha Stewart’s concealer/foundation.

The Minimalist Complexion Stick comes in 30 colors (10 recently added) and has a light to medium coverage formula. I like that I don’t have to prep my skin before applying it. The glycerin in the formula keeps your skin hydrated and leaves it buttery smooth. Commerce writer Jaylin Taylor says, “It doesn’t feel sticky and easily covers blemishes and redness with just a few coats.” “My skin looks much less uneven in just a few seconds without using a mirror,” says beauty commerce writer Sophie Wirth. Its time-saving aspect is highly praised. “It only takes 10 minutes of your daily routine and the pill stays all day long,” says commerce writer Taylor Jeffries.

Another reason I love Merit’s Complexion Stick is because it mimics my skin. When I wear this, people sometimes mistake me for no makeup and ask me about my magical skincare routine. Amazon Commerce Writer Kyla Sargent says, “It melts into the skin like butter, blends easily, and looks very natural.” It’s your natural skin, but better and more flawless.
Bored beauty editors, celebrities like Martha Stewart and Demi Moore, and thousands of shoppers swear by Merit’s Minimalist Complexion Stick. Visit Merit to experience the well-deserved hype first-hand and read more about the brand’s bestsellers below.
