This is the BEST video I've seen on these shadows....maybe I've ever seen as a review of any product ever. Thank you!

I swear I’m not lazy but the thought of unscrewing and rescrewing all of those lids is my reason for passing on buying them. There’s gotta be a still protective yet easier packaging form.

I absolutely adored Merit’s marketing campaign for these shadows! Thanks for the swatches, Matilda 🥰 Social, Mid-Century and Viper are calling my name 😩

Would have preferred these in stick form.😊

Thank you, Matilda! My experience has been the same - pretty long wearing but some creasing in the hood of my eye. Your swatching game is ON POINT!

AndreeAli MUA used the hunter green as a liner that she beautifully winged out in a gorgeous less-is-more color. These are beautiful. Thank you for sharing this video, Marilda❤

Totally agree - skip the eye primer! Thank you for such a thorough review!

Didn’t even know about this release! Thanks for all the swatching and breaking down of this product! So well down and so well worded, said, and described! I might have to check these out! A splendid video as always 🫶

“Ready to win a 20 penalty shootout at the World Cup” - what a legendary burn! Loved it!!

Wow, the model is stunning!! I'm going to pick up one or two of these, fabulous video!!

I have been SO looking forward to your review of this. I went to Sephora and almost ALL of the colors were sold out, which I was so happy to see for them! I still managed to find a rogue unit of Studio and Midcentury, which I thought were perfect for my skin tone. (Vachetta was a bit too yellow, and Brun was beautiful, but I'll probably get that one later.) You're right, the biggest thing to note is the learning curve with the packaging. They are very hard to open and I would have preferred a stick version, to be honest!

I am so happy I found your chanel! It has to be the most satisfying one when it comes to makeup. So well edited, so nicely filmed and so well spoken! I stoped buying makeup long time ago, and your videos are the that dopamine rush I need, without making the clutter and spending money. Thank you!

I wish they'd released a super dark brown/nearly black shade for inclusivity with the neutrals, and maybe a deep burgundy, or something.

I was dying to see reviews of these very appealing pots of color, and they don’t disappoint. I’m interested in Studio and Vachetta, but I’m not wearing eyeshadow very often lately, so not sure I want to spring for them.

The only review I was waiting for! I’m definitely going to get Studio. I wanted to see your swatches before buying. Thanks ❤

I don't know why im watching this video, i don't wear eyeshadow nor do i have any intention of buying this product hut something about the thumbnail and the colours just made me click. I forgot how much i love this channel ❤

I do love Merit's products and the description you mentioned of someone who rarely wears eyeshadow or has little to no makeup skills basically describes me to a T. If they had a dark or bolder red I definitely would be purchasing, but for now I'll keep these in the back of my mind and consider one of them if I decide to treat myself.

I’m loving these! I especially love them smudged into my lower lash line. They stay so well despite my watery eyes.

Matilda! So excited to see you on my KZfaq again! Once again, EXCELLENT video, Merit eyeshadows and blushes are a must-have in my opinion~

I love your artistic presentation. Lovely!

Been waiting for this review!! I absolutely love this brand and I can’t wait to try these 😍😍

im a light medium with neutral undertones - these days i don’t really wear eyeshadow unless it’s some type of brown over the lid, almost like an eye contour to deepen the appearance of my hooded eyes, gives me a bit more ~mystique~. i’d love to pick up something slightly warmer and more rosy like the studio shade especially for autumn 👀

As I’ve gotten older, my eye primers don’t work as well until I got some Merit cream eyeshadows. I did not crease at all and wore them on a humid day- removed at night. I plan to pick up some more ❤

Love merit products .These one and done shadows are lovely .Matilda , I love your videos.Your nails are perfection and you always make me smile .

I’m passing on this because it’s “clean beauty” so it lacks some preservatives. I know I won’t be able to use it up before it expires.

❤❤❤love these shadows so much ! Easy to apply and very long lasting Thank you for this precise video

I've been waiting for this review and you covered everything! Thank you Matilda, amazing video as always!

I love these eyeshadows. They work great on my mature eyes and fit my minimalist makeup routine perfectly. I have studio and vacatta and want social and brun and viper.

full name on its sephora birth certificate 😭 so funny i loved that ty

Absolutely love these eyeshadows. I have all 9 shades. I love you can be a minimalist or a maximalist with the same product. Great video 👏🏽👏🏽. Thank you 😊. Happy New Year 🎊🎈. Cheers 😉🌷

Vachetta and Midcentury would match my eyelid pigmentation and skintone so well! I love matte finish shadows so much for an everyday no-makeup look

The part of each video I look forward to: “halllo there!”

I hope world domination is on their to do list 😂😆😆 studio looks really good 😍💓

The most anticipated video of the YEAR is finally here!!! LOVED the review. A couple questions: you mentioned you usually use the Nars eye premier whenever you put on eye makeup, would you still recommend it for before applying the solo eye shadow? And B) a bit of a random question, but what product do you use to clean your merit brushes? I kinda destroyed my old one without intending to 😭

I was going to pick up Studio but I was surprised how warm it ended up being in person on my fair skin, so I went with Social instead (which I find to be much more taupe-cool than Studio).

This eyeshadow pot will definitely be on my shopping list ☺

Thank you so much! I can’t wait to try studio. I have been looking for a cream formula to replace my Jones Road eyeshadow in Ash (which promptly crumbled). That’s my ideal, gray shadow color. I hope studio is close!

Now I have to buy one 😂. You made them look so good 😅 xx

It is weird that they worked on the formula for so long and some shades are still kinda patchy or need extra work.

Your nail polish is beautiful Matilda!❤️

I love the humour in this video! And of course as always the voice just soothes me into a calmer state. The shade Social is really calling my name but I am broke and they don't ship here to Japan. I'll just enjoy watching you LMAO.

Just picked up Studio and can’t wait to try it after watching this! I have hooded and oily lids as well and my holy grail one-and-done shadow pot (MAC’s Painterly) started giving me a rash so I have high hopes for this 🤞🏻 💕

A great review! Bit I'm still left wondering, has anyone tried the midnight shade and compared to Violette_Fr's Ciel de Nuit yeux paint? I ADORE the navy color, but am looking for something to help me achieve a smokey wash, and the yeux paints are NOT for that. As the video mentioned, they set in a fraction of a second? Anyone one tried this Navy? How does it compare?

I only have MAC pain pots as eyeshadows. Love the little glass pots and easy swipe. Much like the missing neutral between painterly and soft ochre this lines 2 lightest neutrals miss the ideal “my perfected youthful eyelid tone”. . Maybe in another release.? Thank you for the packaging comments. To me it’s an important part of the purchase. The VB is so elegant.

I think merit should rename these the dream shadows.... These are too good to exist 😍

I am intrigued. Sadly, we don't get merit in India.They are missing a true neutral or cool toned mid brown. Mauve comes close. I love how thorough your reviews are. love the grunge nail colour on you.

Matte. Cream. Shadows??? This is the swatch video I've been waiting for

I love a DVD series but theses are epic

This was a lovely video and thank you. I just don’t get the fuss over these. They look kind of patchy and hard to remove or blend. I feel like if it wasn’t merit the reception might be different

I bought Brun and it is literally my skin tone 😢 I do like it Ijust can only use it as a base. I'll definitely get the darkest one plus it will make for a good liner

I got Vanchetta and Midcentury ❤❤❤❤

Omggg I need merit in Australia now!!! I want all their products! ❤️😍

I feel like Viper would look so pretty with LE"s new forest eyeliner!

Not for me all that blending but im tempted with the navy to use as an eyeliner 😊

At first these looked like Mac paint pots to me but those are definitely not as crease proof. I love the shade midcentury, must beg my friend to send me some more goodies from the UK. 😅

Great video!!! Which one is your favourite shade?

Have pretty much stuck with Merit for the last year...so no eyeshadow. But, I now have Studio and I really love it! I love the look of Midcentury but Studio is my color for Minimalist in Silk. I think I would be safe trying Social next. I really hope that there will be more 'neutrals' coming out...can't imagine 7 years in the works and not expanding the range.

Do they ship to australia from their website ??? Love this ❤

I’ve been searching for YEARS for a nail polish shade that looks exactly like Viper 😅 any suggestions?

Hi Matilda I bought the lip oil in sangria and I love the colour however I've only had a for several months and it's already smelling like rancid oil. I can't use it. It was fine when I bought it then recently I noticed the smell. Maybe it has expired.

Hello, Matilda. Thank you for the review! I love single matte eyeshadows so this definitely caught my eyes. How does it compare to Mac paint pot?

How would you compare it to danessa myricks palette she just launched in all nudes?

Unfortunately Merit doesn't ship to Australia 😢

Could you imagine Danessa doing cream shadow shades in that blush formula?! 🤤🤤🤤

Always love your swatches - truly the best around! Much like their lipsticks, none of these colors are really speaking to me! Maybe it’s a skin tone difference? The navy and deepest brown are pretty but may look like bruises on me! 😂 Still a beautiful launch though!!

These look lovely and what an excellent review, Matilda! I probably will get one or two because I adore this brand. However MAC paint pots are still 🔥 after all these years and I just upped my game on those.

The deep brown and blue are so patchy with either finger or it’s brush . I tried to use them as eyeliners and founded that their colour are way too sheer. I did try to layer it , but the brush drag the colour away . Not a fan. I only keep the midcentury as it’s consistency seemed to be the best.

Are there any dupes for this?

SO SO SO SO SAD that I can't find Merit anywhere in Switzerland, I really wanted to try and line Viper 🥺

Great video as always . Love those first 3. I’ve yet to buy anything from them yet. I can’t believe they don’t do a % off for first orders. I’ve got zero interest in that bag thing they fob you off with

I’ve ordered vacheta, wanted studio but out of stock in the uk

Neutral/natural eyeshadow isn’t generally my game so that beautiful gangster girlfriend blue is absolutely BECKONING to me… it’s giving 80’s Michelle Pfeiffer/Elvira Hancock 🤤

I purchased these and the only negative I can attribute is towards the packaging. If you have large hands/fingers and/or suffer from even a mild case of arthritis, these components may prove to be more trouble than getting to the great formula is worth.😕

Ohhhhh, these DO look lovely!. Definitely tempted by Vachetta and Mid Century......any feedback on how they handle paired with a sparkly topper like Shiseido Aura or something similar?

Merit is not shipped to Australia

I got the lavender one but i find them all too dark. I wish they also had some lighter colors. Great formula though!

Lol we are not heading into “Fall” 😊

Can we talk about how they dry up after a few months

These look nice but as someone who has shed eyeshadow I don’t know if I can be bothered with these. Part of me wishes they were a stick or had one with a slight shimmer (hourglass vibes). I don’t know if I need to put the effort into a May shadow when using a primer and bronzer already gives me that effect if I want it

I must've gotten a bad batch because mine were not creamy, very difficult to blend, patchy and disappeared within a couple of hours.

I love these with my whole heart but sadly, the packaging isn’t friendly for my wrists. 😢

I bought this when it first came out. I used it and put it aside. When I came back to it five months after I purchased it, it was completely dried out and unusable.

Lovely videooooo

To me, threy are just one and done shadows. Didn't work out well fir me as a liner love.❤

It quickly settles down you need to blend it quickly.

🩺

Not in love with these personally. They are okay but the Milani sticks are about the same😂😂

Pretty crappy product that they couldn’t even fill it to the rim of the pot you have the edge that gets in the way lame

Interesting copycat....well the Americans are trying to imitate Manasi 7 with this concept.l and a cheeper price under the Moto "clean brand". I think I will stick to trusted and glorious RMS as an ambassador of this ideology or to our beloved Manasi 7 here in the E.U, my top for this type of aesthetics . Also I tested the new brownish Rare Beauty eyeshadow sticks in the shade Contentment...that was a hit for the start of the new season. Thanx Matilda🎉😊❤as always your vids rock!
