Merit's Shade Slick Tinted Lip Oil has a thin, hydrating formula that feels like a true lip oil, not a gloss, with a blurring, velvety soft matte finish that smooths lip lines. Several creators praise the sheer, buildable color and flattering shades like Point, Gammai, and Bespoke, though one notes it's not the longest lasting but easy to reapply. The formula is non-drying and gives a juicy, glowy look, with Kackie Reviews Beauty calling it "special" and noting the shades all blend out delightfully.
