Merit's Signature Lip Lightweight Lipstick has a soft, airy, mousse-y texture that blurs lip lines while feeling weightless and comfortable, not drying. Several creators praise the formula as a stunner, with shades like Archival and Frambo being versatile enough for cheeks as well. A few note the limited-edition shades sell out quickly and that the lipstick is sheerer and waxier than traditional mattes.
