Lisa's Favorite is a curated MERIT set of handpicked everyday essentials. Here's how to use it as a minimalist makeup routine, plus what to know before you buy.
Quick answer
Use Lisa's Favorite as your one-and-done everyday set: start with a clean base, apply the handpicked essentials in thin layers, and build only where you need more. It suits anyone who wants a streamlined, no-fuss routine without choosing each product separately.
Why a curated set changes your routine
A curated set like Lisa's Favorite removes the guesswork of matching products. Instead of buying and testing individual items, you get a handpicked assortment of Lisa's most-loved MERIT picks, already chosen to work together for a clean, minimalist look.
That doesn't mean every product will be your personal favorite. The trade-off is less choice: you can't swap individual items, so the set works best if you want a complete everyday routine rather than one specific product. Check the set contents against what you already own before buying.
Who it fits and who should skip it
Lisa's Favorite is designed for people who appreciate clean beauty and minimalist makeup and want to build a streamlined, no-fuss routine. It's also a practical gift for someone starting out or simplifying their collection.
Skip it if you already own most of the essentials and only need one replacement, or if you prefer to customize every shade and formula. In that case, buying individual products gives you more control.
How to use Lisa's Favorite step by step
- Start with a clean, moisturized base: Cleanse and apply your usual moisturizer, then let it settle for a minute before makeup. This helps the products go on evenly and last longer. If your skin feels tight or tacky, wait another minute before applying makeup.
- Apply the complexion products in thin layers: Use a small amount of each complexion product and build coverage only where you need it, such as redness or uneven tone. Thin layers look more natural and are easier to adjust. Stop while you can still see your skin texture; you can always add more.
- Add color to cheeks, eyes, and lips: Use the set's color products on cheeks, eyes, and lips, blending with your fingers or a brush. Start with less and build, since multi-use color can be layered for a stronger look. Apply color after complexion products so you don't disturb your base.
- Set only where you need it: If the set includes a setting product, apply it lightly to the T-zone or areas prone to shine. Over-setting can make skin look flat, so keep it targeted. Check your face in daylight before adding more powder.
- Finish and review: Step back from the mirror and check your look in natural light. Adjust any area that looks heavy or uneven, and note which products you used most so you can plan your next routine. If a product feels unnecessary for your daily look, you can skip it without wasting the set.
