Merit Beauty is 20 Percent Off Right Now for Allure Readers

Here at Allure, we follow the early lives of new beauty brands as closely as we follow our favorite celebs’ careers — like supportive stage moms watching from afar, cheering from the sidelines. As beauty editors, there’s nothing more rewarding than watching an exciting and innovative beauty brand make a big splash on the scene and then continue to consistently release stellar products that live on our vanities, on our desks, and at the tops of our tote bags for anytime access. Merit Beauty’s first six glowy, luxurious products dropped in early 2021, and since then the brand has added four products to its lineup. Merit’s repertoire includes not one, but three Best of Beauty Award winners, which is the Allure seal of approval for a brand if we’ve ever seen it. 

It’s pretty clear that we love Merit around here and lucky for us, they’re showing Allure readers a little bit of extra love this Black Friday. Starting at 12:01 a.m. ET on November 22, enter code EARLYACCESS22 at checkout for 20 percent off your purchase (excluding sets) before the sale opens up to everyone the next day. If you miss the early window, don’t sweat it. While we recommend using Allure’s early access code to shop your faves before items start selling out, the 20 percent off event lasts through November 28.

Knock some holiday shopping off of your list early this year and add some discounted Merit goodies to your cart while Allure’s exclusive early access code applies. We’ll be restocking on radiant complexion essentials, lengthening mascara, juicy lip oils, and more. We’ve rounded up a couple of our Merit faves — Best of Beauty winners and some newness — to help you get started. Happy shopping!

A couple of swipes of Merit’s Best of Beauty-winning Flush Balm will add the perfect subtle tint, along with a dewy finish, to your cheeks. Finish it off with a bit of Bronze Balm to add some warmth to the skin and you’ve got a flawless natural complexion at — and thanks to — your fingertips.

Great Skin Instant Glow Serum

Merit’s first foray into skin care is its Great Skin Instant Glow Serum, a bi-phase liquid serum that plumps and refreshes the skin like a dream. Allure commerce writer Sarah Han was seriously impressed by how well this serum treated her dry skin while on a trip to high-altitude Utah. “Somehow, my skin looked even smoother and glass-like than it had a few minutes prior,” she wrote in her recent review.

The Minimalist’s stick formulation is perfect for touchups on the go. Merit recently redesigned this product so it includes 1.7 times the amount of product found in the original packaging, so you can guiltlessly use as little or as much as you want at once. Once your complexion is prepped, add a layer of the Best of Beauty-winning Clean Lash mascara and you’re all set.

Don’t miss out on these savings — use code EARLYACCESS20 at meritbeauty.com on November 22 for 20 percent off your purchase (sets not included).
