After applying Merit’s The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Stick in Ochre (“The yellowness of it conceals all my redness. My blotch is different every day!” she laughed.), Diaz went in with the brand’s Flush Balm—an adorable dome-shaped mound of creamy pigment—to add some life back into the face.

“I use [the shade] Raspberry Beret for my lips and cheeks,” she explained, applying the ball directly to her skin before blending it with a brush. “It’s my favorite, I’ve always been a plummy girl.”

The compact, versatile product also comes in four other shades (available at Sephora), all of which contain a radiance that gives the skin a lit-from-within glow. It’s also made with nourishing vitamin E, and was formulated in collaboration with esthetician Biba de Sousa so as not to irritate those with acne-prone skin. And because it’s so lightweight, it never looks cakey.

Reviewers love the blushes for all of that and more—they’re especially perfect for this time of year, when chilly air tends to make dry skin more of a problem. One shopper said the formula “blends out like butter.” Another said it’s “great for older skin,” adding: “It gives a very natural flush.”

“I love how moisturizing it is!” another raved. “The dome applicator makes it easy to apply, and the colour payoff is incredible.”

Diaz finished her minimal makeup look with Merit’s Bronze Balm in Clay—a convenient stick formula that’s easily swiped on—and the brand’s Clean Lash Lengthening Mascara, which is a tubing formula that surrounds and lengthens individual lashes. You can shop the simple routine below.
