Our verdict

A subtle, glitter free glow stick for natural daytime makeup that also hydrates. It gives sheen, not sparkle, so it will not deliver a strong evening highlight.

Overview

Not a glitter highlighter and not a powder, MERIT Day Glow is a sheer moisturizing balm in a stick that adds dewy radiance with zero sparkle. Swipe it on cheekbones and blend for a lit from within finish in a rose gold shade.

Glow from moisture instead of shimmer looks like healthy skin in daylight and close up. It is too subtle for a dramatic evening highlight.

Who it's for

People who prefer fresh, skin like makeup for daytime and want hydrating ingredients in their color. Fans of strong metallic highlight should choose a shimmer powder.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Zero sparkle glow
  • Hydrating squalane and olive oil
  • Easy stick application
  • Supports the skin barrier
Cons
  • Too subtle for evening glam
  • Balm may move on oily skin
  • Net weight not stated in specs

Performance notes

The glow comes from emollient oils reflecting light rather than shimmer particles, so it reads as skin and stays soft. On oily skin a balm can slip by afternoon, while dry skin holds the dewy finish longer.
