The @MERIT Beauty Brush No.1 Blending Brush is ultra-soft, vegan, and designed to give your complexion the smoothest, most seamless blend.

👎

There are so many pictures from the Sephora ratings segment that show that this brush keeps falling apart when being cleaned… literally all of the hairs coming off.

😊

I am so picky about my brushes. So when I got this from Merit Beauty, I was like, probably not going to love it. I stand corrected. This is the brush number one from Merit Beauty. It's their blending brush. It feels so good. It's so soft.

👎

Loved that brush too, I think I didn’t use the best cleaner for it bc it fell apart after about a year
