Quick answer
To build a full look with the Intro Trio, start with the complexion product as your base, then add color to cheeks and lips, and finish with the highlight or glow product. Apply in thin layers and blend well for a natural, dewy finish.
Why the Intro Trio works for beginners
The Intro Trio is designed for those new to MERIT or looking to simplify their makeup bag. It includes three core products that work together to create a radiant foundation, so you don't need to guess which items pair well. This set is ideal for everyday wear and helps you achieve a fresh, minimalist look without extra steps.
Adapting the steps to your skin type
If you have dry skin, you might want to apply the complexion product with your fingers to warm it up and blend seamlessly. For oily skin, set the base with a light powder if desired, though the trio is designed for a dewy finish. Remember, the set is curated for a natural look, so adjust the amount of product to your preference.
Step-by-step guide to using the Intro Trio
- Start with the complexion product: Apply a small amount of the complexion product to the center of your face and blend outward with your fingers or a brush. Build coverage gradually. Common mistake: applying too much at once can look cakey. Start with a pea-sized amount and add more if needed.
- Add color to cheeks: Smile to find the apples of your cheeks and apply a small dot of the cheek color, blending upward and outward. Use your fingers or a damp sponge for a seamless finish. Checkpoint: blend well to avoid harsh lines. The goal is a natural flush, so start sheer and build.
- Apply color to lips: Use the same cheek color on your lips for a coordinated look. Apply directly from the tube or with your finger, starting at the center and blending outward. Common mistake: using too much product on lips can feel heavy. A little goes a long way for a tint.
- Finish with the glow product: Tap the highlight or glow product onto the high points of your face—cheekbones, brow bone, and cupid's bow—to add a dewy radiance. Checkpoint: use a light hand and blend edges to avoid a greasy look. Focus on areas where light naturally hits.
