Merit Archival Lipstick

This is one of my favorite lipsticks, and it’s already kind of naturally smudgy in the best way. I played with that “smudged matte lip” idea from the Vogue video, but I’ll be honest—I usually prefer a more defined lip line on myself.

Pros

+Easy, wearable formula for everyday
+Great for a softer, lived-in lip look
+A personal favorite in my collection

Cons

-If you love a crisp lip line, the smudgy vibe might not be your thing
