Brilliant - but be prepared to work it a bit
I've waited a while before reviewing this as I wanted to see how i got on with it. Vachetta is a great colour for me & you get a good colour pay off from this eyeshadow. I find it best to apply with my finger rather than a brush, and to work my finger around the bot to heat it up a bit. This is because this stuff can go stiff in the pot -I don't find it dries out - just stiffens in the cold. I find working it with my finger or a quick blast to the outside from my hairdryer helps. It's also very important to close the lid well - listen for the click.
Despite these niggles I still like it on my aged eyelids - it's smooth and absolutely not sparkly - one sweep and I have colour on my lids that hides all my freckles & marks - I'm happy

Remember to close lid till you hear the click
I like the texture of this eye shadow as I have mature eyes. I do however think it can go patchy if you do not apply correctly. I have Midcentury and Vachetta. Both are lovely but Midcentury gives your eyes more pop. I recommend using the merit brush or something similar. Only apply a light layer first then wait to dry and you can apply more but very lightly. So a light hand is better. They are definitely one and done kind of eyeshadows. Last a good 4 to 5 hrs on me and then it will fade. You really have to close the lid till you hear it clicks as if not the eyeshadow dries out very quickly and then can be a nightmare to apply so do remember that.

Good but not perfect
Great colour and buildable, making it more flexible to whether you want a more natural or smoky eye look, however, not the easiest to apply. I thought that using my finger would be easiest as its a creamy formula, it was a little difficult to blend once on the eyelid, but using a brush was slightly better! I thought the product would be creamier that it is too…

Any tips on applying?
Lovely colours but find it quite difficult to apply these. I do really like the shade Nelson though.

Great but dried out fast!
Loved the shade and the buildable texture, but it dried out after about a month of opening it. Completely unusable now and feels like a huge waste. Hope they change the formulation to make it last to be worth the hefty price.

Big fan of merit
I’m new to merit make up and had my eye on the Nelson shade for a while. It might not look the most exciting in the pan but on the lid and blended out it is lovely. The formula is drier than I was expecting and does take longer to blend than I thought it would.

****Beautiful eyeshadow****
a one and done shadow, pigmented, feels high quality, spreads well and easily on the eyelids and lasts all day. I purchased an additional shade.
