MERIT’s “The Uniform” Just Raised the Bar for Everyday Foundations

Minimal makeup lovers, meet your new daily essential: The Uniform by MERIT, a featherlight skin tint with mineral SPF that blends sunscreen, skincare, and complexion-perfecting pigment in one effortlessly wearable formula.

Designed as a light-to-medium coverage foundation with sheer, buildable payoff, The Uniform delivers a natural, skin-like finish that doesn’t lean too matte or too dewy. It’s that rare Goldilocks balance, just right for everyday wear, especially during sunny commutes or morning coffee runs. This isn’t just makeup, it’s skin-first beauty reimagined for your daily routine.

What makes The Uniform stand out? It’s powered by ultra-fine zinc oxide sourced from a Coral Reef Alliance-certified supplier, offering broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection without the chalky, heavy feeling typically associated with mineral sunscreens. Paired with a plant-derived emollient (a luxe, clean alternative to silicone) and a mineral SPF booster in powder form, it delivers a soft-focus finish that blurs and smooths, minus any sticky residue.

And MERIT didn’t stop there. Using a proprietary pigment dispersion technology, they reduced the use of traditionally heavy ingredients like titanium dioxide, thereby minimizing white cast and maximizing shade flexibility. The result? A tight 15-shade range that adapts to a wide variety of skin tones, from fair to deep, with a seamless finish.

Dermatologist-tested, non-comedogenic, and safe for sensitive skin, The Uniform is designed to slot right into your morning routine, layered effortlessly over moisturizer and under The Minimalist or your fave complexion product.

Bottom line? It’s skincare, sun protection, and your skin-but-better glow all in one sleek tube. MERIT has just given us one more reason to embrace makeup that works smarter, not harder.
