Hi Wayne, I'm the star struck lady who was out having breakfast the same time and place as you on Saturday! I apologize for the staring....and my family taking the Mick out of me fan girling. I really hope it didn't spoil your time as I know you're very unassuming 🙈 ❤️ I can confirm he's even more gorgeous in real life, and his personality shone through. Laughing, joking and hugging the ladies at the cafe 🥰
Hi, Wayne! I had to stop watching most makeup videos over the last couple of years, including yours, because I simply don't have 20 to 45 minutes to sit and watch. So I love short videos! Thank you for making the switch so I can go back to loving my makeup and enjoying videos for it!!
He did say in a later video that they resolved his problem to his satisfaction. Isn't it nice when misunderstandings or mistakes can be explained, understood, and forgiven, with no ill-will?
@@JillKnapp As I remember it, it wasn’t a “mistake” or “misunderstanding”. Sure, if that happened to us, we can move on and buy a lipstick again from Merit. BUT this is Wayne Goss, the OG of professional makeup artists, with 4 million followers, claiming this to be his product of the year. I stand by my statement they are “darn lucky” to have him support their brand. 😊
@@lois4tee599I’ve been wanting to buy this product what has been your issue? It’s on the high end so if it’s a waste etc I’d like to know! I like minimal make, which is what brings me to this so much. Thx
I had been wanting to switch up my makeup routine lately because I’m in my early 40s and noticed that my skin can’t really handle a face full of foundation and concealer like it used to. It feels dry and heavy and settles into my fine lines. I saw your Merit videos and thought it might work for me, so when my family was asking what I wanted for Christmas I said the Complexion Set. I’m super impressed and happy with the products, especially the Minimalist stick. I used the shade matching on the website and found a shade that matches my skin so well (most that I try are too orange-y for me) and it blends in amazingly! A little goes a long way and I love how natural it looks. Thank you for the recommendation!
Dementia is so cruel. As the daughter of a woman with Alzheimer’s, I know 1st hand that your support means everything. I would crumble into pieces without my husband. He keeps me strong, upright and capable of retuning the next day. The reality is dementia doesn’t just steal the memory, it steals their essence. But I believe somewhere a lucid core remains intact…shrouded and hidden but whole. Each day, every word spoken…a glance of knowing to your partner, a soft touch his shoulder…matters deeply. I’m sorry.
I was SO thrilled they came out with more shades not too long ago so I could use it! (I'm Ceramic, their new lightest shade, Bone was too dark). It blends perfectly and lasts all day.
I just bought that stick in the summer and stop wearing it. My daughter told me about it because she actually uses it like you do. I was just using it as a concealer but maybe, thinking about it, I may have been applying too much. After seeing this, I will give it a second chance. The product is not cheap, nor expensive either but I dont want to waste it. Thank you for this video.
Ahhh..this is fabulous, it’s the way forward Wayne…you’ve done the right thing for you and that’s all that matters! I but can’t deny I adored your longer videos ….Big love ❤️ you beautiful human ♥️
You look refreshed in every way, Wayne! ❤ Love the new look; back to your roots while owning the star you have become 🎉. Had not heard of this product and can't wait to try it. Congrats for a very successful new focus.
Guilty of making it full coverage on my end! But, it's been working for the most part, maybe not all day but CLOSE. 🙈 Less is definitely more. What I love is this is the only foundation/concealer-like product that does not break me out.
Wayne, the more I live, the more I'm enjoying products whose purpose is simply to make skin appear more healthy! Forget the "theatrical coverage" makeup of yester-year. This is so appealing! Thank you for this review! (Also I've forgotten to mention that I like your intro to your videos! 7 beats and very catchy!!)
I’m so pleased you’re enjoying the video and the beat 🎵 sometimes less is more when it comes to covering the face. At times, we only want a natural looking coverage ❤
I'll keep this in mind when my current foundation runs out! Unrelated, but all these years later, the two videos of yours that have stuck with me the most are the nose contour video about highlight placement, and the video about blending (and blending and blending) powder foundation! I'm not very skilled and only wear makeup a handful of times a year, but I do still want to look fairly natural and, ya know, not look like a disaster when I DO wear it, and those tips are the ones with the biggest impression on me. Very thankful that you share your tips and recommendations with us here in this space!
Hello 👋🏽 my friend Wayne, I absolutely agree with you. This is my “It” product and it will last if used as directed. Thank you 😊. Happy New Year 🎊🎆. Cheers 😉🌷
Thank you, Wayne. I was so mad when BareMinerals discontinued their stick foundation and I haven't found a replacement. This looks prefect. Have a great week.
Omg, preach! I got 2 colors, and I do single layer of both - lighter on the center of the face, and the darker to contour. The formulation is great, warms up and wears well throughout the day, looks beautiful in pictures 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. I was able to find my colors, wish they had more.
Your new format is fast and to the point, I usually like longer videos but you make this work. I love watching your videos and you never disappoint. Thank you and please have a happier new year.
WAYNE Okay This is EXACTLY why you can't leave the channel not for the next few years because you have a cult following you are outstanding in your field of makeup these quick tips /how / and apply products none of us would ever get to know about or see or how to use without you ❤❤❤❤
Was watching on you tube this channel for over 60s the lady was doing her make up and she said she had learned everything from wayne gloss...I am doing my mascara the way u demonstrated by lifting eye lid up...wow difference is amazing...you ate the best
I absolutely agree about the Merit Complexion Stick, their bronzer & blush work with the same ethos as well. Their mascara is great for an amplified natural look. Their brush No.1 Blending brush is nice too. No affiliation, just admiration.
I actually love this stuff I have a hard time with concealer and foundation. I have found with this coverage stuck by merit it doesn't look cakey under my eyes or on my skin and my skin can still breathe and look natural.
Love the merit stick (as well as their other products). So pleased you gave them a second chance. I’ve never had anything but positive interactions with them, so it was surprising to hear of yours.
I love this product, which i bought for travel last month. Thanks for your video, because I was using it for full coverage when wearing makeup. (Most days I wear a tinted sunscreen. My current favorite is Ciele Tinted Serum.)
OMG! i just got my in the mail yesterday and i love it!!! I was worried with my dry skin and it being patchy, BUT i used their serum and moisturizer first and then applied this stick and omg the finish on it, i did set it with a translucent power by elf and im in love with Merit!! :)
I have two Merit sticks that I use all the time and love them. Sometimes I use them after applying makeup to better cover a spot or blemish. Happy to see that you like them as well.
Your enthusiasm persuaded me to get this stick. Even on my relatively fine textured, normal skin, it turns chalky and settles into creases and pores I never saw before within an hour. What am i doing wrong?
Will this work okay if I need to add a dab of concealer? How about a little setting powder? I’ve been trying to move away from that full face foundation look as my skin gets wiser lol & I simply don’t need heavy coverage but will adding these things change the formula?
Wayne, I have such trust in you that I just placed an order for this product which I'd never heard of on a website I've never dealt with before. I hope you earn a wee bit from my purchase.
Love this! I will definitely remember this tip! Oh! And when im n a hurry, your short vids r really awsome! Still love the longer ones too tho! Hope you and Robin are doing awsome! Love ya both!! Cheers!!❤️🤗🥂🤍
Happy New Year to you and your family! I’m always nervous about new face products, because I am a fair olive with some cool red undertone in my T-zone. Looks like I’m taking a trip to Ulta or Sephora to find a match! Thanks for all you do; I’ve learned so much from you over the years.
Peace to you and yours this new year. I will now try the Merit all purpose makeup stick only because of your positive reviews. Looking forward to a new year with your videos. ❤️
My sister is a makeup artist by trade and when I can't get her to do my makeup, I put on your videos and copy your tutorials. She got me on to your vids :)
I tried this foundation stick this year and it is the only one I now use! I tried the Dior, but can’t find a color match. The Merit is less expensive and I found the perfect shade. I’ve always used a high coverage foundation until this one. I’ve adapted fine and even prefer it. My skin looks amazing and I just use a little concealer on my age spots, etc. Also, the Du Jour signature lip blush lipstick that was in the holiday set is my new all-time favorite lipstick.
I’m so into this format! So glad you’re bringing it to you tube cos I don’t have the other social medias so it’s great for me! And exactly what I’m looking for when it comes to products. I’d love to see you do some “if this then” short ones - like dry skin then this tinted moisturiser❤ 2025 is your year🎉
You seem to love this brand I need to try this. I have oily skin hope it works. Hope you had great holidays with family. Take care and stay safe. This is your year you got this. ❤❤❤
How do you think this compares to the Ilia complexion stick? I have aging skin but very oily t zone. I want a complexion stick but afraid of them! Sephora recommended the Ilia. I would love your input?!! P.S. thank you for being you!
Wayne my lower face (lip lines although a non-smoker, and a few dents leading to jowls, and a crease below my bottom lip) are biggest problem. If I could wear a beard as you I would! Could you demonstrate how to cover up these nasties on women please?
Hi Wayne, I'm the star struck lady who was out having breakfast the same time and place as you on Saturday! I apologize for the staring....and my family taking the Mick out of me fan girling.

That's so cute. Hope you enjoyed your breakfast with Wayne.
Yes, I'm jealous. Good for you!
I would have done the same! Wayne you’re a hottie! 💙💙💙
Isn’t he just so pretty!?!! 😁❤️❤️

I understand and thank xx
11 years later and im still watching you ! Wayne your brilliant I love you ❤
Means so much to me reading these lovely comments, it really does. Thank you for your support! 😊
Yes! These are the makeup tips I love from you! Short, sharp, right to the point! Thanks again for being you.
After your debacle with Merit Customer Service, they are darn lucky to have you call their stick the holy grail favorite 2024 product! 😊😮🎉
I was thinking the same thing. Glad you called that out.
That’s what I was thinking too

Awwe bless you. Thank you sweetheart ❤
Lovin' the new short, sharp tips! And you are enjoying it too! Cheers, Wayne! Xxx
Thanks darling ❤
This is the best complexion product I have ever used. I am 44 and this makes my skin look amazing. I love it!
I use this and it lasts me about 4 months. Those of us without facial hair need some on our chins! 😂 I love it!
Is it similar to touche eclat, just better coverage ?
I love it that you suggest good quality products and also how to use them wisely
Thank you darling. Definitely great products of high quality! 😊
Please don't stop posting. I still watch your old videos❤❤❤

I think you’re right, Wayne and this format is your jam! You seem so revitalized and personally I love the length! Keep doing what is good for you! 🫶😊

Straight to the point, happy, fresh and beautiful! Happy New Year matey x
Absolutely brilliant Wayne, loving the “new” (cough revamped old / original) short sharp video format ❤
I'm obsessed with Merit. I haven't been disappointed by any of their poducts.
I agree, Merit is my holy grail foundation, thanks for the tip on how to use it , you are the best ❤
You look refreshed in every way, Wayne! ❤ Love the new look; back to your roots while owning the star you have become 🎉. Had not heard of this product and can't wait to try it. Congrats for a very successful new focus.
That’s very kind of you. Thank you darling! Really appreciate the support! 😘😘😘

Thank you so much! Glad you’re enjoying it ❤
I literally got that from Sephora two weeks ago when I needed a new foundation! I love it so far!
Wayne your videos are too short and I can confirm that you are my guilty pleasure no one talk to me when I’m watching Wayne ❤
Haha! Thanks darling! 😊
@ your welcome darling 🥰
This is my favorite makeup❤ keeps it natural and not cakey. Thank u❤ keep it simple and it works 🎉
I like the shortness of the video, Thank you Wayne!

Daddy Wayne never disappoints ❤
I use mine with some miracle balm or face oil and it’s amazing. ❤️❤️❤️
I have Merit foundation
Stick. I do love! I was told at sephoria, Merit stick is less drying than Dior foundation stick. Thanku!
Love the short format!
Love the merit stick (as well as their other products). So pleased you gave them a second chance. I’ve never had anything but positive interactions with them, so it was surprising to hear of yours.
I love how Wayne uses his whole body to blend in with the brushes!
Wayne I was just thinking of u a few days ago! So glad u posted!!
I love this product, which i bought for travel last month. Thanks for your video, because I was using it for full coverage when wearing makeup. (Most days I wear a tinted sunscreen. My current favorite is Ciele Tinted Serum.)
i love merit! they sent me that concealer a few years ago and i’m so happy it’s getting the hype it deserves!
Love this type of content. Have a great New Year.
Absolutely love my Merit stick!! Started using it about a year ago and never went back to my old foundation. Love how it makes my face glow! 😊
Great to hear! Xxx
Thank you. Happy New Year from southern Illinois US
Same to you! Xx
Hope you and Robin are doing OK. Love these short videos. Emma x
Thank you. We’re great thanks lovely 😊😊
@WayneGoss glad to hear that. Was a bit worried about you both. X
So happy you shared this. I own this and didn’t know how to use it. Brilliant
Your tips have been so great over the years, Wayne. Have a fab 2025!❤
Same to you and thank you!!xxx
Merci, Wayne im excited to buy your makeup brush, just on a budget essentials first. Happy for your business blooming et looks promising
OMG! i just got my in the mail yesterday and i love it!!! I was worried with my dry skin and it being patchy, BUT i used their serum and moisturizer first and then applied this stick and omg the finish on it, i did set it with a translucent power by elf and im in love with Merit!! :)
Thanks for sharing, lovely to hear such positive feedback! 🤗
I love your videos and your sense of humir, Wayne. Learning this could last four minutes had me rolling 😂😂
So its great on your skin, Wayne... My question is how good is it on mature skin and how well does it wear all day?
Each individual’s skin is different darling. Depends on whether your skin is oily or dry. It’s worth trying it, but remember it’s not a foundation xx
Thankyou so much for this! Happy New Year Wayne.🎉 By the way, you looks gorgeous!! 😍😍
Happy new year to you too and thank you for the compliment 😍
Love your hair that length! And lovelovelove the new short format!! Happy New Year, Wayne!
Yay! Thank you and a Happy New Year to you too 🤩
I liked how quick, and to the point, this video was and I'm going buy that, stat.
Thank you 😘😘

I got this a month ago and it has been my staple complexion product. SO good
Ok I know what I’ll be picking up when I’m in London this spring ❤ I just recently stocked up on my usual concealers but will get this next time!
Happy New Year to you and your family!

I love this Merit product, had to return two of them as the stick broke even with minimal pressure.
That is a known issue with these, happened to me too
I’ve been looking for something like this. Yay! Thank you. May you all please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩
Happy New Year Wayne! It looks very pretty ❤❤xx
Lovely. Wayne, I love watching your shorts. Happy New Year to you and looking forward to watching in 2025!❤
Same to you!l and thank you so much 😊
You seem to love this brand I need to try this. I have oily skin hope it works. Hope you had great holidays with family. Take care and stay safe. This is your year you got this. ❤❤❤
Thank you! You too! Xxx
How do you know which shade to choose and can’t remember if you’ve used their blush balms? I’m tempted!
Happy New Year!
Happy new year!
How do you think this compares to the Ilia complexion stick? I have aging skin but very oily t zone. I want a complexion stick but afraid of them! Sephora recommended the Ilia. I would love your input?!! P.S. thank you for being you!
It's way more creamy than Llia. Which I prefer. Oh and Thank You for being YOU :) xx
Thank you Wayne!
This did not work for my dry skin. It looked terrible. Clung to dry patches.
Wayne my lower face (lip lines although a non-smoker, and a few dents leading to jowls, and a crease below my bottom lip) are biggest problem. If I could wear a beard as you I would!
Could you demonstrate how to cover up these nasties on women please?
Hi Wayne, does it work on mature skin? And how to choose the right shade? Thanks
HI WAYNE! can u please tell me the name of the product . thx
