ICYMI, Emily in Paris finally returned to Netflix on Aug. 15 with the release of the first half of season four. And while I'm never *not* swooning over Emily's fashion and beauty looks in the show, I also found myself envying her simple-yet-glam makeup style at the show's premiere, which included the Merit Flush Balm ($30) in shade 'Cheeky' that PureWow readers (oh, and Carrie Bradshaw ) are huge fans of.

Collins's makeup artist, Fiona Stiles , also turned to the brand's soon-to-be-released Great Skin Moisturizing Primer ($38) to prep her skin, which has already racked up more than 5,000 sign-ups to the waitlist (so I'd suggest hopping on it yourself if you want to be one of the first to nab the highly-anticipated product). Below, find all the details on these Merit must-haves, plus a few other faves Stiles used to create Collin's smooth, glowing look.

Merit

Besides being a go-to for celebs like Sarah Jessica Parker, Merit's Flush Balm is also adored by PureWow editors Olivia Dubyak and Sarah Stiefvater for achieving effortlessly glowy skin . But don't just take our word for it—the balm has also racked up *thousands* of five-star reviews from shoppers that praise its portable size, pigmented color and easy, consistent application. One reviewer writes, "I AM OBSESSED! This is one of the best things I have ever tried! This blush is tiny and easy to carry it with me everywhere. I use it as blush, eyeshadow and lip balm! I need all the shades!" A do-it-all product that's easy to travel with, too? Sign me up.

If Stiles has anything to say about it, though, you won't stop there with your Merit beauty routine. Besides the Flush Balm and moisturizer mentioned above, she also used Merit's Day Glow Highlighting Balm in shade 'Cava' ($32), Bronze Balm in shade 'Quince' ($30), The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Stick in shade 'Bone' ($38), Clean Lash Lengthening Mascara ($26), Signature Lip Lipstick in shade 'Baby' ($26) and more from the minimalist brand on Collins. And, honestly? I'm ready to try them all.
