The three-part capsule comprises The Winter 2026 Set, The Signature Lip Trio and The Retrospect Soap Trio, sold on MeritBeauty.com and at Sephora in the US and Canada. On MeritBeauty.com the Winter 2026 Set is $68, the Signature Lip Trio $62 and the Retrospect Soap Trio $34.

Updated 20 October 2026: prices and Sephora US and Canada listings added. The Winter 2026 Set is currently sold out on MeritBeauty.com but still listed at Sephora.

What's New

The collection pairs Merit's minimalist approach with the floral aesthetic of designer Erdem Moralıoğlu. It is also Merit's first bespoke packaging designed with a fashion designer. The palette centres on soft, candlelit shades, a rose-bronze highlighter and a burgundy lip.

What the Brand Says

"This collaboration felt like a natural meeting of two worlds," says Moralıoğlu. "It was an opportunity to translate the spirit of Erdem into something people can live with every day."

The Winter 2026 Set: Eye and Cheek

According to Merit, The Winter 2026 Set is a limited-edition set for a soft, glowy look inspired by Erdem's romantic aesthetic. Merit says it includes two new shades created exclusively for the season. Inside:

  • Day Glow in Tulle: a new rose-bronze highlighter shade
  • Mini Flush Balm in Carnation: a soft, warm pink for cheeks
  • Solo Shadow Sheen in Mink: a limited-edition soft brown-grey with a subtle sheen
  • Mini Clean Volume Mascara in Black: a tubing formula that lengthens and combs lashes

Styling tip: Sweep Mink across the lid. Press Carnation onto the apples of the cheeks with your fingertips, then tap Tulle along the high points of the face.
