The Diplomat‘s Keri Russell may not have taken home a Golden Globe on Sunday evening, but the actress certainly won major style points. The 48-year-old actress looked radiant in a cream-hued Stéphane Rolland caped dress and black suede stilettos, topping off her glam look with glowing skin and smoldering eyes — thanks to Merit Beauty.
Celebrity makeup artist Tina Turnbow created the look using the brand’s products, none of which cost more than $38 — proving you don’t need to spend a fortune to nail star style. Prepping Russell’s skin with Merit’s Great Skin Moisturizer, Turnbow then used the brand’s new eyebrow pomade to define the brows before applying a trio of brown shadows to give a soft, smokey eye. As for the Felicity star’s flawless complexion, that was courtesy of the celeb-favorite Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Stick. An easy-to-use foundation and concealer in one, the creamy formula is the same one beloved by Martha Stewart.

The light-to-medium coverage formula is breathable, keeping skin feeling as good as it looks. It’s also chock full of skincare ingredients to lock in moisture and fade discoloration, yet it has a natural finish.
Devotees say it’s perfect for both travel and everyday use. One convert wrote, “I’ve been looking for a cream foundation for mature skin. This has great coverage but isn’t too heavy and doesn’t settle into fine lines like liquid and powders. I can have my foundation on and blended in less time, which is also a plus.”
Another reviewer said, “OMG, if you get the right shade, it’s the best thing ever. So creamy, so natural, so easy — just the right about of coverage. They finally released more shades and now I actually have the perfect shade match. I really enjoy this product.”
As with any cosmetic, proper skin prep is critical if you’re hoping to achieve a flawless look, but the legions of fans also appreciate how quickly the product goes on. A third happy customer claimed they were “obsessed” and noted how well the complexion stick worked for their lifestyle.
“As a busy mom of two, I don’t have much time in the morning to get a full face of makeup on. A worker in Sephora recommended this product and I’m so happy with it. It’s super natural and easy to apply. I’m able to apply to my face and rub in while holding a screaming child. My skin is on the dry side and it’s been great for me.”
