What’s fresh for beauty this season? Just have a look backstage at Proenza Schouler’s Latest York Fashion Week runway show. The cool girl-beloved fashion label once more teamed up with minimalist beauty brand Merit to provide models a shiny and bouncy, dewy skin look that compliments Proenza Schouler’s modern, streamlined silhouettes filled with wealthy textural play. To have fun this perfect pairing, Proenza Schouler and Merit collaborated on an oh-so-chic, limited-edition, luxury vegan leather makeup bag, which is obtainable for pre-order today at Moda Operandi.

Merit is a makeup brand that’s all about essentials. The road includes just nine color cosmetics, including cream blush, a complexion stick, buttery bronzer, and more; plus one face serum and two makeup brushes. Each product is obtainable in inclusive shades, but not so many who it’s overwhelming to seek out a nude lipstick or foundation that works along with your undertones. Proenza Schouler first enlisted Merit for its fall 2022 show at Latest York Fashion Week, coinciding with the launch of Merit’s first lipstick — a group of ’90s-inspired shades that were rigorously color-tested to align with fair to deep skin tones in neutral and daring hues.

Certainly one of Merit’s signature offerings is its corduroy, knot-tie closure makeup bag that ships free with every first order. Now, the makeup bag is getting the Proenza treatment in reversible vegan leather; one side is black, and the opposite is a soft, dusty blue.

The Merit x Proenza Schouler makeup bag collaboration comes with a set of Merit beauty goodies, including the brand’s popular Flush Balm blush, a multitasking complexion makeup brush, mascara, and lip oil. You’ll also get Merit’s Great Skin Quick Glow Serum, a biphase formula with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid that completely preps your skin for any glam you apply on top.

The set is obtainable for pre-order on Moda Operandi today. In mid-October, the bag will likely be included as a present with purchase on orders over $100 at MeritBeauty.com while supplies last — and we’re betting that won’t be long.
