Merit of Beauty

Hey There!
I'm so happy that you decided to visit my web page!

I'm Merit, a Finnish makeup artist, YouTuber and everyday makeuplover. I want to encourage everyone just to have fun, forget the rules and enjoy colors, shapes and light & shadow.
All About Me
I'm 47 years old woman living in Helsinki, Finland. I have three cats - Vilmeri, Robert and Onni-Sulevi. As you can imagine, they are the joy of my life. During weekdays I work in IT as Product Owner/Team Manager. It's something very different compared to my other interests. On evenings and weekends I like to create content to my channels but also read, paint, take long walks and rehearse my singing. All sorts of creative stuff.
​
I sometimes struggle with my health, as I've been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Migraine and Essential tremor. I try not to let them prevent me from doing things that I love. But sometimes I just have to lay down for a day or two. It is what it is and I try to keep in mind, that it could be much worse.
​
I got interested of makeup when I was already an adult. I had been curious for years and admired people with great looking makeup, but it took a surprising opportunity for me to go to makeup school and get a degree. Ever since I've been involved in makeup one way or another. I used to be full time makeup artist for few years, but it didn't feel right for me. Since, I've had my Instagram and later on YouTube channels. Besides those, I love watching videos from others, go round to check what's new and try new products myself. Makeup is part of my mornings, a time for myself to gather up myself to go through the day. Something that brings me endless joy and possibilities to experiment, go over my limits and just have fun!
