Love the wealth of information of all you beauties on here......Does anyone use Merle Norman cosmetics or skin care....I use their toners which I love but haven't used anything else. Thanks!!

Hi, I've used Merle Norman eyebrow powder for years. I won't use anything else. I also still have some eyeshadow brushes that I use occasionally.

Back before I could drive (and I've been driving for 40 years), there was a Merle Norman boutique a couple of towns over. I remember the liquid mask that hardened like eggwhite on your face, and a double ended lip crayon/liner in Red that I liked. Everything else I tried from them was pretty average. There are still two locations in Massachusetts but neither are convenient enough for me to visit. If I drove by an MN studio and had time to kill I would definitely stop by and browse.

There used to ne a MN boutique in my local shopping center.  It's been years though since they've been around and I didn't realize that MN was still in business.

I haven't thought about this for a long time.  Many years ago( like 50). I went to a MN STUDIO in I think Wellesley or Newton, someplace near Framingham where I worked.I liked the experience but the skincare was too harsh for me.

@catsgalore5354  If you have sensitive skin, think twice.  I had a makeover years ago and by the time I got home I was red and itching.  If you are not sensitive, you will more than likely be okay.

I’ve used many of their color products in the past.  Very good.  The Luxiva powder is excellent. I also like their double ended lip pencils. Surprisingly their mineral makeup is also quite good

Merle Norman makes good products, I think.  For those of you who visit REHOBOTH BEACH Delaware, there is a Merle Norman shop directly across the road where the QVC Outlet used to be, on the corner of that little strip mall.

A very lovely woman owns the store; she is informative and helpful. She have different lines of skin care and make-up for everyone. I really like their lip gloss.....
