Pros Great products! Keeps my skin looking young.
Cons Can buy only in Merle Norman studios. Find something I like and they discontinue it.
Bottom line I've used Merle Norman products for 55 years...wouldn't use any other product. My only complaint is that I get to like a product and they discontinue it. Sometimes, I can find them online, though, through Google or Yahoo search.

Pros I am 62 and have used Merle Norman products since I was 16. I am NEVER guessed to be my age - people think I'm in my forties! My daughter also uses and at 40 looks more like 30.
Cons Not sold online. I have to travel at least 25 miles to get to a studio.
Bottom line Although their products are pricier than the "drug store" brands their cost is in line with department store brands and they actually work.
Price paid $72.00

Pros every product in merle norman is amazing! i am 58 years old and have used their products since i was 18. i am always guessed in my forties! i get occasional fever blisters and can safely use their powder base and it covers completely!
Cons none whatsoever.
Bottom line i have tried many many products over the years and will never switch from merle norman again. even the mascara is wonderful! believe me the original powder base makeup and luxiva powder covers all flaws without an artifical look. my 20 something year old nieces are now convinced merle norman is the only makeup to use. i work in the public and when you have strangers ask what you use because your skin is perfect, (i have a very rough complexion) you know your makeup is right! the other wonderful thing is it seems to last forever! i just can't say enough positive things. we only have 1 merle norman studio in our area but i would actually pay for shipping if they ever decided to move out of the area to get my products.

Pros I have dry, sensitive skin and have tried just about everything out there in the department stores and on the shopping channels. This past January I went in for a consult and was introduced to products that actually made my skin feel like silk!
Cons So far I cannot think of any other than some of the products may be a bit pricey....but then again they last a long time and do what they say they will do. You really will see result once you make the investment.
Bottom line The Luxiva line is a true luxury. My skin care routine feels like real treat as the texture of the products is so soothing to my skin. If you have ever considered popping in for a consult....make the appointment. You will leave educated, informed and hopefully with a little bag that will help to solve your skin care issues!

Pros covers nicely, color matches my coloring
Cons I break out every time I use the foundation. I then stop using, waiting for breakouts to heal up. I am 57, my acne days were long gone before I started using this foundation. I was NOT informed I could return it when I purchased, which angers me.
Bottom line keep looking and you will find a brand called Artistry. I am sure that you will find that it beats all others including merle norman. oh yeah did i mention that it is all-natural. once you try Artistry, i am confident that you will make the switch without hesitation.

you are welcome

to cindy from decatur, i know this won't happen, but if by some chance you wanted to return the product you have a 6 month money back guarantee. can't beat that.

Pros Turned my sand paper skin into silk. I went in looking for a foundation that would look better on my dry skin.
Cons None
Bottom line Living in Las Vegas all my life (now 35) my skin was so dry. When I went in to find a foundation, I was treated to a FREE steam facial then they used there MICRO-REFINER as an exfoliant and to top it off they also did a 10 minute moisture treatment on my face. I felt like I was feeling someones skin but it couldn't have been mine! But it was! Again it was free!
I had to have not only the foundation that they found for me, but also realized my skin didn't have to be that way. They taught me how to take care of my skin.

Pros Their entire line is amazing!
Cons nothing.
Bottom line I've used Merle Norman since I was 18, I'm now 23. I've tried every brand under the sun and nothing beats Merle Norman. People compliment me on my skin all the time. I'm extremely fair complected and Merle Norman is the only cosmetic dealer that can match my skin tone! haha, the coverage is amazing and keeps my skin looking great every day! MN us the only brand that won't make my acne flair up. It's great all around!
