The beautiful face of Merit Beauty’s new Solo Shadow Sheen collection, which comes out on October 22, 2025, is actress Christina Ricci. This exciting new product comes after Merit’s very popular Solo Shadow Matte. It has six pearlescent, creamy eyeshadow shades that are inspired by ’90s styles. The collection has bright colors like Palladium (warm silver), Iris (soft plum), Surrealism (gold), Matchbook (soft burgundy), Sartorial (bronze), and Glacé (soft rose). These shades are meant to give a modern yet nostalgic look to your makeup.
Ricci, who is known for her famous movie roles from the 1990s and her classic style, talks about how much she loves Merit’s high-quality, stylish makeup. She likes that the Solo Shadow Sheen has a versatile formula with jojoba extract. This makes it easy to apply with her fingers, which is great for a sheer, buildable look. “You can have a very sheer look or build it up,” says Ricci, who likes the coppery Sartorial shade the best. The eyeshadow lasts a long time, doesn’t crease, water, or smudge. So, it’s a good choice for everyday glam.
Ricci is also a skincare advocate and talks about how much she spends on masks and creams. She uses a light CC cream with her makeup to protect her skin from the sun and add color. She doesn’t use powder because it can settle into fine lines. Ricci uses makeup for work and important meetings, which shows how easy and natural Merit products are to use.
The Solo Shadow Sheen campaign is a great tribute to ’90s glam. It captures the era’s soft shimmer and neutral colors while also providing modern performance and skin-loving ingredients. These buildable, glowing eyeshadows are perfect for people who like simple, classy makeup that reminds them of the past.
