As a professional MUA, I get to play around with many products on myself as well as on my clients. In order to first build my professional kit a few years ago, I have ordered every trending products on social media and some of them I unfortunately never reach out for. However, some have definitely had a lasting impact on me as I tend to use them on almost every person who sits in my chair. Here are 5 must-have products I can't live without.
This moisturizer is every makeup artist's dream product. It works on all skin types and can also be used as a primer or even a mask for people with very dry skin. It feels very hydrating on the skin and allows foundation to be applied smoothly and evenly. They also carry a fragrance free version which can be ideal for people with sensitive skin. It is currently priced at 45$ for the 75ml tube.
To ensure my makeup applications last all day long, I like to layer cream products and set them with a powder. The Major Headlines Double Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo is the perfect combination for a long-lasting natural flush look. The shade range is perfect for fair to deep complexions and the price point is great at 56$ considering you get two products in one. One of my favorite shades is Not Too much.
The Face Atelier Ultra Foundation Pro is the type of foundation you cannot live without once you have tried it. I always talk about it with my Makeup Artist friends and they instantly fall in love with it once they test it out. It is a light-weight silicon based foundation with a medium but buildable coverage and a natural finish. It is perfect for bridal as it is long-lasting and photographs beautifully. The shade range is wide but what makes it work for everyone is that they have colour adjusters that you can use to change the undertone of the foundation and find your perfect match. It is also fragrance free which allows you to use it on clients sensitive to strong fragrances which isn't normally the case with luxury foundation brands as they tend to have perfume. The regular price of this foundation is 38$ but they offer pro MUAs a professional discount.
This concealer is one of the best on the market in my personal opinion. It is a hydrating full coverage and long-wearing concealer with a natural finish available in a wide variety of shades. It can be used not only as a concealer but also as a liquid bronzer if you use a darker shade. What is great about this concealer is that, unlike other brands, you get almost twice as much product for a similar price point. It is currently priced at 49$ at Sephora.
5. Huda Beauty Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder
This finely milled loose setting powder is available in many shades but my most used one is Pound Cake. It is lightly pigmented and brightening. I mainly use it to set cream products and to blur the skin giving it an airbrushed finish. It has quite a strong fragrance but I absolutely love the smell of it.
