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 Sculpt Crème Contour & Powder Bronzer Duo is the perfect combination for a long-lasting bronzed look. The shade range is perfect for fair to deep complexions and the price point is great at 54$ considering you get two products in one.
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.
This Ultra-fine eyebrow pencil is available in many shades but my favourite ones are Taupe, Neutral Grey Brown and Medium Brown. It is long-wearing, waterproof and is only 16$ at Sephora which is half the price of most high-end brands. Sephora also often offers 30% off on their Sephora Collection products during their saving events which is the perfect time to stock up on them as eyebrow pencils tend to run out quickly.
