Get Ready With Us: MUA Recommended Products
The next instalment in our Get Ready With Us series is all about the makeup. In the first part, we showed you all the haircare products loved by hair professionals. Now, it’s the MUA’s turn.
Learn about the most trusted products and brands used by pro MUAs, and give your makeup routine an instant Hollywood boost.
When we asked around, two brands came up time and time again: Estée Lauder and Clinique. Estée Lauder’s products are favoured to build the perfect base, while Clinique products are reached for to add detail and dimension to the face.
Read on for MUAs’ top picks to elevate your glam.
Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation
A true cult classic, Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation first launched in 1997, and has been a staple in MUA kits globally ever since. Boasting a huge range of 55 shades, this staple of the beauty industry delivers a your-skin-but-better finish, with a natural yet matte, buildable medium coverage. The formula is stacked with benefits, including SPF10 protection, as well as being water, sweat, heat, and humidity-proof. It promises up to 24 hours of wear, so helps to minimise shine and stay fresh from dawn until dusk.

Estée Lauder Double Wear Concealer
The perfect companion to the Double Wear Foundation, Estée Lauder reformulated their concealer and re-released it in 2025, with a new-and-improved coverage. Featuring 30 inclusive shades, this medium-full coverage concealer is perfect for covering dark circles, while leaving skin feeling hydrated.
From the wand to the wearability, everything was considered to make this the most reliable concealer in an MUA’s kit.
The new formula includes InvisiFlex Technology. This means there are polymers in the concealer that move with your facial expressions, helping to ensure breathability and comfort all day long. As well as this, micro silica spheres absorb excess oil. The lightweight formula works hard, feeling featherlight while remaining sweat, humidity and water-resistant for up to 24 hours, just like the Double Wear Foundation.

Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Bronzing Powder
What is an evening glam without a bronzed finish? Bronzer adds dimension to the face, as well as an effortlessly sunkissed glow, and it is so easy to use. Do not be put off by the darker tones – we promise the pay off is worth it.
With a large pan and a mirror compact, this Estée Lauder bronzer is ideal for contouring the hollows of the face to add shape to the cheekbones and jawline, and swept across the high points of the face for a golden glow. Similarly to their liquid base products, the bronzer boasts an oil-control formula perfect for long days out.
