The 5 Products Makeup Artist Keep Within Reach
While makeup artists work with diverse products that may be unique from Artists to each artist, there are a few essentials that every makeup artist keep close. These tools not only aid application but ensure better makeup results.
Below are five important makeup products that every makeup artist has in their kit and why they matter.
1. Primer
Primer – PinterestIt’s rare to find a kit without a primer as it not only creates a smooth base but also prepares the skin for makeup application.
The primer is important because:
- It ensures the makeup lasts longer whether under heat or humidity
- It improves the overall finish and also ensures other products blend perfectly
- It prevents patchiness especially when working on textured skin.
2. Foundation

Foundation is a must-have in nearly every kit because it:
- Creates a smooth finish
- Ensures even texture especially for other products
- Allows for custom tones to match diverse undertones
3. Concealer

Concealer is another widely known makeup product that every makeup artist keeps on hand because of its important uses including offers coverage without extra foundation and its ability to last for extended periods.

4. Setting Powder and Spray

Setting powder and spray go hand-in-hand to ensure the long-lasting finish of the makeup application. While the setting powder dulls fine lines, reduces excess shine and absorbs oil, the setting spray locks the look in place.
They are a must-have in every kit because they:
- Reduce smudging especially in areas around the eyes and mouth
- Ensures makeup lasts through long wear, heat and sweat
- Extends wear time, particularly for brides, models, and performers
5. Lip & Cheek Product

These are extremely important because makeup is incomplete if the lips and cheeks are left bare. They add color and are effective for quick touch-ups during events.
They are essentials because they:
- Save time as they serve two purposes at once
- Provide versatility especially in busy events
These five makeup products are a must-have in every artist’s kit. They serve as the backbone for achieving clean results with each serving a unique purpose.

“When I think of the Middle East, I think about fragrance, it goes back to my teta [‘grandmother’ in Arabic], and my aunts and uncles having these fragrances they would mix for themselves, or would wear for 45 years, that were such a part of their personalities; I hope ‘Ôrebella can be one version of their personalities, as well.”
Although the launch was significant, Bella Hadid’s presence drew the most attention with fans taking to social media to congratulate her.
