Zipped up in a gorgeous lilac and orange makeup bag (we would buy the set for the bag alone), it’s a brilliantly curated edit of 12 mini-sized products. It’s a mix of MUA Makeup Academy’s best-selling everyday essentials, as well as six brand-new limited-edition exclusives. Here’s exactly what you get:
- Mini Pro/Base Glow Dew Illuminating Primer in Spark – a gorgeous silky primer with golden particles to create that lit-from-within glow.
- Mini Pro/Base Banana Brightening Primer – containing niacinamide and banana extract, this primer not only creates a smooth base for makeup but also improves skin tone and brightens.
- Mini Liquid Cream Blusher in Dusky Rose – one of the brand’s best-sellers, this dewy liquid blush is easy to blend and build for a fresh natural flush.
- Mini Setting Powder with Powder Puff in Luminous Glow – the perfect size for popping in your handbag to keep skin looking luminous but not shiny.
- Mini Trio Eyeshadow Palette in Bare Muse – three complementary neutral shades that work for both day and night.
- Mini Volume Mascara – save space in your makeup bag with this dinky lash amplifier.
- Mini Intense Colour Pencil Eyeliner in Starry Night – add definition to eyes with this jet black liner.
- Mini MetamorpHosis Lip & Cheek Oil in Plump It Up – a clever colour-changing oil that adapts to your skin’s pH to create the perfect shade for your lips and cheeks.
- Mini Satin Sheen Lip Stylo in Maple – delivers a pigmented but sheer veil of colour for the lips.
- Mini Intense Colour Lip Liner Duo in Razzleberry and Maple – a handy dual-ended lip pencil, each shade works perfectly with the mini Lip Stylo.
- Mini Cleansing Balm in Strawberry – a balm-to-oil cleanse that makes light work of removing every trace of makeup and leaves skin feeling soft, smooth and fresh.
- Mini Beauty Sponge – arguably the cutest product in the set, this mini-sized sponge is ideal for applying your base, especially touch-ups under the eyes and around the nose.
A gift set that’s genuinely useful
With the festive season edging closer, this works brilliantly as a gift set. The mini sizes make it ideal for stocking fillers, your work Secret Santa or as a gift for a makeup-obsessed friend. It also works perfectly as a ready-made weekend away makeup bag.
Plus, all of MUA Makeup Academy products are 100% vegan and cruelty-free, with accreditation from Cruelty Free International and the Vegetarian Society.
