Built for beauty professionals
While the Beauty Retouch Panel focuses on the broader professional retouching workflow, the MUA Retouch Panel was designed specifically for beauty and makeup retouching — helping creatives work faster, more consistently, and with greater control over beauty-focused details.
Created by beauty industry professionals, the panel is built around the logic of real makeup application and colour correction techniques, making it intuitive not only for retouchers, but also for photographers and makeup artists who retouch their own work.
Whether you are correcting skin tones, refining makeup colours, enhancing lashes and brows, adjusting facial volume, or preparing campaign-level beauty images, the panel helps streamline complex beauty-retouching processes into a cleaner and more organised workflow.
The MUA Retouch Panel can absolutely be used on its own, as it includes essential retouching tools and beauty-focused workflows. But when combined with the Beauty Retouch Panel, it creates a much more complete and powerful beauty retouching system — especially for high-end beauty, editorial, cosmetic, and fashion work.
Developed with insights from Julia Kuzmenko McKim and Jordan Liberty, the panel was created to bridge the gap between professional makeup artistry and advanced Photoshop retouching
