MUA Retouch
panel
The Makeup Artist (MUA) Retouch panel is a Photoshop plugin created by beauty industry professionals for high-end beauty and makeup retouching. It is programmed to mimic the effects of real makeup and color correctors, so your retouching matches how makeup actually behaves.
Designed to be used independently, or paired with Beauty Retouch for a complete beauty workflow.
What Each Panel Does
Two panels that complete each other.
Beauty Retouch carries all phases of a typical professional beauty retouching workflow. The MUA Retouch panel's functionality mimics the effects of real makeup and color correctors. In beauty and fashion, where skin tones and makeup are central to the image, using both panels gives photographers and retouchers one seamless, streamlined workflow.

Incredibly useful, even though I am biased.
Over a decade ago, as I got busier with beauty photography and retouching work, I gradually built and refined a set of actions for myself to save time on the repetitive tasks I was doing in every image. A Retouching Academy colleague suggested we bake them into a Photoshop panel to keep them organized, and because other artists might want them too. We did, and the rest is history.
Refined over a decade of commercial beauty and wellness work, and the day-to-day production at our Avenue visual production studio. These are the tools we use.
“As a makeup artist, photographer and retoucher all in one, I can say this panel changed my life!”

The questions we hear most.
What are the RA panels?+
Professional retouching panels for Photoshop. They are modern UXP plugins that speed up beauty, fashion and portrait retouching: skin and facial features, hair and makeup, luminosity masking, selections, color, finishing, smart liquify, sharpening, export and more. You can even add six of your own custom actions on tap. Built by working beauty photographers and retouchers, and a makeup artist who shoots and retouches his own work. In professional use since 2013.
Even if you begin each retouch with a first pass on an AI platform, professional retouching requires a more detailed finish in Photoshop, especially if you work (or are looking to begin to work) with commercial clients. These panels help get to the finish line faster and save you hours of retouching work in the long run.
What's the difference between Beauty Retouch and MUA Retouch?+
Beauty Retouch handles your full beauty and portrait workflow. MUA Retouch focuses on makeup and color correction, but has a few key retouching scripts so it can be used on its own, too. The SuperPack bundles both.
Do I need Adobe Photoshop?+
Yes. The panels run inside Adobe® Photoshop® 2021 (v22.0) or later on macOS and Windows. Beauty Retouch v5's AI-augmented features require Photoshop 2024 (v25.3) or later.
Will it run on my computer?+
The panels run in the latest licensed versions of Photoshop on macOS and Windows, including Apple silicon (M-series).
Do the panels use AI? Will it take over my work?+
The AI-augmented tools speed up specific steps and get you to the finish line faster, but your taste, judgment and standards stay in control. Professional beauty, fashion and portrait work always needs a careful finishing pass in Photoshop that AI apps and platforms can't match today.
What do I get when I buy?+
A license for up to 2 computers, your first year of Maintenance & Support, the free Photoshop Essentials for Beauty Retouching course, all detailed video tutorials, practice beauty images, and free future installation files for new Photoshop versions while your subscription is active.
What if it's not for me?+
Every purchase is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Are the panels actually used by professionals?+
Yes. Our panels are used by 20,100+ photographers and retouchers worldwide, including in-house teams at world-class cosmetics brands and creative studios.
