A Full Moira Makeup Look, Step by Step
Can you do a full face with just one brand? With Moira, you can. The brand has products to prep skin, conceal, add color, highlight, line your eyes, finish your lips and set everything at the end. In this guide we walk you through a step-by-step look using only Moira products we carry at BeautyRosee.
It is a versatile look: keep it soft for daytime or turn it up for a night out. We share the variations at the end.
What you will need
- Moira foaming cleanser (Cherry Blossom, Papaya or Peach).
- 10 hyaluronic acids serum or Dew Milk essence.
- Peptide and enzyme moisturizer.
- Mega Concealer.
- Stay Golden (cream bronzer and contour).
- Translucent loose Setting Powder or Soft Focus Setting Powder.
- Ombre Blush in Orange Blossom.
- Starstruck (chrome highlighting powder).
- Statement Gel Liner.
- Maxi Pout or Butter Bliss for lips.
- 16HR Seal setting spray (classic or mattifying).
You do not need all of them to get started. If you only have a few, just follow the steps that apply.
Step 1: prep your skin
Wash your face with a Moira foaming cleanser and pat it dry. Apply a few drops of hydrating serum or Dew Milk essence, then the peptide and enzyme moisturizer. Wait a few minutes for it to absorb before applying makeup. During the day, do not skip sunscreen.
Step 2: conceal with Mega Concealer
Mega Concealer has buildable coverage, so you can use it as a light base wherever you need it.
- Dot it under your eyes, around your nose and anywhere you want to even out.
- Blend with a damp sponge using a tapping motion.
- If you need more coverage, add a second thin layer only where needed.
Tip: to brighten your eyes, apply concealer in an inverted triangle under each eye. To master the sponge, read how to use a makeup sponge.
Step 3: contour and warmth with Stay Golden
Before any powder, apply Stay Golden:
- Under your cheekbones, from your ear toward the middle of your cheek.
- Along the sides of your forehead.
- A light touch under your jawline.
Blend upward with the sponge or a dense brush until no lines are visible.
Step 4: set with powder
With a large brush or a puff, apply translucent powder to your T-zone and under your eyes. If your skin is oily or you will be out for hours, the water-resistant Soft Focus Setting Powder is a great choice.
Step 5: Ombre Blush
Blend the gradient shades with a soft brush and apply to the high points of your cheeks, sweeping toward your temples. For a fresher effect, add a light touch to the tip of your nose.
Step 6: highlight with Starstruck
With a small brush, apply Starstruck to the highest point of your cheekbone, your cupid's bow and the bridge of your nose. Tap off the excess well: a little goes a long way. Get more tips in our Moira blush and highlighter guide.
Step 7: line with Statement Gel Liner
For daytime, a thin line along the lashes. For evening, a cat eye. Work in short strokes with very little product on the brush. New to gel liner? Follow our Moira gel eyeliner guide.
Step 8: lips
- For a soft look: Butter Bliss, the hydrating balm.
- For fuller-looking lips: Maxi Pout, the plumping gloss.
- Together: balm first to hydrate, gloss on top for shine.
Step 9: set with 16HR Seal
To finish, hold the setting spray about 8 inches from your face and mist in an X and then a T. Let it dry without touching. If your skin gets shiny during the day, choose the mattifying version.
