Let’s be real: no one has the time (or the patience) to do a full face of makeup twice a day , especially when the summer sun is already testing our will to stay put-together. But what if we told you that you could go from desk to dinner, from “on calls” to cocktails, using just five Moira faves?

Yes, you read that right. Five summer makeup products. One breezy summer makeup look. Zero stress.

Whether you're powering through work meetings or heading out for sangrias after sundown, here are some makeup Tips For Summer to glow up without the fuss.

Summer makeup step by step

Step 1: Hydrate + Prime with Moira’s Dream Canvas Primer

Let’s start with the unsung hero of long-lasting makeup: a good primer. The Moira's Dream Canvas Primer smooths, hydrates, and grips your makeup all day — no creasing, no slipping, just pure flawlessness.

Why we love it: It gives your skin that “I drink 3 litres of water a day” energy (even when you don’t). It’s also lightweight, non-greasy, and totally breathable because summer makeup looks like skin, not frosting.

Step 2: A 2-in-1 Moment with Signature Ombre Blush

Next up, multitasking magic. Our Signature Ombre Blush isn’t just a blush. It’s a sunlit flush and a soft-focus eyeshadow in one. Swipe it on the cheeks for a radiant pop, then dust a bit over your lids to tie the whole look together.

Pro tip: Use your fingers for the eyes — the warmth helps it melt in and look even more natural. Time saved and space in your bag? Yes please.

Step 3: Add a Pop with Matte Liquid Lips in 024 Rosey

Nothing transforms a face faster than a bold lip. Our Matte Liquid Lips in 024 Rosey is the perfect muted rose for daytime chic and evening sass. One swipe = rich pigment, smooth texture, and a velvety finish that won’t budge (even through dinner and dessert).

Desk hack: Dab a little on your finger and tap it onto your cheeks for an impromptu blush if you're running late. It blends like a dream.

Step 4: Shine Bright with Sun Glow Face & Body Highlighter

Okay, this one’s a crowd-favourite for a reason. The Moira's Sun Glow Face & Body Highlighter gives you that “golden hour” vibe anytime, anywhere. Use it on your cheekbones, inner corners of the eyes, Cupid’s bow — even your collarbone if you're heading somewhere a little fancy.

Dinner hack: Pop some on the bridge of your nose and temples right before you leave the office. It instantly takes your look from fresh to fierce.

Step 5: Add Glam with Glitter Glitter Liner

The cherry on top? A swipe of Moira's Glitter Glitter Liner. Whether you're going for subtle sparkle or full glam, this liner adds just the right amount of edge to your look. Use it to line your upper lash line, or dot it into your inner corners to open up the eyes.

Pick your shade: Silver for cool-toned sparkle, gold for that warm goddess energy.

Final Look: Effortless, Glowy, and Totally You

With these 5 summer makeup look staples, you’re out the door in minutes and glowing well into the night. The best part? No touch-ups needed (unless you count admiring yourself in bathroom mirrors all evening).
