At Moira Beauty, we love hearing from the pros who use our products daily to create stunning makeup looks. Today, we sat down with a professional makeup artist, Avleen Bansal, to dive into their favorite Moira products and why they make such an impact on their work. From bridal glam to editorial shoots, here’s what they had to say about their go-to Moira essentials and how they elevate every makeup look.

Q: What drew you to Moira Beauty as a makeup artist?

Avleen Bansal : As a makeup artist, I’m always on the lookout for products that are high-performing, versatile, and deliver amazing results across different skin types and tones. Moira Beauty really caught my eye because of its quality and affordability. It’s a brand that offers professional-level products, but they’re accessible to everyone. Plus, the range is incredible—there’s something for every makeup style, from soft, natural looks to bold, editorial glam.

Q: What are your top three favorite Moira products and why?

Avleen Bansal : One of my absolute favorites is the Complete Wear Foundation. As a makeup artist, I need a foundation that can offer buildable coverage and look flawless under any lighting—whether it's for a photoshoot, a bridal party, or an everyday glam. This is the best full coverage foundation for oily skin as it provides that perfect balance. It’s lightweight but offers amazing coverage, and it blends effortlessly into the skin. I can sheer it out for a natural finish or build it up for full glam without it looking cakey. Plus, it lasts all day, so I don’t have to worry about touch-ups during long events.

Pro Tip: Always apply it with a damp beauty sponge for that airbrushed, skin-like finish!

Avleen Bansal : The Signature Ombre Blush is another standout for me. The ombre design allows me to create a custom blusher look—whether my client wants a soft flush or a more defined pop of color. It’s also super blendable, and the texture is silky, which means it doesn’t sit on top of the skin but rather melts into it. I love using it for bridal clients who want a natural glow that will last all day and look gorgeous in photos.

Pro Tip: Sweep a little of the lighter end of the blush onto the eyelids for a monochromatic look that ties the whole face together.

Avleen Bansal : As someone who loves playing with color, the Sky's The Limit Pressed Pigment Palette is a dream. The pigment payoff in this eyeshadow palette is intense, and the shades are so vibrant and versatile. It’s perfect for creating beautiful eye makeup including everything from soft, neutral looks to bold, creative designs. I also love the mix of matte and shimmer shades, which allows me to play with dimension and texture in my eye looks. The staying power of these pigments is also phenomenal—they last all day without creasing, which is essential for long events or photoshoots.

Pro Tip: Use a wet brush to apply the shimmer shades for a more intense, foil-like finish.

Q: How do you incorporate Moira products into your bridal makeup routine?

Avleen Bansal : When I’m doing bridal makeup, longevity, good makeup base, and a radiant finish are key. Moira’s products help me achieve both of those. I always start with the Illuminating Glow Primer to create a flawless & radiant canvas. This recommended primer minimizes pores and fine lines, which is crucial for brides who want to look smooth and glowy in photos.

After applying the Complete Wear Foundation and Mega Waterproof Concealer to perfect the skin, I’ll use the Sun Glow Face & Body Highlighter on the high points of the face—cheekbones, brow bones, and down the bridge of the nose. Brides love that lit-from-within glow, and this highlighter gives the perfect soft shimmer without being overpowering. 

For eyes, I often use the Glitter Glitter Liner for brides who want a subtle sparkle on their lids. It adds just the right amount of glamor without being too dramatic. To finish the look, the Matte Liquid Lips soft pinks or nude tones are perfect for long-lasting wear that stays comfortable and doesn’t require constant touch-ups. Another standout product is the Soft Focus Waterproof Setting Powder which is hands down the best compact powder for brides and a product everyone must check out. 

Q: Do you have any favorite Moira products for editorial or creative shoots?

Avleen Bansal : Absolutely! For editorial or creative shoots, it’s all about experimentation and boldness. The Fun Is In The Air Pressed Pigment Palette is a must have eye palette for these types of looks. The color payoff is intense, and it allows me to play with vibrant, bold shades that really pop on camera. I also love the Starshow Shadow Pots for creating high-impact looks. Whether I’m doing something avant-garde or more fashion-forward, the loose pigment formula infused with micro-fine glitters and light-reflecting pearls help to create multidimensional looks every time.

For skin, the Micro Dot Setting Spray is a lifesaver. This makeup fixer locks everything in place, but it also gives this beautiful, dewy finish that looks amazing under studio lights. The makeup stays put without losing that fresh, glowing quality.

Q: How do you feel Moira products cater to different skin types and tones?

Avleen Bansal : That’s one of the things I love most about Moira—they really prioritize inclusivity. The foundations, concealers, and even the lip and eye products work well across different skin tones. The Complete Wear Foundation range has shades that cater to a wide variety of undertones, which is something I appreciate as a makeup artist working with diverse clients.

The formulas are also skin-friendly. Whether someone has dry, oily, or combination skin, I’ve found that Moira’s products work beautifully across the board. For example, the Glow Getter Hydrating Lip Oil is perfect for clients with dry lips, and the Mega Waterproof Concealer works wonders for those with oily skin. It’s great to have products I can rely on no matter who is in my chair.

Q: Any final thoughts on why you love working with Moira Beauty?

Avleen Bansal : Honestly, Moira makes my job easier. The products are high-quality, versatile, and easy to work with, which means I can create any look my clients or projects require. Plus, they’re affordable without sacrificing performance. I love that I can recommend these products to clients, knowing they’re getting something professional-grade at a price point they’ll love. Moira has truly become a staple in my kit, and I can’t wait to see what new innovations they come up with next!
