A primer is a pre-makeup product applied to the face to prepare the skin for seamless makeup application. It acts as a base that smoothens the skin's surface, minimizes pores, blurs imperfections, and enhances the longevity of your makeup. At Moira, we understand that the perfect makeup canvas begins with a high-quality primer. Explore our range of meticulously curated primers designed to cater to diverse skin types and specific needs, ensuring a flawless and long-lasting makeup application.

Using a primer in your makeup routine offers several key benefits that can significantly enhance the overall look and longevity of your makeup. 

Why should you use a primer for face

1. Smooth Canvas: Primer creates a smooth and even canvas by filling in fine lines, wrinkles, and pores. This allows for a more seamless application of foundation and other makeup products, resulting in a flawless finish.

2. Enhanced Makeup Longevity: Primers help makeup stay in place for longer periods. They create a barrier between your skin and makeup, preventing oils from breaking down the foundation or other products, thus extending the wear-time of your makeup.

3. Improved Makeup Adherence: Applying primer helps makeup products adhere better to the skin. This adherence can prevent makeup from settling into fine lines or creases, ensuring a more even and polished appearance throughout the day.

4. Oil Control: Some primers are formulated specifically for oily skin types, helping to control excess oil production. Primer for oily skin creates a mattifying effect, reducing shine and keeping makeup looking fresh for an extended period.

5. Pore Minimization: Certain primers can minimize the appearance of pores, creating a smoother surface for makeup application. They work by filling in and blurring the appearance of pores, resulting in a more refined complexion.

6. Color Correction: Some primers are tinted to address specific skin concerns, such as redness or dullness. These color-correcting primers help neutralize imperfections, providing a more balanced base for makeup application.

7. Hydration and Nourishment: Primers tailored for dry skin types often contain hydrating ingredients that moisturize the skin, ensuring a comfortable and supple base for makeup without emphasizing dry patches.

8. Prevents Makeup Oxidation: Primer acts as a barrier between the skin's natural oils and makeup, reducing the chances of makeup oxidation (color changes due to skin oils), ensuring the makeup retains its original color for longer.

Overall, incorporating a primer into your makeup routine helps create a flawless base, improves makeup longevity, addresses specific skin concerns, and ensures a more polished and professional-looking finish, making it an essential step in achieving a perfected makeup look.

Fixer

A setting spray or makeup fixer setting spray is a cosmetic product used in makeup applications to set and hold makeup in place. It typically comes in a spray bottle and is designed to be misted over the face after applying makeup. The spray usually contains ingredients that create a fine mist when sprayed onto the skin.

Purpose of Setting sprays

1. Makeup Setting: Setting sprays help lock in makeup, preventing it from smudging, melting, or fading throughout the day. It creates a protective barrier over the makeup, aiding its longevity.

2. Hydration and Refreshment: Some fixer sprays contain hydrating ingredients like glycerin or hyaluronic acid, providing a boost of hydration to the skin and preventing makeup from looking dry or cakey.

3. Matte or Dewy Finish: Setting sprays come in different formulations, offering various finishes. Some provide a matte finish, controlling excess oil and shine, while others offer a dewy or luminous finish for a fresh, glowing look.

4. Makeup Blending: In addition to setting makeup, setting sprays can help blend makeup layers together for a seamless and natural appearance, especially when applied before makeup application and after layering different products.

How to use a fixer spray

Using a setting spray is a simple yet essential step to ensure your makeup stays in place throughout the day. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use setting spray effectively:

1. Prep Your Face: Complete your makeup routine, including foundation, concealer, blush, bronzer, eyeshadow, and lipstick, before using setting spray.

2. Shake the Bottle: Give the setting spray bottle a good shake before use to ensure the ingredients are well-mixed.

3. Hold the Bottle at Arm's Length: Hold the setting spray bottle about 8-10 inches away from your face. This distance ensures an even mist without over-saturating the skin.

4. Close Your Eyes and Mouth: To prevent the product from getting into your eyes or mouth, close your eyes and keep your mouth shut while spraying.

5. Spray in a 'T' or 'X' Motion: Begin by spraying the setting spray in a 'T' shape across your face, then follow up with an 'X' motion. This technique ensures even coverage.

6. Allow It to Set: Let the setting spray air dry naturally. Avoid fanning or blowing on your face to speed up the drying process, as this may disrupt the setting spray's efficacy.

7. Optional Additional Layer: For a stronger hold, you can apply an additional layer of setting spray after the first layer has dried. Repeat the same spraying technique as before.

8. Keep Eyes Closed for a Few Seconds: After applying the setting spray, keep your eyes closed for a few moments to allow the mist to settle and set properly.

9. Avoid Touching Your Face: Refrain from touching or rubbing your face immediately after applying setting spray to prevent smudging or disrupting the makeup.

10. Reapply Throughout the Day: If needed, reapply setting spray later in the day to refresh your makeup and extend its wear.

Following these steps will help ensure that your makeup is locked in place, giving you a longer-lasting, flawless look. Adjust the amount of setting spray used based on your preferences and the longevity you desire for your makeup.
