Moira

What Moira does

Moira Beauty is a US-based direct-to-consumer cosmetics brand founded in 2017 and headquartered in Commerce, California, that develops and sells a comprehensive range of makeup and skincare products to individual beauty consumers and wholesale retail buyers. The product portfolio spans face (foundations with up to 36 shades, primers, blush, bronzer, contour, highlight, setting sprays), eyes (a 24HR eyeliner family with five applicator variants, multichrome and chrome gel liners, liquid and cream shadows, palettes, mascaras), lips (liners, tints, balms, oils, lipsticks), and curated skincare collections including Oil Control, Hyaluronic Acid, Rose, Cica, Hemp Seed Aloe Vera, and Vitamin C Glow lines. Core technical differentiation sits in specialty pigment and formulation work — color-shifting multichrome and chrome technologies (Supernova, Space Chameleon, Diamond Daze, Starstruck Chrome), pH-reactive color (Chroma Kiss pH Tint Oil), long-wear polymer systems (24HR liners, 16HR Seal primer and setting spray) — alongside a clean-beauty compliance stack (PETA-certified cruelty-free, 100% vegan, paraben-, gluten-, and sulfate-free).

The business operates a multi-channel go-to-market: a Shopify-based DTC e-commerce site at moirabeauty.com is the primary revenue engine, augmented by iOS and Android mobile apps, a recurring Moira Membership subscription program, and a digital gift card offering. Distribution extends into physical retail through CVS pharmacy stores with dedicated in-store signage and an integrated store locator, into B2B wholesale through the Faire marketplace, and onto Amazon. The brand ships globally (North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, South America, Middle East), with free US shipping on orders over $35 and bundle promotions at the $60+ threshold. Pricing is fragmented across hundreds of SKUs at $5–$25 for typical items, with premium bundles (e.g., 24-shade Chroma Light Shadow at $125, 18-shade Diamond Daze bundle at $148) extending the upper end.

The company markets through TikTok-led social content, email newsletters, press coverage in publications including Glamour, Essence, and Harper's Bazaar India, and customer review integration via Judge.me (9,519+ verified reviews, Top 1% platform ranking). A April 2026 partnership with Miraculous Corp extended the brand into an immersive Paris-based experiential activation. Christine Ko is the founder and creative director. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and 11–50 employees.
