5 clever tricks that will up your bridal makeup and skincare game

Get the most out of your loose powder

1/5

We know most of you would use loose powder for finishing off a look and mattifying skin when it starts to get oily, but did you know you could actually use loose powder for so much more than that?

Out of dry shampoo? Using loose powder in its place will bring similar results. 

Want thicker lashes while using mascara? Brush some loose powder on your lashes and coat with mascara once more. 

We recommend: Hourglass's Veil Translucent Setting Powder, $76, Sephora 

A finely-milled, weightless powder formulated with light-reflecting particles to instantly blur imperfections in an innovative sifter designed to dispense the perfect amount of product.

Use moisturiser to dilute the colour of blush, bronzer and eyeshadow

Just dabbing a little bit (and we mean a little bit!) of moisturizer onto the apples of your cheeks where you put blusher can help to soften its look and give yourself a natural, muted finish.

Same goes to your bronzer and eyeshadow!
