Powder Room has Twilight fever

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Hi again, it’s Karen and I must say Edward Cullen can bite my neck any day!!

The Twilight fever with the release of the  movie “New Moon” is so this second.  Powder Room stylists love seeing the influence of the celebrities hairstyles and make up, apart from the face that we have all read the books and are addicted.  We would of course love to do the hair and make up on the set.  You never know…..

The premier of the movie  in LA saw lots of liquid liner, severe hair and pale skin.

We absolutely loved celebrity Jenny Garth’s red carpet hairstyle.  The vampy braided quiff bob style looked so simple and fresh.  It looked amazing with defined dark eyes.  Mac Liquid last liner in point black gives that perfect black patent line and of course finished with lots of lashes.

Ashley Greene was another stunner on the red carpet.  Her hair looked amazing with her bouffant curls and the  help of extensions. The look was 60′s inspired.  Along with the black liner the inside of the eyes was lined with white liner, to open the eyes even more.  Shu Umemura’s Painting liner in White is a must for this season!

Extend hairpieces are a great way of adding extra length and no one will know, Powder Room can hire hairpieces for your Wedding day hairstyle, adding extra length and thickness to your hairstyle.  Ask your Powder stylist at your trial.

Looking Good, Feeling Good with FourZeroZeroFive Fotografie and The Powder Room!

Friday, November 6th, 2009

You know sometimes you have days where you meet someone and you just think Wow!! what an amazing lady and so inspiring.

We had the absolute pleasure of meeting a lovely lady by the name of Christine McRae a few weeks ago, introduced to us through FourZeroZeroFive Fotografie, and amazing stylist Tanya Mrnjaus, from ID Couture.

Id Couture fashion styling is designed to assist you in all matters of style.  Whether you are looking for a total makeover, or a swift style update, the ID couture style team can equip you to confidently manage your wardrobe.

We thought we would like to share a little about Christine and her book with you and show you how gorgeous she looked!

Christine McRae is known as “The Trail Blazing Woman”, The Trail Blazing Woman Website has been created to provide unique support and understanding for women whose partners suffer from depression.

If you would like to read more about Christine click on the link above.

Christine sent us the most lovely testimonial:

I want to express my sincere thanks to your team Sarah and Jody the vivacious and talented hair dresser who worked on my hair on Wednesday to make me look glamorous for my photoshoot.   The preparation for the  shoot was “seamless” and I so appreciated that. When I got back to work there was no keeping it a secret as to what I had been up to!  As soon as I got back to my work everyone noticed the glamorous look your team had created.   Some of the comments were:


  • “wow Chris- what have you done – you look just stunning”

  • “look at your make-up and your eyes – how fabulous they look – the make up has really highlighted the brilliant blue of your eyes – how did they do that?”

  • “Your hair looks fabulous and funky – gee you look fantastic”

  • “My God Chris – you just look so glamorous – who did your make-up and hair – I want to go there”


… So I became a living, walking advertisement for The Powder Room for the rest of the afternoon!   It was quite hilarious – not much work got done actually – I kept getting interrupted by people wanting to check out how I looked!  Lucky my boss was on leave.


I want to especially thank Sarah for her skilfulness and sensitivity in creating the look she did.  I have had my face made-up twice before for special occasions and I never came out looking like the look Sarah created.  I was thrilled and impressed with her quiet, professional touch.  I felt like a film star by the time my make-up and hair had been done and it really helped me to feel relaxed and confident for the photo-shoot. I also appreciated the attention I received through-out the shoot, touching up my make-up, changing my hair style etc.   It was a fabulous experience and I felt very respected and valued by your team.

Enormous Lashes

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Helooooo, sorry I haven’t been in touch in a while, been so busy at The Powder Room with so many Weddings.  I hope you haven’t forgotten about me, just in case my name is Karen, Powder Room’s youngest Make up artist and I have so excited about make up.  I have also just completed an airbrush make up  course and before you it won’t be long before I’ll be airbrushing all my brides.  Airbrush make up really is so popular at the moment.  Can you believe it we have so many Weddings booked for next year already, here I come!!  Anyway I wanted to chat about lately how much girls love big lashes.

Doesn’t everyone want luscious lashes?  It’s much easier to achieve with some home maintenance and a great product called  “Enormous Lashes”!  Sounds amazing doesn’t it!!

Applied morning and night along the lash line like eyeliner and then watch your lashes grow thicker, fuller, healthier and it adds volume.

What girl wouldn’t want that…..a Non irritating product that is safe for sensitive eyes. Available at Mecca Cosmetics for $150, a bit pricey, but if it does work it’s a small price to pay.  It has a 90 day money back guarantee. Internet reviews rate it quite highly, and some even use it on their eyebrows to thicken their brows.

Melbourne Cup Day @ The Stamford Plaza

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

Powder Room Pamper Stand

Every year The Powder Room go to The Stamford Plaza and pamper women attending The Melbourne cup luncheon.  It’s always such a fun day.  We give a prize every year for the best hat in which the lucky winner gets a Powder Pamper Session for themselves and a friend, including a Galvanic Facial treatment, a Makeup Lesson and a Powder Room Lipstick or Gloss.



The girls love seeing all the fashion and love the people watching.  Used on the day in touch up were our very own gorgeous “Powder Room, lips with Love” lipsticks and lipglosses.  The favourite colour of the day was “Spring Fling”, a sheer fruity melon shade, perfect for the season!!



Products can be purchased from our online boutique, why not spoil yourself or a loved one for Christmas!



A Galvanic Facial treatment is a 15 minute miracle! Using currents to enable ingredients to go deep into the skin, it removes impurities, detoxifies skin, refreshes, hydrates and leaves skin radiant whilst working on eliminating lines and wrinkles. “Nicole Kidman won’t go on the red carpet without a Galvanic Facial”. Great if you are feeling tired, puffy or dehydrated and is perfect for preparing your skin for your wedding day!



A Galvanic Facial Treatment can be done the day before your wedding and in the lead up (some of our brides have even purchased a Galvanic Spa for home maintenance). A treatment in our salon costs $45.

2009 Emmy’s Hair & Makeup

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

The Emmy’s this year were all about Classic, Sophisticated Hair and Makeup with lots of bling!

We saw a lot of Hollywood Glamour in the form of smooth low chignons, romantic waves and sophisticated updos. Debra Messing pulled the look off perfectly along with Heidi Klum and Christina Hendricks.

Emmy’s Makeup this year was light and fresh on the eyes amping up the glam with loads of lashes and pairing the look with a nude or matte lip. We loved Mila Kunis’ makeup and for more of a soft smokey look, we were a fan of Olivia Wilde!
