Powder Room is on Twitter, follow us at PowderRoomChic!

On Twitter RealWeddingIdea tweeted that one of our brides was featured our beautiful brides SharonTaylor.   Sharon’s hair was one of our favourite looks, that old hollywood vintage finger waves. Real Wedding ideas is an online compilation on real Australian Weddings.  Sharon’s Wedding dress was from Brisbane Wedding designers MXM Couture.

Sharon send us the most lovely testimonial:

“My hair and makeup stylists from The Powder Room did an amazing job making me look and feel stunning. When I look back at the photos there is nothing at all that I could change. I went into my trial with a vision in my head but a little apprehensive that I had nothing on paper, but the two lovely ladies were able to make my vision a reality, I was most impressed. The Powder Room offered impeccable service through the entire process, right from very first contact, and I would unquestionably recommend them.”

5 Tips to A Perfect Tanair_stocking


1. Exfoliate your body thoroughly, being sure to include your elbows, knees and feet.  Make sure all waxing is done at least 24 hours before.

2. Make sure you have showered and have no deodorant and moisturisers on the skin which can interfere with adhesion of the spray tan.

3. Wear loose fitting dark clothing.

4. Do not shower or exercise until the tan is fully developed.

5. Moisturise to hold onto the colour
