Priya, one of our beautiful Brisbane brides for this week end came in today for her Wedding trial hair and make up, with Tracie and Aimee and we thought she looked so gorgeous that we wanted to share her trial picture with you.


Priya’s make up was airbrushed and looks just perfect, lips looked lovely in Powder Room’s Lips with Love lipstick –  ”Two Hearts” and lipgloss “Spring Fling”.

We wish Priya the best for her special day and look forward to seeing her this weekend:)  We can’t wait to see Priya in her Wedding dress…

Brisbane Wedding Beauty, Rachel Belonogov, nee Condon sent us this gorgeous photo of her Wedding day hair and make up with a love note of appreciation:)

We think Rachel’s choice of Wedding hairstyle a side swept style looked so fresh and elegant. Curly hairstyles are more popular than ever and this style is a perfect choice for the warm weather.  Rachel’s make up was that of an “English Rose”, flushed cheeks and a pretty pink pout, created using Powder Room’s own - lips with love “Miss Amour”.  The key is to look like you have just had your first kiss!

“To the Powder Room ladies,

This is just a quick email to thank you all for making my wedding day a spectacular day.  All the pampering and attention to detail made me feel truly beautiful.

I had endless compliments on how beautiful I looked… and I have The Powder Room to thank for that.

And the best bit was that my hair and makeup was flawless all day and night long! I couldn’t believe it (and neither could any of my bridesmaids).”

Our beautiful Brisbane Bride, Annika Ericson came in to our New Farm Studio, just 5 mins from Brisbane’s CBD on her wedding day to have her hair done with our Premier stylist, Karen.

Annika’s bob length hair looked soft and romantic gently tousled with Vintage curls, styled with a stunning crystal hairpiece.

See her gorgeous look from the day.

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.”

“Thanks to Karen and her team, I feel that I looked better on my wedding day than I have ever looked before. That was a big confidence booster and made me feel great. The morning of pampering and being made beautiful was lots of fun and a great way to ward off nerves. The fun experience and the fantastic results certainly helped me to really enjoy our wedding. Now that the day is over we have great photos – I look like me, but somehow so much better!”

Dear Powder Room,

Thank you very much for looking after us on our wedding day. We had a great day and our stylists were both so lovely and professional. Thanks for keeping me relaxed! I would highly recommend The Powder Room to anyone getting married!!!

Sera was such a beautiful bride! She had a traditional ceremony in fabulous traditional dress then changed into a gorgeous wedding gown for her reception.

Sera, blessed with a perfect darker complexion, was enhanced with airbrushing makeup. The foundation was luminous and the cheeks soft and barely there. Eyes were blended with a smokey sultry look and long luxurious lashes. To create the perfect pout we used The Powder Room’s own lipstick in Aisle be Yours and Lipgloss in Pink Champagne.

Makeup Tips for darker skins:

With a slightly darker skin tone, you may think you don’t need much bronzer, however it can even out the skin tone and give a luminous glow. Use a deep softly shimmery bronzer applied with a fluffy brush, on your cheekbones and forehead. We love the Mac Cosmetics bronzing Powder and why not enhance the look with our favourite blusher “Nars Orgasm Blush”, voted the best blush by industry professionals.  A must have for all skin tones!!

Sera sent us such a lovely thank you note:

To the Powder Room, On the 25/04/09 I hired your service on my wedding day and I would like to thank you for providing the best! ‘Exquisite hair and Make up’ is an understatement. I would like to extend my gratitude towards my stylists for that day, who met my needs and brought the best out of me! They took my fears and and brought out the confidence in me. I felt so beautiful! My bridesmaids and flower girl all looked amazing as well!… “You hit the spot!” …they said. lol!
From the bottom of my heart. Thank you again!
