Powder Room new hair and make up Bridal collection – Sneak Peak

Monday, June 28th, 2010

Ask Wedding Make Up Expert Karen Sargaison from the Powder RoomChoosing your Wedding hairstyle can sometimes be a challenge, you are left wondering “What will it look like on me”  and you do want it to be extra special!  You are also trying to imagine what it will all look like together, that is your dress, Veil, or should you have a fascinator!  I know how confusing!!  Well don’t worry as when we meet you at your pre Wedding trial we make sure we have plenty of time to help you create that special look as we allow double the time to that of your Wedding day and of course the same stylist that you meet on your trial day is the same that spoils you on the Wedding day.

Just wanted to share with you all a sneak peak at one of our new Bridal collection images photographed a few weeks ago. Powder Stylists have created 8 new looks to be launched in the December edition of  Brisbane Bride Magazine out in December! We all love a red head, Katie’s hair is naturally curly and is softly pinned of the face with one section. The Wedding updo, flows softly to one side, using a hair padding to create the gorgeous shape.

Wedding make up was inspired by Katie’s beautiful porcelain skin, soft  warm apricot gold tones and shimmery iridescent cheeks, perfect for a Spring Wedding.  Lips lacquered with Powder Room’s “Lips with Love”  I Do lipstick and Last Flirt gloss.  Visit our Powder Room store to purchase your very own Powder Room shade!

Katie looked so beautiful in a dress by “Paddington Weddings” .

Beautiful brisbane bride – Princess Toyah Purrington

Friday, April 16th, 2010


“Just wanted to thank you both again for doing my hair and make-up and making me look beautiful and my skin look immaculate.  The make-up and hair stayed in place all day and I just loved the false lashes (they stayed put too).

I have recommended you on the ABIA website as well, rating you as perfect. I would highly recommend you to anyone needing hair and make-up for their big day, I felt like a Princess.

Thank you so much,

Princess Toyah Purrington”



Toyah got married last December and Jody and Jill – super Powder Stylists.  The girls loved spending the day with Toyah and her family.  We received a lovely email testimonial and these gorgeous pictures and Toyah signed her email “Princess Toyah Purrington”, which made us chuckle, Toyah really was a princess!


Chignon hairstyles are the most formal updo hairstyles at Hollywood red carpet events.  Toyah’s High bun chignon was the type of updo that you could wear all year round and it would be amazing for those warm weather Weddings.


Celebrity hairstyles looks, are always what we “google” when searching for that perfect Wedding day hairstyle. Some of our favourite looks at the moment are that of Kate Bosworth, that perfect ballerina bun and Jessica Alba with the messier more casual updo.


Vintage Wedding headpiece – Beautiful Powder Room bride

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

Cathy Lucas our Gorgeous Brisbane bride from last week, Easter Thursday was in amazing spirits, despite the happenings before her Wedding day.


Cathy managed to loose her engagement ring and some one stole her vintage headpiece before the Wedding day when she accidentally left it in a cafe.  The House of Windsor worked through the night to make her a new headpiece.  Cathy looked so beautiful with her simple Wedding hairstyle and amazing headpiece.


Cathy’s Wedding make up was a sexy and alluring. Charcoals and darkest navy tones really bring out Cathy’s amazing eyes!   Using a good quality primer really does help the foundation last all night.  Cathy ever so kissable lip colour was one of our favourites, Powder Room’s “Lips with Love” Ms Amour and Gloss shade “Pink Champagne” …muwwhhhh!


“The Powder Room ladies in the background were so calm, and I never doubted for a minute that we wouldn’t look like film stars!  Thank you for making us feel so special, I almost want to get married all over again, so I can look this good:) Thanks Cath”
