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.”

Sharon has started a fabulous business called Your Move Fitness and works with brides prior to their big day to help them get fit, lost weight and feel fantastic.

Just being a bride herself, Sharon understands the pressure to look amazing on your wedding day and how hard it can be sometimes to fit exercise in amongst all of the wedding plans. That’s why Sharon has put together a fool-proof and stress-free program to enable you to achieve your fitness and weight loss goals before the big day.

Sharon has a passion for health and all the benefits that regular exercise brings, and is committed to helping you achieve the body that you desire for your wedding day.  Sharon understands that exercise means different things to different people, from toning up and feeling great, to training for more goal-directed fitness events in the lead up to your big day.  Her calm and encouraging personality will cater for all your exercise needs.

We just adored Kelly Hutchinson’s hair created by our stylist Bridgette. Wedding Fascinators or bird cage veils are really popular this season.  Kelly’s was just perfect as it sat just over the front of the face and the bow looked so cute!

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!

The Powder Room and 4005 Photography combined forces again this week to create another fashion photoshoot, the feature in this shoot was a new hair product called “White Ice”.


Sarah, our model was very fair and had a light coverage of freckles. A combination of airbrush makeup, airstocking and Mac strobe cream were used to create flawless luminous skin.


The glamour of Hollywood hairstyles has once again influenced our look. Soft, seductive waves cascade around Sarah’s shoulders. Our favourite dress was a MXM Couture creation worn previously by Miss World at a red carpet event. The other gorgeous flowing dress was a Gail Sorronda creation and suited the shoot perfectly.


Sarah’s makeup was created by one of our very talented Powder Room Wedding makeup artist. She incorporated soft shades of spring, pale satin shadows in white, peachy-pinks and doll like lashes. Cheeks glowed with a pearly apricot cream blusher and lips complete the look with our best selling lips with love lipstick in Miss Amour.

In the last 6 months a revolution has taken place with hair, soft ripple waves are the main attraction as was seen at the Oscars this year. Hair is shiny, soft and feminine.


At our last training day we created this gorgeous hairstyle on our lovely model, Sarah.


The hair was initially set, brushed through with serum smoothed to the ends adding impeccable shine and control. The hair was then hot tong moulded to create the soft ripple wave across the face. A pony tail was banded at the back left, nape of the neck. Large sections of hair were gently twisted, rouched and loosely pinned into the pony tail to create a full, textured, bun-like shape.


The front waved sections were pinned into the back of the hairstyle asymmetrically, one side was a loose braid, the other side pinned lower over the ear for that sassy vintage style. Beautifully accessorised with a crystal, silk flower, individually created by Leanne from Lila Designs.


A great technique for getting super long hair up securely so you can dance the night away!

Wow, what a night!! The 2009 Oscars was an evening of amazing updo’s, shiny boudoir waves, sleek soft buns and soft undone chignons. Every year we can’t wait to see what the stars look like on the red carpet and The Powder Room’s annual collection is inspired from evenings like these. Wedding hair and Make up has never been so sexy, feminine and soft.

We just loved Angelina Jolie’s soft romantic long curls. The half updo created the most amazing profile. Angelina’s soft French nude look make up eluded feminine simplicity with her signature eyeliner being the focus of the look.

Amanda Seyfried’s gorgeous soft waves, had the most amazing shine. The perfect hair for this look is highlighted blonde hair with a slight natural wave and the weight of long hair. When choosing a hairstyle it looks even more amazing if you have chosen a style to suit your hair type.

To create Frida Pinto’s beautiful hairstyle that looks so easy and comfortable to wear, shiny hair is a must. Hot rolling the hair for preparation, then brushing thoroughly through and loosely pinning the back to one side. Leave out a section on top, gently tease and pin back of the face. Perfect for the grown out fringe.

Kate Winslet’s Grace kelly inspired hair style was the type of style that you either loved or just didn’t. From the back we think it looked amazing, the moulded texture, wave and flawless finish was elegant. In choosing this hairstyle be sure that your stylist gets the balance right or it could end up looking too wide at the back of the hairstyle.

Marion Cotillard’s sleek French Twist is so classic, a style that will never date in your Wedding day photo’s. A little tip if wearing a veil, the veil would need to be worn high on the head. Why not try a fascinator!!

Rachel Wood looks chic and sophisticated. Perfectly coiffured and looks amazing on a redhead!!

Last Sunday The Powder Room together with 4005 Photography let their creative juices loose and created a Twilight inspired Fashion Photo Shoot. (If you look closely you can even see the tiny fangs! )

The photo shoot was for International Hair Cosmetics and will be showcased in hairdressing salons internationally and as a feature in the Australian Hairdressers Journal.

All of us girls here in the Powder Room are Twilight addicts and have read the whole series and also discovered the TV series True Blood, so it was fun for us to be part of creating the look for the shoot.

The lipstick used for the shoot was one of our own Powder Room lips with love lipsticks in ‘Smitten’ with our ‘Sultry’ Lipgloss.

See what you think about the end result below.
