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!
