Your Mum has looked after you for years and now it’s your Wedding day and you are the centre of attention, but you also want to make sure that your Mum is spoilt as well.

We have so many occasions where Mum’s say after they have their hair and make up professionally done…”Wow, I’ m so glad that I did choose to be booked in as well, and I have really enjoyed the experience”…

Your Mum may feel that the day is all about you and she don’t want to make a fuss…or she may think that having their makeup down may make them look older or your Mum  has had the same hairdresser for years and think it would be easier to have it done with someone they are familiar with….

Some tips in helping you plan your Mums hair and make up are..

* Your Mum may like to come into the Powder Room salon to have a haircut or co our in the lead up to the day, then we can help guide Mum with the Wedding day look…a change can be great too.

* You are still you! So choose a hairstyle that embraces  the general qualities in what you like to look like.  Don’t go for drastic change for example if you are 100% grey, don’t have a full head colour, choose some highlights to work with your tone of grey.  Make sure you have more time in the lead up to the Wedding may, take the time to get to know your stylist, try to go to the same stylists a few times in the lead up to the big day, look for an artist that LISTENS to who you are!  Check out our Powder Room salon prices at our New Farm based salon.

* Looking after your Mums skin care regime as well…hydrating facials and oxygen plumping treatments can help the look of the foundation on the Wedding day…it’s a good excuse to spoil Mum more.

* Make up application is best applied with make up brushes, using a foundation brush really helps the foundation be buffed into the skin and not just sit on top of the skin.  Preparation of skin is also essential, using smoothing serums and primers, to ensure the foundation lasts.

*Guess what Mum’s can have airbrush make up too!! It is always relative to skin type, so chat to your artist.

* Light reflecting concealers and powders are also amazing to ensure the most flawless finish.

*Eyebrows are considered the border of your face, so don’t forget to have them groomed prior the the Wedding day and making sure that you have them done a few days prior so that all redness has disappeared.  Correct brow make up application can even lift the eyes.

* Don’t be afraid of a few individual temporary lash extensions on the Wedding day as if the correct size is chosen for your Wedding day they can really open up your eye shape.

 
*And one last final tip…. don’t hesitate, if you would like to secure The Powder Room for your Wedding day hair and make up fill out our online Booking form today and secure your date with a deposit, chat to one of our friendly coordinators today.

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”

What a beautiful bride! Preeya Ramritu our  stunning Indian bride was married on the 24th January and our taented stylist Tracie looked after Preeya’s hair and make up on her special day.


Preeya’s long gorgeous hair framed her face perfectly with soft curls. This half up half down up Wedding hairstyle is perfect it you would like to wear you hair down but want to have more security in knowing it will last longer.  Hair was set in hot rollers, then gently tonged using a thermal setting spray.  Working around the part hair was pinned softly in individual sections creating some height on top of the head.


The eyes are always the focal point of a Indian brides’s make up Preeya’s make up  was absolutely flawless with shimmering shades of silver and smokey purples and of course lots of luscious lashes!  We love using Laura Mercier, “Metallic creme eye colour in Alloy” under eye shadows to help the shadow stay all night!  One of our favourites brands of foundation to use slightly darker skin tones is “Mac” face and body, can’t live without it!


Preeya chose to wear Powder Room’s “Lips with Love” Lipstick in “Unforgettable”.  Visit our Powder Room store, to check out more colours to say I do!

Our Powder Room brides were treated to insiders tips on planning their Wedding day hair and make up.

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).”
