Sally booked the Powder Room for her Wedding day hair and make up. Paula, Jacqueline, Kayla and kate all looked after Sally’s Wedding party and it was wonderful to see this amazing video that Net Productions put together for Sally’s special day, I loved Sally’s speech, it was so beautiful, brought a tear to my eye…..Samantha you guys from Net Productions are the best, love your work!
One of our beautiful Brides to be Simone (getting married in September this year) booked Powder stylists Jody and Sarah to look after some of the cast member for a pre launch photo shoot a few weeks ago. Simone works with Queensland Theatre Company, and we are looking forward to spoiling Simone for her Wedding make up and hair. We are travelling out to Simone on the day to look after Simone and her bridesmaids. Simone met us when she booked for a special Occasion hair and make up last December.
We were pretty excited to meet, Sibylla Budd (from Secret Life of Us), Paul Bishop (from Blue Heelers) and Hugh Parker ( from Uk East Enders).
Sibylla arrived in New Farm straight off a flight and the girls had a about an hour to work their hair and make up magic. We had a lovely time with them and are now excited looking forward to the show, which starts on Sept 6th thru to 9th October.
If you’d like to go to the play at the Cremorne Theatre, book NOW QTIX Ph: 136246 qldtheatreco.com.au.
‘Betrayal” is a play about lifelong friends Jerry and Robert, rivals in the publishing world, but also rivals for the love of Robert’s wife Emma……can’t wait…anyway don’t you think Sibylla looks even more beautiful after some Powder pampering!
Planning your Wedding day is one day that your want everything to be absolutely perfect! You are marrying the man of your dreams and you want him to see you as the most beautiful goddess on the earth!…Ok enough of the romantics…I think most brides really want to enhance their inner beauty….and that’s where we come in!
Yes, we are the professionals and are fully equipped with the most up to date make up brands, such as Laura Mercer, Mac, Nars to name a few, hair styling tools and techniques, but really it’s also about what makes you feel good.
Not having met you before means that we have a lot to chat about in your Pre Wedding trial.
Here are some little tips when planning your Wedding hair and make up trial.
*When trying on your dream dress, try looking at the dress with your hair up and hair down, veil on and try different positions when you are considering your Wedding day hairstyle.
*Are you going to be wearing hair accessories, fresh flowers (some flower are seasonal) or other jewellery. Consider the length of the earrings that you will be wearing, and the hairstyle shape around the front of your face. Leanne from Lila designs is wonderful at helping brides choose their Wedding day hair accessories.
*Remember that a lot of photo’s are taken from front on, so make sure you love how you look from a front view.
*In choosing what to wear to your trial, choose a colour and neckline closest to your Wedding dress colour and shape, as strong colours can tend to effect the look of your finished make up.
*Try where possible to get a hair and make up trial on the same day to see the total look.
*Prepare your hair the day before the trial by shampooing twice and conditioning lightly, to ensure that your hair isn’t too soft for an upstyle trial. However if your hair does tend to be oilier then freshly wash and dry on the morning of the trial. Please always feel free to call and discuss with a Powder Room stylist prior to the trial.
*If you are someone that really loves make up and would like to show your make up artist how you wear your make up, you may like to come to the trial with your make up on to help communicate what your like.
*Ask yourself not only what you like, but also what you don’t like when pre planning looks.
*Where possible try to bring magazine cuts outs of style choices to communicate the looks you may be considering. Collect a collage of hair and make up styles that may suit your dress style and shape. Choose hair style and make up looks that are similar to your hair, skin colour, face shape, style of Wedding etc.
*Please let your stylist know if you have any sensitivities and what your skin care regime is (as for example if you are using MD Formulations some foundations may not adhere to your skin as well as others). Please also advise if you are on any medications that may effect your skin.
* It’s great to know colours of your bridesmaids dresses and flowers as well.
Last of all prepare to enjoy yourself, and let the pampering begin,we hope you are looking forward to a glass of bubbly and a little sweet indulgence from Cakes by Judy C. Make sure you have planned a special night out with your gorgeous man or your BFF’s.
BTW check out our beautiful Powder Room touch up products at your trial, touching up is an essential part of the night. Below is one of our latest shoots with Brisbane Headshots, and we love Peita’s look. Powder Room Lips with Love lipstick “Two Hearts” and gloss “Pink Champagne”. Check out our Powder Room store!

One of our most recent gorgeous Powder Room Brides:
Teresa and Ryan were married on the 29th May. Teresa and her bridal party were absolutely gorgeous girls and were pampered by our super Wedding hair and make up stylist, Jody on the day.
The look was very glamorous and romantic with the hair in soft curls and flawless makeup in warm natural tones, with lashings of lashes of course! Teresa’s gorgeous hair clip was handmade by Lila Designs
We wish Teresa and Ryan a lifetime of happiness together

We would like to send you and The Powder Room a very warm thank you for providing myself and the girls with stunning hair and makeup on our Wedding day. We were so happy with your wonderful and friendly service. Thank you for making the morning so relaxed and memorable and for being part of our special day!
Just wanted to share with you all a sneak peak at one of our new collection’s images photographed last week.
We all love a red head, Katie’s hair is naturally curly and is loosely pinned framing the face with soft curls. The updo, flows softly to one side, but still looks symmetrical with the centre part.
Wedding make up was inspired by Katie’s beautiful porcelain skin, soft apricots and golds and shimmery cheeks, perfect for a Spring Wedding. Lips lacquered with Powder Room’s “Lips with Love” Only Youlipstick and Last Flirtgloss.
Katie looked so beautiful in a dress by “Paddington Weddings” . Photography: 4005 Photography, lots of our brides come and have “Get Gorgeous Shoots” prior to their Wedding, as a pressie for their hubbie to be, incorporate hair and make up and a shoot as that perfect Pre Wedding present!
Choosing 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!

Hi Girls from the Powder Room,
Just wanted to send through some pics from our wedding on 9th April this year. Bridgitte and Kate came along to style us for the day and were very professional, making us all feel comfortable, even my 83 year old grandmother!
I was so happy with my hair and make up and couldn’t have asked for anything better. I received so many positive comments which was great with people wanting to know who had done my hair and make-up.
Thank you for making me feel so beautiful on my special day.
Elizabeth Owens was married on the 1st May, and looked so gorgeous! Elizabeth was inspired by Portia De Rossi’s Wedding hair.
We created a modern, soft and romantic updo to compliment her stunning Vera Wang gown. Fresh radiant glowing flawless skin and lots of lashes are the key to this look. Lip colour our very own favourite “Miss Amour”. Photography by Ben Clark.
Last Tuesday night was a lovely night, with lots of “Brisbane Brides to be” at our Wedding event.

The evening started with our brides arriving to be greeted with a goodie bag, glass or champagne and a cupcake from “Judy C” Cakes, we even had gluten free cakes! The studio smelled amazing with Glenda’s Pradella’s gorgeous flowers!
Lots of helpful hints in planning your big day were shared, did you know at Emporium hotel that they even have a pillow menu, Darren helps you plan your day for all Weddings at Emporium……what about that when choosing your dress don’t choose shoes with too much bling as they catch on the inside of your dress, thanks Ann and Gill from Paddington Weddings, such gorgeous dresses!
