Erin’s Wedding was in September last year at Castaway’s Beach at the Sunshine Coast and our talented Prue and Paula look after Erin for her Wedding day hair and make up.  The grils had so much fun spoiling the girls in the most picturesque location overlooking the beach.  The house was located on a private property and the girls the day with a relaxing stroll oolong the beach.  The Bridesmaids decorated the Wedding night room with a trail of chocolates and flowers to set the mood.  Erin was then of to spend their honeymoon in Europe.

The Wedding was coordinated by Victoria at The Little White Wedding Company. Amazing photography was by Feather and Stone.

Erin’s look for Makeup was airbrushed to ensure that the makeup last all day and night!  All of the girls had Airstocking applied to their décolletage areas for a more flawless skin finish…

The girls all had a super smokey feel with full bar lashes for extra drama!!…The girls were also bronzed to look sunkissed.

Erin’s hair really worked well for a beach Wedding, soft low and romantic…it looked effortlessly classic.

The Bridesmaids hairstyles were similar except softly to one side and incorporating a soft braid.

A question we get asked a lot is….

What is Airbrush Foundation?

Airbrush foundation is a water-based, oil-free and long wearing makeup that is applied through an airbrush, using a small air compressor. It is usually used for high definition film.

As it is applied, it feels like a mist hitting your face and dries into a smooth, flawless finish that feels very light on the skin. It is long wearing, non-transferable, and ideal for high heat,  humidity, weddings and dancing all night!

It is especially good for people with oilier skin, or blemished skin as it tends to stay put longer.

What is the difference between Airbrush and Traditional Foundation?

With a combination of the techniques used by our makeup artist,  long wearing foundations, primers, and setting sprays – the same long wearing effect can be achieved with traditional makeup.

If you prefer a very “dewy” look, traditional makeup may be the way to go. Airbrush foundation is a slightly more matte look.

As with any makeup medium, we can control the coverage from sheer to full coverage with both airbrush or traditional foundations.

Ultimately, it is what you feel most comfortable with and the type of finish you would like.

Hi Girls,


We were watching the X Factor Grand final last night and just had to put a blog up about Natalie Bassingthwaighte and Mel B’s hairstyles!


We just looooved Nat’s soft vintage style side knotted bun especially with the bold red lip, she looked like she just stepped out of the pages of Vogue magazine! What a gorgeous idea for a wedding day hairstyle!!


And Mel B’s hair is always fab but the smoothness and simplicity of her high set chignon last night was so perfectly coiffured and allowed her gorgeous accessories  to do the talking. A great idea if your looking for something on trend for your big day or would be perfect as a bridesmaids hairstyle!


What do you think girls, did they get it right last night with the hair and makeup styling?


Looking forward to seeing what they come up with for the decider tonight

Jasmine was pampered by The Powder Room girls on 16th September and we think she couldn’t have looked more beautiful!

We absolutely loooove the bridesmaids dresses with the cute ruffles and adore the colour too.

Many thanks to Ben Clarke for the beautiful photos

We just love receiving beautiful thank you letters from our gorgeous brides, it gives us such a buzz to know that we helped in making their day absolutely perfect!

Emma was married on 25th June and had the fabulous Megan and Jacqueline pampering her and her girls on the day, how gorgeous do they all look!

Hello Powder Room.

I had my wedding hair and make-up done on the 25th June this year by Megan and Jac at the Emporium.

I have to say that they were absolutely amazing.  They knew exactly what I was after and I couldn’t have wished for a more perfect job.  The girls and my mum all looked fab and I think I end up pretty lovely myself.  Haha.  

I have attached some pictures from the photographer to showcase the wonderful work they did. 

Kind Regads and a big thank-you for making my day so pretty.

Allison was married on the 26th March this year and we were so excited to receive these beautiful Photo’s of the amazing Wedding day hair styles that kayla created for the girls.

Alison’s Bun hairstyle is such a statement hairstyle and lasts all day. It is also the type of hairstyle that you can wear your veil either above or below and adding in hair jewels or flowers is so easy. Bun styles can be made messier but still keeping the structure of the look. Braids and waves can also be incorporated into the look as well.

The Bun hairstyle can be created using a hair padding, to help create the shape. If your hair isn’t long enough you can also add in a hairpiece…shhhhh don’t tell anyone, it’s our secret.

It is rumoured that the larger-than-life Kim Kardashian is having not one but TWO perfect wedding dresses designed by the amazing Vera Wang. She has met with the designer in New York and again in LA. Vera Wang was also the designer for Kim’s sister Khloe’s dress for her wedding to Lamar Odom in 2009 so they are already well known to each other. Khloe has said of the designer working with her sister – ‘I love her, and I feel like when you think of weddings, you think of Vera Wang. I think it would be a perfect fit”, according to the Daily Mail.

Below are a few images that are predictions for Kim’s wedding day dress(es!)

While Kim is sweating it out in the gym with her TWO personals trainers to fit into her TWO gorgeous dresses, let’s take a moment to imagine what hair and makeup look she may choose for her big day.

Kim is famous for her smoky eyes. luscious long lashes and signature nude lips. She is also a big fan of the NARS blush in the amazing peachy-pink colour “Orgasm”.

Here are a couple of gorgeous hair and makeup styles which we predict may be her chosen wedding day look:-

Glowing, nude bridal makeup with a soft smokey eye, understated yet elegant and classic-

Or will she choose a more 1950s pinup girl style makeup with bold lips and more natural eyes like below? She has mentioned her bridal look will have a 50s twist so our bets are on a look like this

For her wedding day hair will she choose an elegant upstyle like below…?

Or a glamourous retro downstyle..??

Only time will tell but us girls at the Powder Room are eagerly awaiting the first images of the blushing bride as she walks down the aisle any day now!

Just wanted to share with you a few quick snaps we took from our Annual Bridal Hair and Makeup Collection last week. Stay posted for the whole collection soon!!

The beautiful Maddie was our 50′s vintage inspired bride with her hair swept up into a whimsical upstyle, soft and glamorous oozing grace and style.

Maddie’s makeup is soft and sexy with flawless porcelain skin enhanced with airbrushing foundation and a soft smokey eye using shades of indigo and violet. Of course lots of luscious lashes and a perfect pout using Powder Rooms lipstick “Smooch” and lipgloss “Glam Fairy”.

Maddie’s second look was Hollywood Glam! A look that is sure to blow your man away on the day. Hair has the “Wow” factor incorporating braids, texture and volume to create this masterpiece.

Makeup is super sultry using matte shadows in shades of taupe, charcoal and black. Super long and sexy lashes are paired with a barely-there, nude lip using Powder Rooms “Aisle Be Yours” lipstick and “Pink Champagne” lipgloss.

Stay posted for the whole collection soon!!
