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
Kim kardashian’s Wedding was truly an extravangaza, and her hair and make up was every part as gorgeous as what we imagined…..she looked very polished, elegant and exotic….creating the perfect princess.
The intricate chignon was created by hairdresser Peter Savis, can you believe it though girls that Kim didn’t have any pre Wedding trials. To create the look Kim’s hair would have been set first on big rollers, brushed through and then worked with a synergy of a light hairspray (so you can build it up) and a pomade. Check out the latest Powder Room Wedding day upstyles gallery!
A hair padding would have been used for the chignon at the back to create the shape.
I loved the change of dress and hairstyle….she also wore her hair in big Hollywood curls cascading down the right side of her face with a diamond clip pinning back the other side. In total Kim donned 10 million worth of diamonds for the glamorous event ! Just look at those shoes!!!
Kim’s makeup, artist Mario Dedivanovic explains in his own words how he created Kim’s perfect princess look on the day.
“She wanted to look like the most polished and beautiful version of herself,” he says. Preparation was with moisturiser by La Mer and By Terry Touche Veloutee concealer under her eyes, giving her a fresh-faced look. Ensuring things stayed put during the long day, Dedivanovic set her makeup with Chanel Poudre Universelle Libre Natural Finish loose powder.
When it came to highlighting Kardashian’s stunning features — especially the eyes — “I used Lancôme 5 Pan Eyeshadow Palette in Golden Frenzy,” he explains. “I swept the golden shade all over lid, the darkest shade along her crease and the lightest shade I used on the brow bone to highlight. I swept the golden colors along Kim’s lower lash line for a super-soft smoky look.” And to give her lashes beautiful length and volume, “I applied two coats of Lancôme Hypnôse Doll Lashes mascara in So Black,” he explains.
To warm Kardashian’s skin and contour her cheeks, Dedivanovic relied on Guerlain Teracotta bronzing powder. “I brushed a bit all along the hairline and along the jaw line,” he says. “To chisel her cheeks, I swept it along the hollows of her cheeks.” Finishing off the look, he defined Kardashian’s voluminous lips using YSL Dessin des Levres lip liner in Nude Beige and Lancôme’s L’Absolu Nu lipstick in Coral Sand (a sheer peachy hue), adding a final touch of shine with Lancôme La Laque Fever lip gloss in Ravishing Coral.
But his job wasn’t done yet. The secret to her stunning shine-free skin throughout the day and night? “Tatcha Blotting Papers,” Dedivanovic reveals. And since Kardashian changed gowns throughout the evening, Dedivanovic had to keep his work classic. “The look had to work with any dress she chose,” he shares, “so we kept the makeup consistent through out the whole day and into the evening.”

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!
What a fabulous night we had at The Emporium Hotel for our Powder Room Bridal Showcase!

Hello Girls at the Powder Room,
I just wanted to send a quick email thanking you for your help with my wedding on the 10th December 2011. It was the most perfect day (despite the rain). We had Bernie come out to do our makeup. She did an amazing job and we were all incredibly happy with our makeup! So a HUGE thankyou to Bernie - our wedding would not have been the same without her there to beautify us all!
A hair padding would have been used for the chignon at the back to create the shape.
