I love this little segment so I just may keep it going! Do you have a favorite product that your wondering about? Let me know, maybe I can try test it and tell you how and when to use it!

I love using these loose pigments to get a dreamy look! They come in all brands and again I STRESS, use a good eye lid primer, and you will not have any problems with what ever brand you choose. You can use mat loose pigments for day, or photography and shimmers for evening and events. I happen to have both shimmer and mat blends, and use them interchangeably. You can see below the bit of shimmer on her lid corner. In this photo I did use a MAC loose pigment in Tan color.  Its is important, however, to make sure to keep it on the lid of the eye and not on the brow bone, if pictures are going to be taken. It will give to much "kick back" into the camera if taken up too high on the brow bone. Little TIP! If you just lightly dampen your brush it will stick better onto your brush and get a better cleaner effect on your lid. I love doing it that way! Tip: spread it like butter onto the eye lid, then take a bit lighter pigment -like a vanilla and place that right in the center of the lid for a light effect!

From Thursday to Saturday night the FUN just kept coming! I should just back up a bit. On Wednesday night I received a very distressed email that almost made me cry on the spot. A beautiful bride getting married in 3 days (that's this past Saturday) emailed me with a troubling emergency about her wonderful MOB (mother) ((of the bride)) Her mother, in a frenzy house cleaning effort (since the family was arriving by plane very soon-you know how that is) was taking out the trash when she fell, hitting her face on the fender of a nearby parked motorcycle in the garage. Her face was bruised and swollen and... of course her heart was broken about the fact her family, friends and all her preparations to be the most wonderful mother in the world to her daughter, were smashed in fall along with her face. The bride, in a last minute effort to find something MAGIC to help her mothers appearance and make her happy again, emailed me at midnight on Wednesday... SINCE I am now writing an article for Richmond Weddings magazine about this tragic event, and cant share more right this second, but needless to say....she found a FBJ Fairy Godmother.....-Share more soon!

To move on the other great part of my weekend....Makeup and hair for beautiful Bride Tracy......who had a stunning outdoor ceremony Friday evening! On Saturday a trip to Ashland Berry farm and costume shopping kept the fun afloat. Thus Saturday night, exhusted and happy, I put my feet up to watch a little movie with a bit of popcorn!
