Road Tripping and Beauty Blasting with D.I.Y. Diva

Heyyyyy! Welcome back to my LATEST installment in my D.I.Y. Diva episode as YOUR Fashion Cruze-arati! If you are new to my blog, or haven’t caught up with this Cruze-arati thing, in January, Chevy launched a new social media campaign for their latest car- The Chevy Cruze!

They have chosen ME as their Fashion Cruze-arati, traveling across the country to share with you the most UNEXPECTED in Fashion! This week’s adventure takes me 400 miles north to San Francisco! In a special two part video, I get to share with you MY once secret vice- MAKEUP!

After such a long trip (6 hours!), a girl needed to freshen her look up and helping me with this were the lovely people at Pigment Cosmetics and Blush School of Makeup- San Francisco’s oldest and only beauty and makeup school!

While here, I met with the ever so talented and Director of Education- Catherine Kalessis! She showed me how we can go from day to night in just a few brush strokes! Being such a closeted beauty junkie, I have been elated in sharing my needs for my beauty fixes with you and Pigment Cosmetics has helped right along the way!

Check out part one- The Day Look:

One of my favorite makeup tips is the APPLICATION of the foundation!  Not shown in the video here, but rather than using your fingers or a foundation brush, Catherine advised that I use a BLUSH BRUSH! YES!!! Using a blush brush in a circular motion uses LESS product AND gives an airbrushed finish!

WOOT! I love this tip!!!!

Part Two- The Night Look:

Which look is more YOUR look? How long do you take to get ready for your day?

This is the FIRST STOP amongst a few while I was in San Francisco! You definitely must STAY TUNED for more of my adventures while in SF as your Fashion Cruze-arati! Here is a hint: We feature one of SF’s own, who caters to the woman’s curve!
