Ep. 157: How Celebrity Makeup Artist, Vittorio Masecchia, Developed A Beauty Brand To Create Elaborate Eye Looks In Seconds
On this episode of the Friends in Beauty podcast I welcome Celebrity Makeup Artist, Vittorio Masecchia, to the Friends in Beauty guest chair. Dexterous, daring, and dedicated to his craft, Vittorio has always set out to become one of the leading makeup artists in the industry. His meticulous eye for design and limitless wealth of knowledge have solidified him as a leading expert and point of reference for clients and the industry at large. A Montreal native, descending from four generations of beauty experts, Vittorio continues a legacy of celebrating the transformative powers of makeup and hair.
Vittorio celebrates 20 years of artistry in the industry with the launch of namesake brand and life-long dream Vittorio Masecchia Beauty.
His multi-decade career has covered film, media, editorial, and brands providing Vittorio with extensive expertise in diverse arenas. Vittorio’s favorite highlights include working with: Gigi Hadid, Paris Hilton and Demi Lovato; working on campaigns for clients such as Bite Beauty, Ilia, Everlane and NYX; and being featured in magazines such as: Vogue, the New York Times and Cosmopolitan. Early in his
career, he was awarded a Contessa award as "Canadian Makeup Artist of the Year”.
Based in Los Angeles, with a fan base that continues to grow, Vittorio Masecchia Beauty features a line of luxury facial decals. Born from a consistent artistic need to work swiftly and to create elaborate eye looks using trending embellishments to complement makeup. After years of requests to create camera-ready, detail-oriented, clean graphic, and bold eye looks, Masecchia dreamed of creating his own collection of quick-application face appliqués that gave the same instant gratification as his love for false lashes and wigs.
His dream finally came to fruition in 2020 when his life-long habit of doodling eyes started jumping off the pages and onto faces. [Although his client roster now consists of the highest-profile models, celebrities, and influencers, he believes that everyone deserves to feel confident and beautiful everyday]. As his following continues to grow, so did the demand to know how he achieves his sculptural and sultry looks on his clients. That led him to bridge his work as a makeup artist and digital creator to create a beauty line.
Vittorio is the real deal! I had such a wonderful time talking to him and found out we had some things in common. In this interview Vittorio shares:
-What is was like coming from a lineage of beauty pros
-The pros and cons of working with celebrities
-How he meticulously developed his line Vittorio Massechia Beauty
-If MUA’s should consider having a product line
-How he keeps himself grounded and in good spirits
-Plus all of the exciting things coming up for his brand
This is definitely an interview you will enjoy because I know I did. Let’s go ahead and jump into this chat with Vittorio and if you prefer to watch us chit chat then tune in on YouTube!
