*~*Makeup With A Passion*~*

Volti Is my makeup "alter ego". Honoring my Italian heritage, it translates to face. After practicing on family, friends, and myself of course, my passion for makeup grew at an enormous rate. After doing my research, taking advice, and perfecting my craft, I decided to jump head first into the makeup industry as a professional!! Follow my blog for written and video tutorials, product reviews, fellow artist spotlights, giveaways/contests and much much more!!

When my niece @__mslovelylady asked for a birthday makeover, I had to give her Grammy red carpet worthy!! Smokey cut crease with gun metal glitter and a peachy nude with a gold shimmer gloss. #ardelllashes #anastasiabeverlyhills #beauty #beforeandafter #dressyourface #eotd #eyebrows #eyemakeup #face #flawless #glamour #ilovemakeup #industrypro #instamakeup #kilprity #kate_mc_makeup #mac #mua #makeup #makeupmobb #makeupdolls #makeupartist #urbandecay #vegas_nay #wakeupandmakeup #themakeupcollection

Working early this morning!! @henleywilson (who happens to be my cousin 😊) wanted a beat for her family portraits this morning. So I decided to do a simple eye with slight glam and a tiny pop of color on her lips. I covered her dark circles with orange concealer and evened out her skin tone with MAC Studio Fix Fluid foundation. Eyes are all MAC shadows, lashes are Demi Wispies, lips are lined with Currant liner (which is purple) with Tropic Toner lipstick over it (which is orange). The combo gave us this really pretty pinkish color. #anastasiabeverlyhills #beauty #dressyourface #eotd #eyebrows #eyemakeup #face #flawless #fotd #glamour #hellofritzie #ilovemakeup #industrypro #instamakeup #kilprity #kate_mc_makeup #mac #mua #makeup #makeupmobb #makeupdolls #makeupmafia #maccosmetics #makeupartist #vegas_nay #wakeupandmakeup #beforeandafter

CLIENT SELFIE!!! Well, not really a client. It's my sister who came down to visit last week 😁😁😁 For somebody who is SUPER AFRAID of color, I told her to trust me and she LOVED the final result. So much so that she was taking selfies for at least 20 minutes. Breakdown of things to look for: Cheekbones are POPPING!! Courtesy of LA Girl cosmetics concealer. Highlight looks Hollywood!! Thanks to LA Girl cosmetics concealer and MAC mineralized skin finish in Perfect Topping Lips are lined with Cork, lipstick is Velvet Teddy, and I dabbed a little Viva Glam II gloss in the middle Eyes: the blue is Aquadisiac by MAC set over MUFE blue from the flash color palette. The smokey colors came from the Naked 2 palette. Brows by @anastasiabeverlyhills using the Dipbrow in Chocolate and Brow Powder in Medium Brown. Foundation is MAC Studio Fix Fluid.

I swear I'm not good at this selfie thing!! Yall know the exact pose, angle, face, lighting. I'm just over here like "How silly can I be?" Anyway....date night with my hubby 💖💖💖 Simple eye with a bold lip 😉 And the sock bun has become my fave hairstyle thanks to the humidity AND my hairstylist being on vacation 😒

25 pounds down...I want to lose another 16. Finally don't have a "X" in my size!!! No waist trainer, no sucking in, no photoshop!!

[voltimua]

Date night with my hubby!! I haven't done my makeup in so long I forgot how good it feels!! 😏😏😏 Forgive the hair though. This VA humidity will be the death of it!! I'll post an outfit pic later because this 25 pound weight loss got me feeling like I should have been in the video with Beyonce and Nicki Minaj 😁😁😁

This weekend I'll be featuring/giving shout outs to pages that I follow/admire. You may be following them, you may not be. They may be makeup artist, they may not be. AND I'll be including my favorite past looks, myself and my clients. So GET READY!! 😁😁😁😁

Silly me! I should have posted my bride first! This was my fabulous bride from yesterday. She had no idea what she wanted so I decided to do a bridal smokey (very slight "smoke") with a nude lip. Once she looked in the mirror, she said she was ready to get dressed to complete the fabulous!! #beauty #bride #bridal #bridalmakeup #eotd #eyes #eyemakeup #eyebrows #face #fotd #flawless #glamour #industrypro #instabeauty #instamakeup #mua #makeup #makeupmobb #makeupdolls #makeupmafia #makeupartist #themakeupcollection #vegas_nay #wakeupandmakeup

Let me start posting pics from the wedding I did yesterday before the BET Awards madness. Here's the Mother Of The Groom from yesterday. She said she just wanted to look polished. After we were done, she started crying. She said she's never felt more beautiful. And THAT'S why I do what I do!! #anastasiabeverlyhills #BeforeAndAfter #beauty #eotd #eyebrows #eyemakeup #face #fotd #flawless #industrypro #instabeauty #instamakeup #mua #makeup #makeupmafia #makeupmobb #makeupartist #themakeupcollection #vegas_nay #wakeupandmakeup

Wedding Party of 9 today!! Busy busy busy but I love what I do 😊😊😊

[voltimua]

Some of my favorite personal beats!! I'll be posting one tomorrow because my hair isn't even this color anymore 😏😏😏 I've noticed how much of a fan I am of a smokey eye and nudish lip 😉😉 Always rocking @anastasiabeverlyhills brow products (normally the Dipbrow in Chocolate, and the Brow Whiz in Medium Brown). Fluttering my @ardell_lashes which are typically the Demi Wispies. Foundation is either MAC's Studio Fix Fluid or MakeUp ForEver's HD Foundation (or a mixture of both). Don't remember each lip or what shadows I used in each one. But the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette is a favorite of mine!! #ardelllashes #anastasiabeverlyhills #beauty #dressyourface #eotd #eyebrows #eyemakeup #face #flawless #fotd #glamour #hellofritzie #ilovemakeup #industrypro #instamakeup #kilprity #kate_mc_makeup #mac #mua #makeup #myface #makeupmobb #makeupdolls #makeupmafia #maccosmetics #makeupartist #vegas_nay #wakeupandmakeup

Last minute makeover this afternoon! Her request: "I don't want anything dramatic but I want to look very nice." So this was the look I gave her. And as you can she she loved it!! I used MAC foundation and concealer. @anastasiabeverlyhills DipBrow and Brow Whiz for her brows. MAC shadows in Cork, Espresso, and Expensive Pink. Ardell Lashes in 109. MAC lipsticks in Velvet Teddy and Fabby overtop a brown lip liner. HAIR DONE BY @lassha_sibadie at Merengue Hair Studio. #ardelllashes #anastasiabeverlyhills #beauty #BeforeAndAfter #dressyourface #eotd #eyes #eyebrows #eyemakeup #face #fotd #flawless #glamour #hellofritzie #ilovemakeup #industrypro #instabeauty #kilprity #kate_mc_makeup #mac #mua #makeup #makeupmobb #makeupdolls #makeupmafia #maccosmetics #makeupartist #queenofblending #rennyvasquez #vegas_nay #wakeupandmakeup

JUST BECAUSE I'M NOT POSTING, DOESN'T MEAN I'M NOT WORKING!!! I have a slew of pics from the past 2 months that I haven't posted. So I decided to flood your timelines 😁😁😁 This was my first prom client of the season. She had a white and nude dress so we made her look all about the makeup. A golden pink smokey eye with a mauve pink lip. She loved it so much I caught a closed eye smile!! #ardelllashes #anastasiabeverlyhills #BeforeAndAfter #beauty #dressyourface #eotd #eyes #eyebrows #eyemakeup #face #fotd #flawless #glamour #hellofritzie #ilovemakeup #industrypro #instabeauty #kilprity #kate_mc_makeup #mac #mua #makeup #makeupmobb #makeupdolls #makeupmafia #maccosmetics #makeupartist #queenofblending #themakeupcollection #vegas_nay #wakeupandmakeup

So I decided to flood your timelines 😁😁😁 This was my second prom client of the season. Her dress had sequins all over so I wanted to do a little glam with a slight pop of blue under her eyes with a simple lip. She loved it so much I got a super smile for the after picture! #ardelllashes #beauty #BeforeAndAfter #dressyourface #eotd #eyes #eyebrows #eyemakeup #face #fotd #flawless #glamour #hellofritzie #ilovemakeup #industrypro #instabeauty #kilprity #kate_mc_makeup #mac #mua #makeup #makeupmobb #makeupdolls #maccosmetics #maccosmetics #makeupartist #queenofblending #themakeupcollection #vegas_nay #wakeupandmakeup

So I decided to flood your timelines 😁😁😁 Here's a client who was heading to her dad's surprise birthday party. I did makeup for her, her mom, and her sister (which I'll post later). Went with a green smokey cut crease and an ombré red lip. She LOVED the look and couldn't stay out of the mirror! #ardelllashes #anastasiabeverlyhills #beauty #dressyourface #eotd #eyes #eyebrows #eyemakeup #face #flawless #fotd #glamour #hellofritzie #ilovemakeup #industrypro #instabeauty #kilprity #kate_mc_makeup #mac #mua #makeup #makeupmobb #makeupdolls #makeupmafia #maccosmetics #makeupartist #queenofblending #themakeupcollection #vegas_nay #wakeupandmakeup

How the Swarovski crystals glisten in the light. Even though there's a small amount, you still get the blinged out factor. Can't wait for me and my princess to wear our sneakers!! To see her custom Vans, check a few posts back. #Swarovski #custom #vans

[voltimua]

My baby girl's Vans vs my Vans. I went for something a little less dramatic but still blinged out. Nevertheless, we'll be matching 😉 Can't wait to show yall our shirts 🙊 I'll post a video of how the shoes glisten later. PROM GIRLS TODAY so I'll be super busy doing makeup. #Swarovski #custom #vans #DIY
