Quick Facts About Anastasia Andreani
Education
From humble beginnings in Chicago, Anastasia built something genuinely her own. With the help of a small team who shared her standards, Vizio Makeup Academy was born — a place where aspiring makeup artists anywhere in the world could learn real technique and sharpen their craft.
She studied esthetics at Pivot Point in Chicago and later earned her professional esthetician license. From that foundation she added a Bachelor of Business Administration — the degree that's quietly shaped how she builds curriculum, leads a team, and runs the academy day to day. Over two decades in the field she's never stopped adding to it, with continued training in makeup artistry, esthetics, medical aesthetics, and workplace safety.
She's also a Certified Laser Safety Officer, a credential that anchors her work in laser-safety education — hazard awareness, protective eyewear, treatment-room procedures, and the responsible practices that matter in any serious aesthetics setting.
Her Path in Beauty
Anastasia started in beauty about two decades ago by taking a leap most people talk themselves out of: she went freelance, doing makeup for weddings and special occasions. From there it grew. By 2014 she had founded Vizio Makeup Academy to put everything she'd learned into one place — a full curriculum that runs from the fundamentals all the way through special-effects work.
What students respond to is her teaching. She has a way of pulling out the version of someone's work they didn't know they had in them, and that's the part she's proudest of.
Current Leadership & Education Work
In 2026 Anastasia is still expanding into online beauty, skincare, and medical-aesthetics education. Beyond Vizio, she helps develop programs built specifically for working beauty and aesthetics professionals.
She plays an active role with ASFA Facial Academy, an online platform covering professional skincare, facial treatments, client care, and modern technique. And as President & Director of Education at AML Laser Academy, she helps guide course development, educational quality, and the student experience — working alongside the academy's medical director and physician reviewers to keep cosmetic-laser education accurate and genuinely useful. Her piece of that work centers on safety: protective eyewear, treatment-room procedures, client screening, infection prevention, and responsible practice.
The through-line across all of it is range. Her background in makeup, skincare, business, and laser safety lets her support students heading into a wide span of modern beauty careers — not just one lane.
Vizio Makeup Academy
Vizio Makeup Academy’s reputation comes from one stubborn commitment: don’t ship instruction that isn’t excellent. The academy works alongside California charter schools and other beauty-industry professionals so students get an education that holds up in the real world. Under Anastasia's direction it's grown into one of the more respected names in online beauty training, with a team of instructors focused on the actual tools, information, and skills the job demands.
The Professional Makeup Kit
Good work needs good tools, and Anastasia has helped design professional-grade products built specifically for Vizio students and graduates. The centerpiece is the PRO MAKEUP LAB™ — a refillable, magnetic system with a modular format that lets artists swap or rearrange individual pans using a silicone-tipped Magnetic Color Tool, which cuts down on the product waste that piles up with traditional palettes. Paired with the academy's 24-piece brush set, it's made for the real range of the job: bridal, editorial, commercial, high-definition photography, and client work — the bridge from practicing at home to delivering a polished, professional look.
Life & Family
She's an example of what's possible when someone actually chases the thing they care about. She built Vizio alongside her husband and partner, Alfredo Andreani, and the two of them have raised their son, Alan, with strong values and an early feel for entrepreneurship.
When she's not dreaming up the next idea for the academy, she's usually somewhere new — the family loves to travel, and they're the kind who plan a trip around the museums. Galleries, a bit of history, different cultures: it's how they unwind and, by her telling, how they stay close.
