ABOUT THE ARTIST
Andrea Pignato-Fichera is a Professional Makeup Artist and Licensed Esthetician based in Staten Island, New York, with over a decade of experience making people look and feel their most beautiful.
Her passion for beauty started early, inspired by the flawless artistry she saw on red carpets and in magazines. That fascination became a career when she enrolled at Robert Fiance Makeup Academy in 2012, earning her certification as a makeup artist. She began her career at a photography studio working with clients of all ages, skin types, and complexions, building a strong technical foundation from day one.
In 2014, Andrea joined House of Trends salon, where she spent eight years specializing in bridal, prom, special occasion, and camera-ready makeup. Those years sharpened her skills, deepened her expertise, and earned her a loyal following of clients who trusted her to deliver flawless results for life’s most important moments.
In 2022, Andrea opened Beauty By Andrea Inc., her own private makeup studio in Staten Island. She continues to invest in her craft through workshops, masterclasses, and seminars, staying at the forefront of beauty trends and techniques.
Her approach is simple: every client deserves to feel like the most radiant, confident version of themselves. Whether you are preparing for your wedding day, a special celebration, or simply want to feel beautiful, Andrea brings expertise, warmth, and genuine care to every single appointment.
In 2015, she became a certified makeup instructor at Robert Fiance Makeup Academy, teaching and certifying the next generation of artists. Teaching deepened her own craft, reinforcing the techniques and attention to detail that define her work today.
As her passion for beauty grew, so did her interest in skincare. In 2018 Andrea returned to Robert Fiance Beauty School to earn her esthetician license, adding professional skincare expertise to her artistry. Understanding the skin beneath the makeup allows her to create looks that not only look stunning but wear beautifully all day.
