Armando began his career as a make-up artist in Beverly Hills, California at the Century City and Beverly Hills Hotel salons. In 1969, Armando was offered the opportunity to bring his expertise to Las Vegas and open the make-up and facial department in the salon of the International Hotel (now the Las Vegas Hilton) where he worked on the singers of the Elvis Presley Show. He has worked his magic on stars including Priscilla Presley, singer/actress Diahann Carroll, country western singer Donna Fargo and actress Raquel Welch.

After establishing his reputation on "The Strip" and performing his miracles on celebrities, Armando came to love Las Vegas and opened his own salon where he developed his renowned reputation. For over twenty-five years, he served local patrons and performed make-over shows at conventions and local clubs.

In 1999, Armando closed the doors of his salon. He felt that he could reach more people with his ideas and information through the endless boundaries of the Internet. With the launch of the Make-up by Armando website, he has been able to help many people look their best through his techniques, philosophy and his professional line of cosmetics and skin care that he personally developed in 1969.
