Certification vs. Licensing in the Beauty Industry
Same industry. Two paths. One decision that changes everything.
In beauty, you’re either certified, licensed—and, if you train at L Makeup Institute, career-ready.
Makeup Artist Certification isn’t required by law, but in a competitive, freelance-driven world, it’s your proof that you know your craft and can bring any look to life—on camera, on set, or on demand. And let’s be honest—not all certifications are the same. Where you train, and how well you’re trained, matters.
Esthetician Licensing is required. But passing the exam is just the bare minimum. What really matters is how prepared you are to perform real treatments on real clients, in real-world settings.
Whether you pursue becoming a certified makeup artist, an esthetician license, or both, LMI goes beyond the basics—delivering the training, technique, and confidence you need to succeed in today’s beauty and special effects industries.

The L Makeup Institute is an excellent program. I was given the tools and education to move forward in my career with conference and knowledge. The facility id clean and well maintained. The store has a wide range of products available for purchase at any time. Teachers are highly skillful, willing to help and guide students to the best of their ability. I urge anyone interested to strongly consider this incredible school.
I was able to discover new skills and abilities I never knew I had. I was able to harness a new found confidence and passion within me because of my experience. I found everything to be of the highest level of professionalism and comment the Institute, its instructors and staff, as well as ownership for creativity such an amazing and exciting environment to learn.
We scheduled a tour for our prospective student and once there we were immediately greeted and then given a tour of the facility, watched certain aspects of students in the learning and practice environment and was also given many takeaways including handouts and FAQ’s for our student. LMI very much appreciated our interest and we did as well.
This school is so welcoming and the people are so comforting and willing to help you through the entire process to their full capacity. Wonderful place and great people!
