750 Hours / 22 weeks (C.I.P Code 12.0409)

For over 15 years, L Makeup Institute has set the standard in makeup artistry and special effects education—known for experienced instructors, low student-to-teacher ratios, and a hands-on curriculum focused on real-world application. Now, we’re bringing that same philosophy and excellence to esthetics.

Our new Esthetics Program is a natural extension of our beauty makeup training, where skin health and preparation are key to flawless application. Built on our proven VAK Approach—Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic learning—students receive immersive, hands-on training that goes far beyond the basics. The comprehensive curriculum includes advanced techniques and industry certifications that give our graduates a competitive edge.

While esthetics compliments our beauty makeup program, our Special Effects Makeup Program continues to stand apart as a comprehensive journey through all styles of makeup artistry—beauty, on-set hairstyling, airbrush, body painting, character, and prosthetics. Together, these offerings reflect our commitment to providing in-depth, professional training across the full spectrum of the makeup and beauty industries.

Our classrooms and labs are purposefully designed and fully equipped to support what we teach—whether it’s makeup, special effects, or skincare—creating an immersive environment where students can confidently master both theory and technique. With a strong emphasis on practical learning and real-world preparation, L Makeup Institute graduates are ready to stand out in today’s competitive beauty industry. The Esthetics Program is pending accreditation and financial aid approval.
