L Makeup Institute Featured on Yahoo Finance

L Makeup Institute was recently featured on Yahoo Finance, dubbed “The Harvard of Makeup Artistry.” The article describes how L Makeup Institute (LMI) has become a well-known and prestigious institution for makeup artistry and special effects. Students are relocating to Las Vegas and Dallas Fort Worth from around the world to learn and hone their makeup artistry skills. 

The article explains how LMI stands apart from other makeup schools and cosmetology schools. LMI offers a specialized curriculum that aspiring makeup artists can’t find at cosmetology schools. When people recognize that, they are willing to travel across the world for the opportunity to learn from the best. 

The Yahoo Finance article also notes that L Makeup Institute stands apart due to its commitment to the students. LMI shows dedication and care for students from the moment they set foot on campus. They have a robust curriculum, an emphasis on job placement upon graduation, and even a services program for graduated students. Yahoo notes that “L Makeup Institute opens doors for graduates, leading to exciting opportunities in some of the biggest industries in the world, including fashion, film, and television.” 

Yahoo even shares a letter from a recent LMI graduate, Cade. Part of the letter reads: 

“I came to Vegas as an excited kid on his own for the first time. I’m graduating as a true makeup artist thanks to this special place that embraced me from day one. I never felt lonely because of this place. Because of these great people. – Cade P.”

LMI’s Founder Lisette Waugh notes, “At the end of the day, it’s really about the people’s lives we’ve changed and what they are doing now. They are living their dream and doing what they love.”
