The Original. So Many Firsts.

Founded in 2010, L Makeup Institute is the first of its kind in Las Vegas to offer an in-depth curriculum developed specifically for the makeup artist and special effects artist. L Makeup Institute is the first and remains the only Accredited Makeup Artist School offering programs in beauty makeup, body painting, airbrush makeup, hair styling for the makeup artist and special effects makeup. And, as a direct result of founder Lissette Waugh’s tenacious efforts, makeup artistry is now recognized as a stand-alone industry in Nevada. This means that our students can study makeup artistry and special effects makeup exclusively and our graduates can work professionally, without having to complete separate cosmetology licensing requirements. Where true artists are born.
