Opening in Las Vegas in 2010, L Makeup Institute was the first of its kind in Las Vegas to offer an in-depth curriculum for those pursuing careers as professional makeup artists in makeup artistry and special effects industries. Many dream of becoming professional makeup artists; with locations in both Las Vegas, Nevada, and Dallas Fort Worth, Texas, L Makeup Institute fulfills that need by preparing our graduates to work in bridal, entertainment, salon, fashion, movies, theatrical, production and retail cosmetics industries.
As a direct result of founder Lissette Waugh’s determined efforts, makeup artistry is recognized as a stand-alone industry in Nevada. This means our students can study makeup artistry and SFX makeup exclusively and work professionally without completing unrelated cosmetology courses or licensing requirements.
Preparing the next generation of MUA’s since 2010.

Curriculum
Our curriculum is at the heart of our student’s success.
Developed by our Founder, professional makeup artist Lissette Waugh, the L Makeup Institute proprietary curriculum is recognized as meeting professional industry standards by employers, industry professionals, our Program Advisory Committee, and Accreditation Agency. At LMI, we believe to prepare for a career as a professional makeup artist or FX artist requires daily, in-person, hands-on instruction with the personal guidance of qualified instructors. To better connect with all types of learners, the curriculum is delivered through the VAK (Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic) method and includes daily, live instructor demos, AV aids, and PPT presentations. There is a heavy emphasis on lab work and practical exercises, and students start working with products on day one.
Guest Artists visit the Las Vegas campus offering professional tips, tricks, and expertise.
“Amazing daily demos and hands-on interaction. I love it!” – Michelle F
