Makeup Artistry Job Placement
Helping L Makeup Institute alumni future makeup artists find their dream careers is what L Makeup Institute is all about. From the moment you step through our doors to begin your makeup career, our dedicated team is committed to providing you with the tools, resources, and support you need to turn your passion for makeup into a successful makeup artist career.
According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics – in 2023, Makeup artists earn a mean annual salary of $32.97 an hour or $68,590 annually. And, there are no cosmetology licensing requirements in Texas or Nevada, even to work in Salons.
Professional makeup artists specialize in applying makeup and prosthetics. Sounds simple enough, but if you think about it – anything that changes a face or body requires a professionally trained makeup artist. Makeup Artists employ various tools, including cosmetics, specialized paints, airbrush solutions, prosthetics, hair, teeth, wigs, and special effects makeup, to modify an individual’s physical appearance. Oh yeah, opportunities for a successful career as professional makeup are pretty fabulous. Whether for beauty, fashion, retail, media, special events, weddings, film, haunted houses, or theater, all these fields demand the skills of professionally trained makeup artists, distinguishing them from cosmetologists
Makeup Career Job Board
L Makeup Institute offers an online Makeup Career Job Board. As part of job education, students are trained in setting up, updating, and managing their profiles. Upon graduation, graduates can search and apply for jobs through the online job portal, register for career and professional development activities and get their resume, portfolios and cover letters reviewed by a Career Services Representative
Program Advisory Committee
Our industry insights, guest speakers, and Professional Advisory Committee provide invaluable perspectives and insider knowledge, helping you navigate the ever-evolving landscape of the makeup industry with confidence. Consisting of industry professionals and employers, our Program Advisory Committee (P.A.C.) meets twice per year to review L Makeup Institute’s job placement performance, curriculum, and the effectiveness and relevance of our instructional methods to help improve student performance and marketability upon graduation. We also invite industry insiders and employers as guest speakers to share insights on industry trends and expectations when hiring our graduates.

See What Our Employers Have To Say
I'd love to take a quick second to praise your makeup artists from our Annual Tree Lighting. They were some of the most talented and professional artists we have ever worked with!
As someone who hires graduates from the L Makeup Institute, I can confidently say that the professionalism of their students is outstanding. The graduates from this school consistently demonstrate a high level of professionalism in their work, making them a reliable choice for hiring. Their dedication and expertise set them apart and make them a valuable asset in the makeup industry. If you are looking for skilled and professional makeup artists, you can trust the graduates from LMI to deliver a top-notch service.
As a veteran bridal beauty company owner, I'm always searching for new talent to join the team. One of my favorite additions to the team is a L Makeup Institute graduate; she is FANTASTIC! I normally don't offer work to artists with less than 3 years of experience, but I was not disappointed. I've cosmetology school graduates in the past that I've tried to work with unsuccessfully, as they were not prepared to work with clients. It's been a year and a half, and this artist is part of my core team. I look forward to hiring more graduates from L Makeup Institute!"
When producing film and television programming there is so much at stake that it is absolutely crucial to surround yourself with the most talented artists and technicians you can find. So when I have to find the very best makeup and special effects artists Las Vegas has to offer, my first stop is always L Makeup Institute, where they connect me with their best and brightest alumni. I have never been disappointed and have found, through LMI, strong collaborators that I can continue to trust on my productions.
They were absolutely f*%^#@ INCREDIBLE. Duran Duran loved them, and the whole entire team was just so happy with them. They were such a great group to have around -- so nice, fun and just so talented. We will definitely be in touch for any future projects we have coming up in Vegas.
