Classrooms & Studios

Classrooms are small by design, with no more than 20 students; and an instruction ratio of one teacher per every fourteen (1:14) students for our Makeup Programs and one teacher per every twenty (1:20) students for our Esthetician Programs. This intimate environment fosters close student-teacher interaction, allowing students to discover, develop and refine their craft. Daily projects and skill-building sessions encourage learning by practice through hands-on repetition. In order to prepare students for the real world with the appropriate career skills, the cur-riculum is fast-paced; and students start working with products on Day One. This pacing allows our students to learn efficiently and maximize their time at the L Makeup Institute, so our students are prepared to work professionally immediately upon graduating.
