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

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.
