L Makeup Institute

L Makeup Institute is a Las Vegas-based makeup artistry school offering hands-on training in beauty, SFX, airbrush, on-site hairstyling, and advanced skincare, with a second campus in Southlake, Texas. Programs include a Beauty Makeup Program, SFX Makeup Program, Advanced Prosthetics Program, and Esthetician License Program, delivered in an 11,000-square-foot facility within Tivoli Village that features HDTVs for live demos, a photography studio, and custom-made special effects ovens. Founded by celebrity makeup artist Lissette Waugh, who opened the Las Vegas campus in 2010; Waugh's advocacy contributed to a change in Nevada State law recognizing makeup artistry as a distinct and independent industry. Campuses in Las Vegas, NV (440 S. Rampart Blvd. B130) and Southlake, TX (112 State St #200). Some reviewers highlight the creativity-driven program and welcoming admissions staff, while others raise concerns about whether hairstyling coursework qualifies graduates to style hair professionally under Nevada licensing requirements.
