Ep. 133: How Lissette Waugh, Founder Of The L Makeup Institute, Is Training The Next Generation Of Elite Makeup Artists
On this episode of the Friends in Beauty podcast I welcome Lissette Waugh, the founder of the L Makeup Institute to the Friends in Beauty guest chair.
L Makeup Institute opened to students in 2010 as a destination program that elevates beyond the typical cosmetology school into a unique and highly-sought-after learning institute. Distinct from cosmetology school programs which focus on teaching hair, skin, and nails, the L Makeup Institute exclusively teaches the art and science of makeup artistry and offers programs in all styles of makeup artistry.
L Makeup Institute is one of the few makeup school programs in the country that is accredited through Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC) and meets the strict industry standards for makeup artistry and special effects, which means graduates of the program are ready to enter professions immediately. And with a robust job placement and graduate services program, L Makeup Institute opens doors for graduates, leading to exciting opportunities in some of the biggest industries in the world, including fashion, film, and television.
Since 2010, L Makeup Institute has opened a second makeup school in Dallas, Texas, a beautifully appointed campus featuring ten separate training classrooms, a special effects lab, and a photography studio. L Makeup Institute has graduated over 1,000 students that have gone on to careers and work such as Grammys, Latin Grammys, One Drop, CMA’s, Billboard Awards, Resident Cirque Makeup Artist, Top Magazine Covers, and so much more.
As a fellow educator I was so excited to talk to Lissette and learn all the ins and outs of L Makeup Institute. In this interview Lissette shares:
-What inspired her to open L Makeup Institute and the evolution of the school since 2010
-How she strategically developed the curriculum to yield the best results
-The Important of being professional taught MUA
-The Lifestyle of a Celebrity MUA
-The demeanor and character traits that must be carried as a MUA
-The biggest misconception students have before entering the beauty industry
-What new MUA’s should be focused on business wise
-And so much more
This was an awesome conversation with Lissette and she has so many amazing things coming up. Let’s go ahead and jump into it and if you prefer to watch our beautiful faces then tune in on YouTube.
