Lissette Waugh
“I’m very passionate about my craft and helping others make a difference. I give it 100% all of the time.”
Lissette Waugh loves helping others pursue their passion. While working in salons and spas in Las Vegas, Lissette realized there was a need for a high-quality makeup school that could train the next generation of makeup and special effects artists. So Lissette founded L Makeup Institute from the ground up in 2010 and opened schools in Las Vegas and Texas.
“Artists are often forgotten about,” Lissette says. “Giving a voice to those people like myself that have a passion for artistry is so important to me.”
Offering a variety of beauty, hair styling, airbrush and body painting courses, Lissette helps artists realize the best version of themselves so they may help others realize their best selves. Lissette sets high standards for herself and her students, and that’s a big reason why L Makeup Institute leaves the mark that it does.
“We offer a safe place for all artists to come and share their stories, struggles and accomplishments,” Lissette says. “Seeing them happy is the fuel that continues to keep my passion going.”
