LMH Beauty Academy: Professional Makeup Education in Kansas City

Starting a career in makeup artistry can often feel overwhelming. After completing beauty school or a certificate program, you may find yourself equipped with foundational knowledge. However, when it comes time to work on real clients, you might struggle with confidence, structure, and clarity.

LMH Beauty Academy – Makeup Education was created to bridge that gap. This program is designed for artists who are serious about going pro and want more than just surface-level techniques. It’s for those who want to understand why makeup works, how to adapt to different faces and skin types, and how to build confidence behind the chair — without being taught a single “signature style” to copy.

Why LMH Beauty Academy Exists

Kansas City is home to many talented artists and strong beauty programs. However, there has been a missing middle ground: a professional makeup education that supports artists after school and before they achieve full independence.

LMH Beauty Academy focuses on:

• Technical mastery

• Real-world application

• Creative independence

• Professional readiness

  
  

This is not an influencer course. This is not a one-day workshop. And it’s not about creating replicas of Lucrezia Mapelli. It's about giving artists the tools to build their own style with confidence.

A Look-Based Curriculum (Not Topic Overload)

Instead of teaching disconnected topics, LMH Beauty Academy is structured around complete makeup looks, just like you’ll encounter in real client work. Each look serves as a framework to teach:

• Skin analysis and base matching

• Color theory in practice

• Contour theory

• Eye applications

• Lips & finishing touches

• Product selection and adaptability

• Efficiency and professionalism

  
  

Core looks include:

• Natural Makeup

• Soft Glam

• Full Glam

• Asian Beauty

• Bridal

• Editorial

• Mature Skin

  
  

This approach keeps learning engaging, practical, and directly transferable to paid work.

How the Program Works

LMH Beauty Academy is intentionally small and hands-on.

• Small teams of up to 4 students

• Demo-based mornings led by Lucrezia Mapelli

• Afternoon practice on real models (students are encouraged to bring their own; models can be provided if needed)

• Ongoing feedback, corrections, and guided improvement

  
  

This structure allows for real growth — not rushed learning or passive observation.

Real Work, Real Portfolio

This program doesn’t end with theory — it ends with tangible results. By the completion of the course, each student will have created and professionally documented eight makeup looks, forming the foundation of a professional portfolio. All photography is done in-studio to ensure consistency, quality, and usability across platforms. This means students don’t leave with just new knowledge — they leave with proof of their work.

Technical Education Without Cloning

One of the core values of LMH Beauty Academy is creative independence. You will not be taught how to replicate Lucrezia’s personal style. Instead, you will learn:

• How to analyze faces and skin

• How to adapt techniques to different clients

• How to make informed product and color decisions

• How to build confidence in your own artistic voice

  
  

The goal is not uniformity — it’s competence, confidence, and clarity.

Who This Program Is For

LMH Beauty Academy is best suited for:

• Artists who completed beauty school or a certificate program

• Makeup artists who feel unprepared or unsure when working on clients

• Artists who want structure, feedback, and professional guidance

• Those ready to invest in long-term skill development, not shortcuts

• Artists who want not only stronger skills but also a polished portfolio that reflects real-world readiness.

  
  

This is not a hobby course or a casual introduction to makeup.
