After having the best experience taking the brows master course I just had to run back to take the lip blushing master course. Again an amazing experience. Left with so much knowledge and feeling like all my questions were thoroughly answered. Lindsey Ta is amazing and anyone taking a course there is lucky to have her as their teacher.

No, this Lip Blush Master Course is open to all levels. You don't need a license, permit or certificate to enroll. We'll guide you through the compliance and safety requirements as part of the curriculum.

You receive an MLA certificate of completion. California requires county Body Art practitioner registration and Bloodborne Pathogens training to work; we show you how.

We keep class sizes intentionally small — a maximum of 6 students — to ensure everyone gets personal attention and hands-on guidance from our instructors.

Yes — our Woodland Hills studio is conveniently located near several hotels and short-term rentals. We're happy to share recommendations when you enroll. Many of our students travel from across the country and internationally.

In-person training runs from 9am to 5pm daily. Plan to arrive a few minutes early on your first day so we can get you set up and comfortable before we begin.

You'll receive access to the online modules as soon as your enrollment is confirmed. Most students complete the online fundamentals at their own pace before their in-person session.

The full program is 3 days — 1 day of online fundamentals followed by 2 consecutive days of in-person training at our studio. By Day 3, you'll have completed a full lip blush procedure on a live model.

Yes — you can pay over time with Cherry. At checkout, choose “Pay monthly with Cherry” and get approved — it takes about a minute, and checking your eligibility won't affect your credit score.
