— LLAB MemberBut When It Comes To Beauty Product Knowledge, Your Confidence Starts To Slip.
You've put in the hours to get really good at what you do. Your beauty experience is exceptional and it's why you've gotten as far as you have in the industry.
But after a while, all your experience has stopped moving your career forward and...it feels like you've hit a ceiling.
You're ready for bigger opportunities, but you're not sure how to get noticed.
You can name what you like about products but can't explain why they work.
You want to be known for more than beautiful makeup application.
You're watching other beauty professionals become educators, consultants, big creators, or founders and wondering how you can do the same.
You know you need something to help you build authority but...you're not sure what's going to push your career to that next level.
Beauty literacy means knowing enough about how products are actually made – formulas, manufacturers, development, packaging – to decide for yourself what's worth your money.
They've gone from technique → product knowledge → product judgement people trust…
And that sets them apart from everyone else in the room.
That kind of beauty literacy is what helps you go from applying makeup to advising on makeup.
It's the difference between:
"I love this foundation. It looks beautiful on the skin, wears well all day, and photographs really nicely."
"Based on the formula, I'd recommend this if you have normal to oily skin and want a natural matte finish. The film formers and oil-absorbing powders will help it wear longer and keep your T-zone from getting shiny in photos."

We're Alexis and Christina
We've worked all over the beauty industry, from the sales floor to product development labs.
But when we look back on the opportunities we've had in our career, they didn't come from being trendy on Instagram or being the smartest, funniest gals in the room (although, jury's still out).
They came from our unique ability to understand how products actually work.
Beauty literacy is how we've built credibility, grown our platform, and opened doors we never would have imagined walking through.
And that's exactly the skill set we want to teach you.
Wondering If LLAB Is Right For You?
LLAB Is NOT For You If…
You're a beauty enthusiast that doesn't plan on making a career out of makeup.
You're only looking for product recommendations.
You want someone to tell you exactly what products to buy instead of teaching you how to make that choice yourself.
You're looking for quick beauty hacks or overnight virality instead of long-term expertise.
You're not interested in participating in live coaching, discussions, or an active learning community.
LLAB Is For You If…
You want to understand why makeup products work, not just which ones are trending.
You're ready to move beyond recommendations and develop your own expert perspective.
You want to confidently explain what makes one product different from another.
You're a makeup artist, creator, educator, or beauty professional who wants to stand out through product expertise.
You're naturally curious and love digging deeper into the “why” of things.
You want to make recommendations backed by knowledge instead of marketing claims or price points.
You're committed to continuing your education and growing alongside the beauty industry.
