I’m your instructor, Diamond Weems

My journey began with a personal struggle. I was always mixing colors to find the perfect shade, which highlighted a significant gap in the beauty industry. Determined to address this, I launched Lip N Pour in 2018 to offer custom blend lipsticks and glosses, allowing everyone to create their ideal lip color. As the first Black-owned custom blend studio in Charlotte, NC, Lip N Pour quickly gained popularity. We’ve expanded with the Lip N Pour Mobile Studio, bringing personalized beauty experiences directly to our customers.

To further share my passion and expertise, I founded LNP Academy, where I teach aspiring beauty professionals the art of custom blending. My goal is to empower others to overcome the same challenges I faced and inspire them to create their unique beauty. Through Lip N Pour and LNP Academy, I’m dedicated to revolutionizing the beauty industry by promoting creativity, quality and customer satisfaction.

We recommend setting aside uninterrupted time for your session so you can fully engage in the experience. All training details and access will be provided once your payment has been completed.

How long do I have access to LNP Academy?

You will have 6 months to access any course that you take within LNP Academy.

What if I miss this registration? When is the next one?

All trainings are offered on a case-by-case basis, as this is an exclusive, one-on-one experience designed to give you personalized attention and guidance. Trainings are not scheduled in advance. I only launch a training when I know I can dedicate ample time to my students, since I’m running our corporate location alongside this training course. Once class is full, you will know by clicking on the payment link. A message will appear letting you know that registration has closed.

Do we go through the course alone? What if we have questions?

No, you will not be going through this training alone. You’ll have access to our support team and admins throughout your journey to guide you, answer questions, and make sure you feel confident every step of the way.

What if I am unhappy with the course?

Since this is a knowledge-based course and knowledge CANNOT be reversed once learned, this course is NON-REFUNDABLE. No exceptions.

Does this course guarantee results?

It would be illegal and unethical for me to guarantee your success. Your work ethic will determine your success.

Yes. If you live outside of the USA, you are able to take the course. There is an additional fee for shipping the kit outside of the USA.
