What is the best way to buy pro products if you are not a makeup artist? I want to buy some of the pigments but I don't just want a sample.

You can shop from one of their pro stores (check their website for exact locations) or you can call 1-800-588-0070 and order them over the phone. You don't have to be a makeup artist to buy pro products... You can also check the clearance bin here, lots of girls sell them for decent prices.

Well I tried calling that number to purchase products and they told me that I am unable to purchase the products since I am not a member of MacPro. Any other suggestions??

It's hit or miss with their CS reps sometimes. I would try calling back and getting another rep.

Definitely agree with Janice,..call back and try another rep. I have never been told that I could not order. I, of course, don't get the discount bc I dont have a pro card,..but they have always sent my orders.

I've called 3 times, and gotten 3 different reps, but nope, they won't sell them to me!!!! darn them.....darn them all to heck!!! (quote from madagascar) lol

Chat InformationHello. Thank you for your interest in MAC Cosmetics. My name is Erika. How may I assist you?
ROXY!: i just had a quick question
Erika: Hi Roxy. How can I help?
ROXY!: a friend tried to order some MAC Pro product and she was denied
ROXY!: i thought that anyone could buy Pro product
ROXY!: you just didnt get a discount
ROXY!: can you tell me if this is correct
Erika: Yes, you are correct. Do you know if she called our toll free number?
Erika: That's so strange!
ROXY!: yeah she just called the toll free number i think thats listed on the MAC Pro site
ROXY!: ok well i just wanted to check and make sure that the rules hadnt changed
ROXY!: that would be so sad
Erika: I can't think of any reason she should be denied unless she was trying to order large quantities of any single product or they were out of what she was looking for.
ROXY!: hmm, maybe someone can let the customer service people know that anyone can buy Pro product
ROXY!: nope, just a few Pro products
ROXY!: i think its kinda wierd that they would turn away a customer
ROXY!: ok well i guess thats really all that i had
Erika: Have her call 1-800-387-6707 next time. I am happy to forward you a link to our Consumer Communications Department if you'd like.

asked about this on live chat, said it was a friend, lol

Ha I give up!!!!!! Ok so I tried calling back two different times the first 800 number and still got the same answer sorry nope. Then I tried talking to Live Chat on MAC.com and they said the same thing that I can't purchase items cause I am not a member. I guess its not meant to be!

Hmm... That's strange!
Well, did you try calling the pro store directly as suggested above?
