Yeah I know that but I don't think they qualify as anything else either. Meh, whatever... you never know.

Like what was said above, they could have received the card other ways (being a photographer, model, etc.). Are you sure they have MAC Pro cards? Or are they just using pro products?

I was going to ask the same thing. Because anyone can buy Pro products, not just cardholders.

I was just wondering if there was a certain time that the fax needed to be sent?.. because I tried sending it today but there was no answer.. anyone know? Thanks.

Hmn... I never tried to contact MAC over the weekend, but since applications are sent directly to the processing department, I suggest faxing yours during the weekday (Monday through Friday) between the hours of 10 am to 7 pm (possibly 10 pm) eastern time.

:yes:

Double-check the number, also. Most businesses don't shut their fax machines off during non-business hours.

Thanks. The number is 905-944-6400 right? That's what I got from previous posts. I've read through the thread and it says the number should be on the application, but I can't find it.

Yeah they had stated that they do have the membership.

Anywho, another quick question for you lovely ladies. I currently work part time at a spa (as a receptionist) and I do makeup application/lessons whenever they need some extra help (usually bridal parties and whatnot). I don't have any formal training in the field but the owner of the spa (experienced in aesthetic services herself) said that I would definitely qualify to do makeup applications. Now since I don't have a certificate or anything like that saying that I do makeup but I technically do, do you think that I could send in a pay stub as proof that I work for the spa or anything like that with my application to the pro membership? Thanks in advance!

ohhh i want the card- but i'm not in the field *weep weep*

Unfortunately, pay stubs are not considered as professional criteria or proof of profession. In order to received your Pro card, an applicant must supply two of the following:

• Composite Card
• Business Card with name and specific profession
• Editorial page with name and credit
• Union Card
• Head Shot & Resume
• Professional License
• Diploma/Certificate
• Publication Masthead
• Program?Press Materials w/ Name
• Contract on production company letterhead
• Crew/Call list on prod. co. letterhead
• Professional letter of reference of employment.

I recommend e-mailing Mac Pro; it never hurts to ask. If you can, try and obtain a Professional letter of referance of employment from your boss and a letter of recommendation from any brides/bridal party members you worked on.

I believe the number you provided is correct, though I couldn't find any information on the application itself. I would e-mail mac pro to confirm the fax number you have is correct.

:yes:

Thanks Lorelai, I emailed MAC Pro about the pay stub thing. I'll definately be getting a letter of recommendation from the owner and I'll track down some ladies for who I did makeup for their Gala last weekend.

Hi ladies,

Just wondering.. I've done makeup for models for their photoshoots, and I have a business card.. Can the photographer whom I work with write me a "professional letter of reference of employment"? And that would need to say that I collaborated with him on the shoots as a MA right? & what else? I regret not applying sooner as I'm madly in love with the new collection *sighs*

Thank you!

Yep!

You may want to contact MAC pro to learn what specifically needs to be written. Personally, I believe this will do just nicely.

Since MAC pro requires only two proof of profession documents, your buisness card and reference letter (along with your application) should be accepted. If you're still uncertain, you can add a resume or contract (if you have one).

Hope that helps!
