All of this will be fine to submit for the application. Just make sure the bridal contracts look professional because someone said before that they reject contracts that look "home made." If you have a flier with your name on it crediting you as a MUA would be good too but if not, everything you listed above will be ok. I submitted everything you have except for the contracts along with a flier and MU certificate and I got the card. Best wishes!

Hi, I sent in a business card, a composite card and a letter of recommendation from a client and got accepted 4 days after I faxed them in. I don't think my letter of recommendation really counted though because I've heard it needs to be from an employer but I sent just in case. My composite card was for being a make-up artist and it just had a picture of me on the front (with a really well-done face of course) and a little information about me underneath (name, phone number, specialties) and on the back had 3 pictures of make-up I've done.

Shipping for ordering from Mac Pro

I wasn't sure whether to put this under the Pro Card thread or not, so feel free to move this if necessary.

My question:
How much is shipping (US) for ordering from Mac Pro? Also, do they ever have discounts on shipping (do the shipping offers from the regular Mac site apply?)

Thanks!

Re: Shipping for ordering from Mac Pro

i'm not sure to be honest. however you could always give mac pro a call today if the ordering line is open and see how much they charge. i'm sure it'll be around the same as normal mac orders. although i am sure i read once that if you spend over a certain amount (like $100) you would get free shipping but only for about 5 times a year or something.

Getting MAC Pro Card

Please forgive me if this is in the wrong place, but I didn't know where else to put it...

I'm trying to get more information on getting my MAC pro card. I know I've read here that you can get letters written from your clients to turn in as proof of "professional criteria". I've done makeup for the military balls here on island as well as some at home photoshoots for deployed spouses. Has anyone done this and received their pro card? If so, what did the letters say that were turned in? I really want to get my pro card in the next couple of months, I just don't know what to tell my clients to write in the letters. If the letter route doesn't work, what would you recommend based on the type of work I've done?

Any help is much appreciated!

xoxo

Edit: I made up a contract for a client I'm working with this week...can someone take a look at it for me and let me know if they think it'll work?

Renewing MAC Pro Membership?

Hi guys,

My 12 month membership as a MAC Pro Card holder is coming to an end, however I can't quite remember the exact expiry date of my membership.

I was just wondering, do MAC notify you when you're coming close to your expiry date to remind you to renew, or is it tough luck if your card expires and you have to reapply all over again?

How easy is it to renew?

Thanks!

 

[painted00eyes]

So I have scanned the posts but can anyone tell me how long between seeing their charge on your bank account and getting the card typically takes? TIA

This is more a Pro site question than it is a discount question, but I figured this was the best thread to direct my question to.

I was recently approved for a Pro card and now I'm just waiting for it to show up (so obviously I can't log in to the site at this point in time). I figured in the interim, I would start a list of products on the Pro site that I was considering purchasing. However, they recently changed the site and it looks like you can no longer browse pro only products. If you click on the link for "Pro Products" along the top of the page, then scroll all the way down and click "Go shopping!", it navigates away from the Pro site and takes you directly to maccosmetics.com. I'm happy Pro members can use the discount on the regular site now, but I'm a bit confused.

For those of you who already have Pro cards in your possession, are you able to log in to the Pro site and shop products that way? I'm going to be very disappointed if I can't create shopping lists anymore and have to actually head to the NYC Pro store just to browse!

 

[MUALindsay]

Yea, I haven't found a way to just browse Pro Products, either.

Do you have your card? It has the expiration month on the front of the card.

As for renewing, you don't get a reminder but you do have a couple of months flex time to renew. Mine expired in June but I dropped by my nearest Pro store at the end of August and renewed in a couple of minutes. I'm just waiting for a new card now.

 

[blondengeltje]

I want to at least see the pro items.

 

[xdanielleax]

Well I sent in my application on Tuesday to the New York office. I wonder how long it will take to see if I'm approved! The waiting is gonna kill me!!!
