i don't think so, but you can always email them from the pro site and ask.

ok i emailed macpro and they said an avon beauty rep is not enough to qualify. I do work at
ulta as a beauty consultant which means i do makeup, but she said i could use a letter of reference.
my question is, who has to write the letter? can it be anyone (like another beauty consultant)
ot does it have to be a manager? and how long should it be?

 

[pinkgirl84]

if your not a member but would like to purchase products how can you thorugh mac pro?

 

[pinkgirl84]

also if your a model and have your comp cards done, does that count if your trying to become a mac pro member?

pfew , i just read this entire thread and i'm still unsure

here are the facts :

- I'm 20
- from Belgium
- i've been acting proffesionally since i was 6/7 years old, i have newspaper /websites etc proof of this, i've also acted in a (belgian) movie.
with my plays i traveled around the world.
- i just started photography (on my own so no classes or anything)
- i am a full figure model
- i do my own and other peoples make up
- me and my father used to do bodypainting and grime (freelance)
- i make roving (dreads from wool)
- i will be starting my own website soon...

NOW ,how do i do this? and am i even qualified for a pro card?

i want to fax ,but i dont have one...
if i find a fax machine

should i
make a copy of my
ID ;
a few headshots;
a few artikles of the movie /plays i acted in ;
a few headshots of the people i did make up for
and a link to my website...
IS THIS ENOUGH? and how should i do it? do i just copypaste everything on sheets of paper or what?

:s i have no idea how a fax works so forgive me my dumbness..

i dont have a bussinesscard
(on my website you would find all the above + reccomendations from clients etc)


also , since i live in Belgium, is this even possible :s
we dont even have a PRO store here

is there anyone from Belgium who has a pro card?
(i think i'm gonna ask this in the international threads too if thats ok)

help pwetty pwease....

 

[erine1881]

you are qualified. your acting would count on its own.

not sure if you could apply tho because they only have applications for the us and uk.

your photography and makeup wouldn't count since you don't do it professionally.

 

[kittiegothgirl]

ah thats good to know that i can use the acting alone

because, idd i dont have proffesional proof for my make up and photography

yeah, thats my biggest concern.. that its not available for Belgium ..
that would be such a bummer..
i saw something on their site about france and the netherlands.. but that still isnt belgium

lol

 

[erine1881]

I freelance makeup for weddings and such. I have a contract, 2 letters of recommendation and a business card. Is this all I need to be considered? This is really important to me. thanks

Whooohoo!! I finally got my card. Applied in-store mid-July and they let me use the discount on that day, for a one-time only purchase until I got my card. I got a letter a couple weeks ago while I was on vacation saying my credit card was declined (huh??) so I phoned them last week, they billed my credit card 4 days ago and I had the card in my mailbox by Friday (*so a week after I phoned them back),

I can't wait to go shopping! ^__^"

For my credentials I sent a copy of my actor's union card and a concert program that had my name in it. The program was dated back to early this February though o_0"

 

[charli687]

hi, when u said no more than i student kit, does that mean that i can only choose either the colour kit or the tool kit, but i cant get both?

 

[Mumpitz]

Is it possible to get this card for german cosmetic teachers?

 

[alysia56]

Okay, so here's another annoying question. I'm listed on imdb as a makeup artist (along with other stuff). If I print out that page and send it in, would that count, do you think? Along with resume/headshot, of course.
