I'd love to apply for a PRO card but I'm worried that my information will not be good enough.
I have business cards (of course!) and a few photos of a womens makeup I did for a party she was going to as well as a letter of rec. from her.
I have other photos of makeup I did for a girls sweet 16 but they are regular photos.

I just mailed my stuff out for the 2nd time. Appernetly "I didn't mail my app" but I'm positive I did. I'm sending my contract and business card. Hopefully I can get it.

Hello
Is there anyone who can provide me with their own experience of applying for MAC pro membership in the UK?
I can provide business card/letter head and letter of reference and photo ID for my application. I hope this will be enough.
Regarding timescales, can anyone who has applied in the UK tell me how long it took to process their application.
Many Thanks
Laura

Im trying to get a Pro Card but I'm hesitant to send my business card in. I have a Fafi image on the front of the card and the Barbie loves MAC dolls on the back. All I was thinking about when I ordered them was how much my clients would like them. I didn't even think about the fact that it could be a copyright violation. VistaPrint forbids the use of a copywritten image so am I ok? Do u think MAC is going to sue me if I send in that card? They are brand new and have only been distributed to a few people.

Mac is not going to sue you over a freelance business card :there are bigger fish to fry and you are no legal threat to Mac. If they saw the business card and felt you shouldn't use the image they would ask you to not use it. Also a lot of blogs and websites use Mac's logos to reference the brand and I have never seen.them attempt to bring any action against linking to these copyrighted images. So they may ask you to not use it on your card but suing? Naaaaah

Actually we had somene come in w/ a card with C-shock, Fafi and other promo images, and they denied her on the spot because of copyright infringement. I would suggest you get a different card, because even if they do not sue you, they will deny your application.

Hey guys.
I'm planning to submit my application for my pro card.
I am including my business card and also a reference letter from a previous employer, a photography studio I did makeup for, do you believe this will be sufficient? (as well as drivers license / fee / application)
Thanks ladies and gents.

Yep, as long as the references are on company, salon or production letterhead.

I have a question since they require two diff identification I was wondering if i can send in my ID, nail technician and facial/aesthetician license they would they count as two different for of ID because they are two diff license. I also do freelance on the side but I dont have a business card made because I always give out the business card of my workplace (nail and facial) and just put my cellphone number on it if they are interested in contacting me. I'll be happy with any kind of discount but do you guys think i'll qualify for the 30% or 40%? since I dont have anything to back up my make up artist status.

They probably wouldn't accept you for the makeup artist status. You could always get a small pack of makeup business cards made up. Make sure they are professionally done though, not from your home computer.
