So what are you asking about?
Just read over this. Go ask for an application at the MAC store. Besides if you seriously just want the product, you can just phone the MAC Pro line and order through the phone and get it shipped to you.

The MAC Pro discount is intended for industry professionals only. That could be if you're a licensed : Cosmetologist, Nail technician, barber or Aesthetician. This means you went to school for one of these trades, graduated took your state board and passed.

Other professions that qualify are : photographers, and professional models.

Now, for the Makeup Artist discount, this means that you are an established working makeup artist. Not that you do makeup for your friends, for your neighbors, or that you want to start being one. It means that you already are.
They do not accept letters of references from "customers"

Professional Criteria only, which is:
-Tear sheet
-Call sheet
-Comp Card
-business cards
-Union Card
-Makeup school certificate

and you have to send 2 of the mentioned above (in addition w/ a copy of your state issued ID.)

I am trying to clarify this because I have seen alot of posts saying " I have done makeup for this, or my neighbor wants me to do this makeup" that doen not make you a makeup artist. Just like me rubbing alcohol on someone does not make me a nurse/doctor.

This discount is intented for those who need this for their kits. Not for people who want to pay less for MAC just because.

I know that pro card fraud is abundant, but if we can please stop it, we should at least try, as it does affect those of us who make a living out of this.

Now this is what your envelope should contain when you want to send it in:

-Copy of your ID (this is not valid as proof of profession)
-Check for $35 made out to MAC COSMETICS
-2 proofs of profession
*Copy of Licence (aestheticia/nail tech/ cosmetologist/barber)
*business card
*tear sheet
*Call sheet
*comp card
*Union Card
any variation as long as its 2.

and thats it.

for Models:
Your Head shots and resume.
(Resume is for models/photograhers ONLY, any other profession needs the proofs mentioned above)

Photographers:
-business cards
and Proof of employment either from a studio or resume if you freelance.

I hope this clears things up, as this is pretty much the requirements that are needed for a member application, I worked at Pro and dealt with applicants all the time.

I am hoping I can make the process easier here, for the Pro's wanting to apply.

( POSTED AGAIN FOR THOSE WHO KEEP ASKING THE SAME QUESTION)

About how long do you think it takes to receive it? 6-8 weeks?
I am not even most excited about the discount I'm more excited about the makeup classes I can attend now.

my MA said 4-6 weeks. But I guess it depends if you sent it yourself or you let the store send it. And it also depends on your location too I think

You can call the MAC Pro phone number and order the MAC Pro products. If you just want the Pro product you do NOT need a MAC Pro membership. They can ship to a PO Box. It's alright. You just need an address. So that is fine. Just phone the MAC Pro phone number to order.

Use a credit card. They should accept the typical cards. Mastercard, Visa, AMEX.

Have you never ordered something over the phone or online before with your credit card?

When you call, they take your credit card number and charge your account.

when you mail in your check for renewal, send in a photocopy of your new drivers license along with a letter stating you've moved and need your address changed on your account.
