If your card and information says Makeup Artist then you will get the 40% other than that you would get the 30%.

When I called and asked about the different address, the guy said that if you send it to the NY address they will open it and then mail it to the Canada address. So I'm thinking it might take a little longer but I'm not sure.

Side note- My friend who does more makeup gigs than I do got turned down for the Pro card. She didn't use a professional letter head and just sent a letter of reference from a bride who's makeup she did and the contract they signed along with her business card. So make sure its a profession letter head. Word has a TON of templates for letter heads.

Yes they will deny you my business cards and flyers were professionally printed. Theirs places online you can find to do them that are reasonable in price my stuff came to like 24.00 through Vista Print which wasnt bad because I do get use out of passing out my business cards and flyers.

Does anyone know if I can send them just the copy of my makeup artistry certificate or do I have to send in the original? I'm figuring that a copy would suffice, but better safe than sorry. I know MAC has gotten more strict in the last couple years with the pro discount. I emailed MAC but am still waiting for an answer and I'm hoping someone can answer my question. TIA!
