MAC FAQ: PPID/MAC PRO Card

[VeronikaJ]

This is to any of who you currently hold a PRO card...

For my 2 forms of professional identification I am faxing over
_ My business card (Just name, title, address, and numbers)
_ A letter of reference from a large company in town that I have done makeup for (t.v. commercials, print, etc)

So, my question is... Will this be enough? The requirements say that this would be sufficient, but I was just wondering from any of those who have actually gone through the process?? Thanks so much in advance

That should be enough. I sent off a program with my name listed as "make-up specialist" and a letter from the dance company I do make-up for and they sent my card with no problems. I mailed mine. I also did NOT send my ID and they still sent me a card (the application I had didn't specify I needed ID -an MA from the NY store gave me an actual ap) I really don't think they are as hard on people as they think

but check your credit card statement, the charge showed up about a week and a half later and then I had my card a week after that

hth!

I am currently a Beauty Advisor for AVON. My title isn't actually make-up artist, however, I am qualified to do makeup/makeovers as well as give color and skincare advice to customers. Would this qualify me for a mac pro card? Thanks in advance.

Does the MAC discount take IMDB?

I'm applying for my MAC discount, but the production company I worked with has once again moved offices and won't be able to find the production cast/call list on company letterhead for maybe 2 weeks. Could I give MAC my IMDB page or is that not "legit" enough? If all else I could get a written recommendation done.

Just wanted to chime in....I'm a cosmetologist, also doing nails. I faxed my form yesterday morning along with one of my personal business cards and state driver's and cosmo licenses and MAC has charged my card today. Again, the fax # is 905-944-6400.

okay well im 20 dont have a business card and no license .. but i have done two weddings in the past 3 months and another one coming up in a month. i have a 'partner' i guess you can call that i work with .. and i do nails and also have no license for that .. would that even get me in the running for a pro card ??

I just wanted to say that I got my MAC PRO Student card in the mail today! Im soooo excited!! If only the website would work for me.

 

[petalpusher]

Congrats on getting your card, sugaxbayb!

Does anyone know if they e-mail you before you get your card? Or do they just mail the card to you with no prior contact? They charged my card over a week ago and I'm just an impatient person, lol.

They didnt email me before I got it. I was impaitent like you & than today I wake up & went to see if the mail came & the only thing was my card

Im going to guess yours is on the way cause only a few days ago I was whining about mine not coming & now its here.

Hi everyone,
I'm applying to get a MAC Student Pro card and I go to one of their listed schools, but I have one last question...
Do they care about what you're majoring in?

I don't imagine they do. I'm a cosmo and I sent in my Nail Tech biz card for mine.

Another timeline for y'all: Sent my items on the 21st was charged on the 22, received my card today. God, that was FOREVER!!! I'm going shopping!

 

[sugaxbayb]

damn, i wanna go shopping!! parents are driving me nuts by making me wait... i want that student kit sooooooo bad!!!!!

it takes 5-7 days. i've done this about 4 times now & i have one on the way. i've always received my orders less than 7 days. the only time i got the products longer than that was when dhl wasn't able to deliver or sign for the package.

Alrite, I'm gonn abe a cool kid and ask you all if you think I could get in on this. I've been modelling since last January, so if I sent in my DL, a copy of my magazine cover/spread, could i just add a resume and headshot to that? or just a resume?

thanks for your help!

Hey how are you? you dont have to have your license to get your Pro card with MAC.
You can fax them a copy of business card (that you can make yourself), a letter of recomendation from a photographer or someone who you have done makeup on before, the Pro Application with your $35.00, and a picture ID and thats it! If you fax it to them they will process it right away, if you mail it you will have to wait 4-6 weeks (I heard)
I jsut did mine and the day I faxed it to them, they processed it and mailed it out the following business day and I got it within a week!
Go to www.macpro.com and you will see its not that hard to be on your way to getting 40% off!!! LOL LOL
Good luck

 

[Katura]

I gotta know if my info will be enough!!! ^^^^^

 

[MiCHiE]

I think it will be, Kutura. I don't see why not.

 

[Katura]

awesome thanks!

Hi, I thought I'd ask here since several of you know how to go about this

I really want to get a pro-card since I already spend so much on MAC and want to invest in a larger selection of products, I am not affiliated with any company, but I am a freelance artist and not sure how to go about this. I have my business card, but thats about it, I dont have a license and dont work under a company? Advice? I'd appreciate anything, thanks

Mac pro card question.

I just applied for my Mac pro card. I am just wondering when I get it will be able to order products online? Also will the prices show on the pro website because right now without a membership there are no prices posted with the products.
Thanks for your help
