You need to send proof that you are a makeup artist, ie) diploma/certificate from school, and say, a business card.

I've been approved for the card.. I saw the charge on my credit card last week (03/28/07). Now I have some silly questions..
* I haven't gotten my card or an email with my number on it. Should I expect an email any time soon? I live in NJ so I'm not sure how long the card will take to arrive anyway..
* Is the expiration a year from the date of approval? If so, that means we lose all that time between approval to actual receipt of the card. Which could be any time? So if they say 4 to 6 weeks.. that means you only really have it for 46 weeks?
I know most of these will be answered when it arrives.. but I'm just curious, not to mention i need to get some additional product for composites I'm doing in about 2 weeks.

Re: MAC Pro

thank you!! i'm going to kinko's tomorrow... i tired making a copy of my cosmetology license (don't want to send the original) and it printed with "void" all over the background... do you think they'll accept it? i just renewed it, so it's not expired.

Re: MAC Pro

Yes, they'll accept it as long as it's still valid and not expired. Just sent in a business card, your cosmetology license, and a copy of your ID/Drivers License. I suggest faxing in your application along with your credit card payment information for faster processing then mailing it in since it'll be sent to Canada so that would take longer.

i applied for the MAC Pro Membership with
-business card
-professional reference
- 2 x head shots
- certificate of training

and i was refused. I was told i must have tear off sheets and a certificate for at least 6 months training which i did...but was still refused!

From reading the forum i thought id have no probs of eligibility!

I dont understand why!?

I got charged around Dec 19th and didn't get my card til Jan 4 or 5th. I got my e-mail a few days before I got it in the mail. So, it usually doesn't take too long, just a couple weeks. It felt like forever though! and yes, the expiration is from the day you were approved.

Hello ladies. Im new. Names Jess.

Im applying for my macpro card. im faxing it in tomorrow and im sending in my buisness card, a resume, a photo of my work with my name on it (that is not professional, just a home made photoprint out of a model I did make up for).


and im wondering cause i start Make Up Designory in June. I have my course already and my schedule, would they take that as a cry for help, it is on their list of schools, it gives me a 10% discount off my tuition. so i kinda need it.

is that enough?

OHHH!! Congratulations! Very exciting! I got mine a few weeks ago and didn't need anything from MAC, but this past weekend, I had to go. I dont know how your MA's/SA's are.. but the one I got was all cutesy-cutesy and yakking to me in a condescending manner (in a nice way) I gave her my list of items, one was Helium pigment.. and she kept saying things such as "you do KNOW, that this is LIMITED EDITION! RIGHT? you know that right?" "are you sure you don't need anything else? Are you? are you?" until i pulled out that card.. DING! Change in attitude! She was still SUPER nice, but WAY more professional, with a please and thank you. Wonder what the change was about? Eh, no biggie.. I'm sure she meets more people who need more help then don't.. but the change was funny..

just wanted to add that if you get rejected, they do contact you. i got a call an hour after i faxed it, telling me what was not approved and what i needed to have to be approved! (i faxed in my term report for my makeup class, but she told me i needed a certificate, which i hadnt recieved (yet? if i get one at all))

i'm not giving up yet!
