My manager did not really go into detail about the position or its perks, thus leads to my question. I know I could probably just call and ask, but I'm really nervous to. So please someone, anyone please help me! With my position, will I be able to receive a discount off on products? Any response is greatly appreciated, thanks!!

no. some locations give freelancers a discount or gratis, but generally no, freelancers don't get a discount.

For buying from the Pro site, how much is shipping usually? Is it the same as the regular site? And also, does the free shipping codes work on the pro site? TIA

 

[carandru]

^^^ The shipping rates can be found here MAC PRO | Customer Service

I don't believe coupon codes work on the pro site.

Can you purchase pro pan shadow refills off of the website when you get your card, or is it single shadows only???

I have a question since they require two diff identification I was wondering if i can send in my ID, nail technician and facial 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 and just put my cellphone number on it if they are interested in contacting me. I hope I get the procard with this.

If you are looking to get the 40% discount because of your freelancing I would say you should wait until you can get a personal buisness cards of your own made that state what one of your services as make up, then submit your facial license because I know it most states they use "facial specialist" and not the term "esthetician" when they act as the same thing pending on your state boards qualifications. But if you submit a nail tech and facial license I would say you would be prone to receiving the 30% off since you have nothing that states you offer make up artistry as a service.

Anyone know if that's right? Also, it says on the Makeup Show LA site that you have to show industry credentials to get in. Is that true? I'm confused.

Basically, your suppose to have credentials to attend the beauty show (the one i attended in nyc 3yrs ago). So that's why you aren't required to show any credentials again, if you already inside. That show was mostly for hair stylists, nail techs and estheticians. Thats all I know about that.

No discount on limited editions?

I was at the Brussels (Belgium) store today and the SA told me that since a few weeks they weren't allowed to give the Pro Discount on limited edition products anymore. Now, I know there is no discount on Christmas palettes and sets or department store exclusives; but I find it very strange that this also applies to the looks/color stories.

Is this new rule international or only specific for Belgium?

I usually buy more products from the permanent line anyway, yet I think I'm really missing out here.

MAC Belgium also doesn't participate in the Back-to-MAC program.

Alright so question.. I just graduated my Esthetics course in November and I'm working at a spa now.. I'm going to send in my MACpro application for the card.. I got my photo ID scanned, my diploma scanned.. and I didn't have a second piece of proof, so I scanned my transcripts... Do you think they'd end up accepting that? Being an esthetician, we don't have as much "proof" or cards or stuff as make-up artists.

 

[sierrao]

if my mom gets the pro card can i still bring it in and get the discount?

for your second proof scan your license or certificate or whatever its called up there. but you'll only qualify as an esthetician and get the 30% off. you won't get it as a makeup artist.

nope. she's the only one that can use it and the only one that can pay for the makeup. if you use it she'll lose the card and the discount.

A question similar to this has probably asked many times before...

But I've always done a ton of my friends and other people's makeup for special events such as dances or a big night out. I want to continue doing it cause it's soo much fun and I probably can start doing freelance work a lot more later on. I'm also going to most likely getting a position as a beauty adviser at a store. I was wondering if I'd be eligible for the MAC Pro membership?

Can anyone confirm that this is the case with the discount? I though it was only special packaging that doesn't get the discount but is it also anything that is limited edition from a color story?

Can you order through macpro.com if you live in the UK? Or are you limited to Pro stores and mail order? TIA!

No you can't. Phone and stores only, which is so ridiculous. MAC really needs to start making their rules universal, it would put an end to so much confusion!
