I freelance makeup for weddings and such. I have a contract, 2 letters of recommendation and a business card. Is this all I need to be considered? This is really important to me. thanks

Re: MAC FAQ: PPID/MAC PRO Card
Whooohoo!! I finally got my card. Applied in-store mid-July and they let me use the discount on that day, for a one-time only purchase until I got my card. I got a letter a couple weeks ago while I was on vacation saying my credit card was declined (huh??) so I phoned them last week, they billed my credit card 4 days ago and I had the card in my mailbox by Friday (*so a week after I phoned them back),
I can't wait to go shopping! ^__^"
For my credentials I sent a copy of my actor's union card and a concert program that had my name in it. The program was dated back to early this February though o_0"

Re: MAC FAQ: PPID/MAC PRO Card
Okay, so here's another annoying question. I'm listed on imdb as a makeup artist (along with other stuff). If I print out that page and send it in, would that count, do you think? Along with resume/headshot, of course.

Hi Alysia,
I have a MAC Pro card. It has been my experience that if you send in what they suggest/ask for as acceptable documentation on the PRO application, that would be the best bet. I belive the reason they are specific is because anyone can "create" things these days. If you have a resume and headshot, I know that is acceptable form of documentation, so send that and a photocopy of your drivers license. Faxing it in is always helpful too.

Mac Pro
I'm a budding artist and want to be a MACpro. I know I need two of the things on the macpro list. I have a business card and have a certificate from a one-day make-up artistry clinic. Is this good enough or do I need a certificate from a certain make-up artistry school?:confused:

Re: MAC FAQ: PPID/MAC PRO Card

Re: MAC FAQ: PPID/MAC PRO Card
Do you have any of the docs they're asking for on MACPRO? As long as you send something from the list, you should be fine. If in doubt, call and ask.

As long as the program contains your full name and position (make-up artist), I see no reason why it shouldn't be accepted. I'd only fax over the resume and headshot if one out of the two credentials is declined. Hope that helps and let us know what worked for you!

Re: MAC FAQ: PPID/MAC PRO Card
I believe it's been stated that you'll only be charged upon approval.

Re: MAC FAQ: PPID/MAC PRO Card
Mmm k quick question. Some girls on Youtube who post makeup tutorials have a PRO membership although they have no formal training or anything. Anyone know how that could have happened?

Re: MAC FAQ: PPID/MAC PRO Card
 Maybe they meet the criteria in other ways. You don't have to be an MU artist for MAC's program.

The Mac Pro Card is available to those who participate in one of the following professions: makeup artist, photographer, aesthetician, model, cosmetologist, hairstylist, performer/on air talent, nail technician and fashion stylist / costume designer.
As long as one meets these requirements (with valid documentation), he or she can recieve a Pro Card. Like ♥MiCHiE♥ said, some of those girls may have meet the criteria without being a makeup artist. Visit the macpro website or search through this thread for more information.
