Re: Industry Professional Discounts
I'm unsure, your best bet is to call/write and ask.

For make-up artists: Cosmetic retailer discounts?
hi everyone! I'm looking to explore outside of the MAC world of make-up. For all you fellow artists, what other cosmetic brands do you receive a discount from?
I recently just sent an email to Nars about their percentage program. any others I should highly consider?
thanks

Re: Industry Professional Discounts
I don't think that section is up. You'll have to email your request/info to Ryan Cox (rcox@stilacosmetics.com).

Re: Industry Professional Discounts
I don't have call sheets, but I can provide letters on company letter head for several fashion shows that I have done work on, do you think these would work for NARS and Makeup Forever discounts? I already have my MAC Pro

Re: Industry Professional Discounts
Your best bet when uncertain, is to call and ask them. I would think these would be accepted, but I'd call and double check if I were you.

Re: Industry Professional Discounts
Becca cosmetics has recently begun an industry alliance programme: http://www.beccacosmetics.com/inform...php?info_id=23
Also, Stila has re-instituted it's own programme. Email them directly for more info.
I believe that Kevyn Aucoin is also doing one now, though don't quote me on that right now.

Re: Industry Professional Discounts
I just got approved for my NYX discount! I'm a licensed manicurist so I'm able to get that and MAC. Only thing about NYX is you could only order twice a month, and each time, you have to request a code. But you don't have to go through the recertification process.

Re: Industry Professional Discounts
Just wondering do these programs all apply in Australia too? I know the MAC PRO program does. Are there any MUAs in Oz with programs besides MAC?
