Re: Industry Professional Discounts

i emailed the email back and she said to call end of the week to update my address since they should have my info in by then. yay! now if only all my stuff would get here like now! i'm waiting on a new cell phone, a swap package and my mufe stuffs! yay!

Re: Industry Professional Discounts

I still havent ordered from MUFE :-X
I really need to. The idea of having to call and place an order just uhhhh NOT happy about.

MUFE needs a pro site like MAC.

Re: Industry Professional Discounts

yeah that'd be better but eitherway i need stuff so i'll deal eventually. i hate phone calls. and right now i can't make them(current phone gets NO reception at new house, hopefully new phone gets here tomorrow) so we'll see.

did you see about mac changing their pro site? i got an email saying we'll be able to order from maccosmetics.com too

Re: Industry Professional Discounts

I freaked out and was like OMG I didn't get that email! But haha I just went and logged in and realized it's for an old email that was tied to my old cellphone which I don't know the password to :-x


did it say how we log in? cause they had tons of those mini sampler kits on the regular site which I would LOVE to have since the smaller the items in my kit the happier I am.

Re: Industry Professional Discounts

mini sampler kit what? i never go on the regular website. hmm

i'm searching my box now to see if it's still in the trash.

oops apparently yahoo empties trash for you at midnight :/ lame

i dunno it said they're revamping the macpro.com site and something about soon we'll be able to order from maccosmetics.com and be able to get reg and pro products.

dunno why or how this all works out though.

Re: Industry Professional Discounts

Hmmm interesting.

It was around Christmas so I don't know if it would apply w/ the discount. But they had a small kit that had a mini fix+, whatever the oil remover is, and some other mini stuff in it. It was just cute. And I am weird. I have generic mini spritzer bottles I got from the dollar store which do the job. But I am a package slut so if I can have a more compact cute version of my products which are normally packaged in larger bottles than I am a sucker and spend money that I don't need.

I reallllllllly hope they don't redo the pro site to be like the regular site. DO NOT LIKE.

BUT a beneficial thing would be if you got a MAC online giftcard and could use the giftcard someone bought for you but still be able to use your membership discount when you go to redeem it since you can't do that on the pro site.

Re: Industry Professional Discounts

ooh ya i'd do the same! i love mini original bottles. i hate generic packaging/not original for some reason. it bugs me so bad. so lame.

ugh yes i HATE the regular site. it's sooo hard to navigate!

i was told gift cards can't be used period with your discount. that's what i was told in the pro store at caesars a few times. but maybe that's bad info+

Re: Industry Professional Discounts

Sorry to bud into the convo, but this new Pro discount on maccosmetics.com thing has me intrigued/confused.

Here's a copy/paste of the exact email:

COMING SOON!
In the next few weeks, we will be updating the M·A·C PRO Website with a brand new look as well as these new features:
Simplified sign in makes it easier to login to view content and products.
Shop M·A·C and M·A·C Pro Products using your Pro discount at maccosmetics.com!
Connect, share and network with Pro Members around the world.
Plus, more to come...

I tried loging in on maccosmetics.com but it just pulled up the account that I had before I became a Pro member. I guess we'll just have to wait and see (damn, I hate having to be patient lol)...

Re: Industry Professional Discounts

I was wondering the same thing...

Re: Industry Professional Discounts

Definitely hanging onto this information, thank you so much.

Re: Industry Professional Discounts

still haven't gotten my mufe stuff really bummed

Re: Industry Professional Discounts

ok kinda weirded out i guess. i got my catalog today and it was forwarded from my old address. it was only sent on the 10th of this month which that's fine, whatever. but i didn't receive a card with it just a congratulatory letter and the catalog. also it doesn't have prices, is there a way to look up prices?

i need to call and change my address as well so i could ask them then but i'm just wondering what to do or say?

Re: Industry Professional Discounts

Hello, I justed faxed over my app to MUFE, and I will update when I receive a response back.
Thanks

Also, I emailed UD inquiring about the MUA program, and I didnt hear from them so I called them and they stated they were currently working on a program and for me to check back later...

Hi ladies,

 

I've compiled a list of the makeup artist discount programs on my blog. I thought it would be really handy to have it all in one place.

 

Let me know if you know of any others and I'll update the post!

Thanks this was really helpful, but does anyone know if you can get these internationally?? I live in New Zealand and have contacted MUFE but have had no reply.

Thanks for your help guys, I received my MUFE catalog in the mail they said they were out of the backstage cards but my info is in the computer so I can place order anytime via telephone.

Does anyone know out of these, which accept an Esthetician? I know MACPro, OCC & Illamasqua do...but I was curious if anyone else has applied as an esthetician? Thanks dolls!

I am going to mail in my MUFE application this week, but I was just curious as to how much shipping was or does it depend on how much you buy? Thanks. :)

I was wondering does MUFE send out catalogs on a regular, although I havent placed an order yet and I received the catalog in Nov. ??? I noticed the catalog I got is from 2010.  DOes any body have a 2011 catalog, just curious ??

 

Also I noticed the MUFE dicount program is valid for two years, has anyone renewed there's ??? If so what is the process?? Do they send you a letter telling you your membership is going to expire ??? TIA

Has there been any clarification on whether UD does or doesn't have a pro program?

 

Also, does anyone know if the Inglot pro discount transfers from the US to Canada?

I emailed UD at udpro@urbandecay.com on April 5 and got no response.  So I called their customer service and was told that they are currently working on putting one in place, but it is not available yet. 

Thank you for the update!

 

For those who have applied for and received their MUFE card, how long did it usually take?

Do you have to be a make-up artist to receive a MUFE card? what about photographers?!

Here's the link to the pro discount http://www.makeupforeverpro.com/artistrelations/backstage.html

I believe you can get a discount as a photographer but it will be a 20% instead of the 40% MUAs get.

 

I got my MUFE Backstage Card in NY, but live in Montreal, and would like to order from the ProLoft here. But I think the card itself might be different. Mine doesn't have any kind of number on the back (I assume you're in their computer system or something?), whereas the pro-only login on the Canadian site requires a 5-digit number that is apparently on the back of the card. 

 

So confused. 

Hi everyone! Total NEWBIE here, I am going to be finishing my makeup certification beginning of December, my question is, once I finish my classes, how difficult will it be for me to get PRO disounts as soon as I finish.  Are these things that will take a while because I will need to build a portfolio first? I was thinking of building my makeup kit with items I can get a discount with, but I've been seeing things such as reference letters, tear sheets etc., and I obviously won't have any of those. Would a business card, ID, certifcate and maybe a reference letter from my instructor (she is a celebrity makeup artist, so I was thinking that may work??) be enough?  

 

Sorry for the long post and a million questions! 

 

Being a newbie it can all be sort of overwhelming at first, any help is greatly appreciated!

What pro membership are you talking about hun? MAC? I wouldn't worry about a portfolio. None of my applications to pro memberships have been sent a portfolio. And I have numerous pro memberships.

 

And I know I went MIA after posting about MUFE's discount. But I have a sheet from their pro road show stating prices for MOST of their products. If anyones interested in seeing it let me know and I can scan it.

MAC, MUFE, Cinema Secrets are a few of the brands I was thinking of....

 

I'd love to see the price list!  

 

So I guess I don't need to stress about not having a portfolio then?   Thanks so much!!!!!

I'll try to get it scanned today.

 

You always want to have a portfolio but really all you need is the documents listed in the application dont worry about going above it. No one every asks for a portfolio I think the only brands I can think of off the top of my head who look for a portfolio is OCC, NARS, and Camera Ready Cosmetics.

 

 

I was super paranoid about not getting my MUFE card (as far the the international issue mentioned, I would say call MUFE Canada and explain to them and have them issue you a Canadian card they should be able to verify this information in their system or confirm it with MUFE US) but it was a lot easier than I expected. Its funny because even though I know I have credentials for all the applications I still get paranoid that I'll get turned down.

 

 

Another site I think everyone should look into applying for is Naimie's. I think we all have heard of Naimie's but they have a pro application where you get 20% off of everything and increased discounts on some brands. And you can either call and place an order or do so by email. Which over all is a lot more convenient than applying for a discount for every brand they sell... heres their discount list
