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.

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?

Face Atelier still hasnt gotten back to me to let me know if I am approved for a MUA discount. I have heard yes from just about everyone but them. There website has no phone number. Has anyone ever been approved by them? How long did it take?

I think they probably want a certificate from completion of a Makeup school.

this may be a stupid question, but for the discounts, can they only be used online? because a sephora just opened up where i live, and thats pretty much the only place that carries those cosmetic lines, is the discount applicable at sephora for those brands, or is that a whole nother world. lol. im from canada, so i dont know if the rules are different. i know shoppers beauty boutique carries some of the top of the line brands now too.. so just wondering how the discount for that works.
thanks!!!

The industry discounts are not good at Sephora; they are generally only good when buying directly from the company. You would need to buy in whichever way(s) the program specified.

The MAC discount, as an example, is only good at MAC stores (not counters), macpro.com and the pro phone line.

I was, it took no more than a few days, and I believe I just sent them a link to my website. Speaking of, have you tried their products yet? Honestly, I don't know that I'm that impressed.

There are some states where you do need to be licensed. I live in Ohio, for instance, and unless you're applying makeup for the purposes retail sale, you have to have a license in cosmetology or esthetics. Not that many people pay attention, but those are the laws.

There are also courses that you can take that will provide you with a "certification". I don't know many people that take stock in those professionally, but they may serve as "proof" for some discount programs.
