[playlulusim]

@makeupstop123 well he is super cute and fluffy! :)

[flyhigh513]

@Makeupstop123 hi I had a question about the pro card. If I worked for macys cosmetics counter any cosmetics counter like este Lauder or lancome, can I still get the pro card? What kind of proof would I have to send to mac to proof I even though I work for a cosmetics company will mac send me a pro card?

[makeupstop123]

@flyhigh513 Yes - go to the website and read the criteria. good luck

[playlulusim]

Maine Coon??? ------>

[TheGregoryLucas]

Its only 40% if you are a makeup artist. Students and all other categories get 20-30% off.

[xoxoxkissandhugs14]

Do you know if you apply for a MAC Pro Student card as a makeup artist if you get the same benefits as the MAC Pro card? Also if there is any other information about a MAC Pro Student card?

[makeupstop123]

@xoxoxkissandhugs14 Yes - go to website and read about it

[ashlyncara09]

I'm an esthetician student, but I haven't received my license yet. Can I still apply?

[makeupstop123]

@ashlyncara09  Yes, 30% discount

[TheTara1980]

Where do you work if you dont mind me asking? Do you work at Mac or at another salon or something?

[makeupstop123]

@TheTara1980 I currently own my own small business, "The Bright Side, Face adn Body Painting LLC".

[makeupstop123]

@TheTara1980 I have freelanced for MAC, and was the Prestige Manager at ULTA for about 9 months. Left to go to school and start my own business. "The Bright Side, Face and Body Painting LLC"

[jmsfly]

i graduated from beauty school, im not fully licenced, with my diploma and some business cards can i get a pro card? please reply!

[makeupstop123]

@jmsfly My advice is to fill out the application, submit your business card and a copy of your diploma. Good luck!

[Linbaaaby]

how do you make a business card

[CindaLou7]

lol your kitty is cute. he must be fun to play with

[Dany00caracoli]

hey, ok, I did work for 14 models at a fashion show for my University, would that count?

[CrazyBeanMachines]

no you have to show like 3 froms of id showing that you are a licenced makeup artist. :(

[makeupstop123]

@CrazyBeanMachines You do not have to be a licensed makeup artist to have a Pro card

[makeupstop123]

@Dany00caracoli Yes, if you have a letter from the university or a pamphlet or something crediting you as an artist. Letter or reference, etc...plus a business card and website. Go to teh website and read the application guidelines

[lrtbabes]

Im about to learn beauty at Braknell and wokingham college, im 16 nearly 17, and one day i want to be a makeup artist, can i get it when i get into college? and can you get it in england? :) thanks

[swatchmeupbuttercup]

[makeupstop123]

@lrtbabes Yes, go to the website

[oliviadavidson]

that is a big ass cat. haha cute <3

[mysugarspundream]

Hey girl, this is a great video! very helpful! If you don't mind me asking what specific information should be in the letter of employment? I work at Sally's Beauty Supply, do you think that would be acceptable?

[makeupstop123]

Your boss should type it up on company letterhead, he/she should know what an employment verfification letter is.

[Karmasluv]

OMG i was on that site earlier today and was afraid to give them my credit card information. I am glad I found your channel. I wonder if they will except a letter from my client that has contracted me to do her daughters pagent make up.

[deadlykissez13]

with the pro card u could only get the discount with pro products or can u use it at the regular mac stores?

[makeupstop123]

only at MAC Pro stores...not regular stores.

[beautiijunkii]

you can use it at MAC stores and Pro stores, just not at counters (Dillards, Macy's, Nordy's)....

[absoluteaddicts]

can you get one if your studying beauty at college?I have my first year qualification in beauty and starting my second (nvq level 3) in September so am I eligible?x

[MandaaPandaa101]

it stinks you can't use it at the mac counterss :(

[Purrrsuasive1]

Whoa OK, your cat is as big as a lion :-)

[Thetinypig]

If a person takes pictures as a hobby does that make them a photographer?

[yessika29]

Hi! Did you send a copy of your reference letter or the Original? And how many references would I need? Would one just do!

[Supergirl941]

ur cat is just lying there looking bored lol its so cute

[Supergirl941]

omg you can get one if you work at hot topic? COOL

im totally getting one

[J3eszy]

omg ur cal is huuugeeeee

[beezyfree]

thanks for the VIDEO! it really helped! :D

[makeupstop123]

Your welcome! Good luck and I hope you get your card!

[mdub68]

Thanks for the info :) And Your cat is my cats twin.

[sullenxstars]

if you are a student in a beauty related field, you can get a mac pro student card that is 20% off. which is still a really good deal.

[vidababi]

Thanks! This video was sooo helpful!

[drummerchick954]

Oh. My. God.

Your cat is HUGE.

But very pretty.

[makeupstop123]

Lol! Yeah, I know...I started him on diet food and he is not happy with me! LOL! I think he eats the dog's food when Im not looking!

[victoriaone]

Sooooo beautifullllll cat!! he is lazy!! ;))

[antdog23951]

I'm not sure I understand about the letterhead though :(  , I worked with a photographer before so ...do I ask him for a blank letterhead just like that ? or does it have to say something on it?

Thank you!! I really appreciate your help <3

[netzyo98]

Question, i do a lot of free lance makeup, i have business cards and i would be able to get a client to wite a letter, but it wont have a professinal letter head. what you think? A business card, letter of recomendation and i can take pics of my work. Do you think that would be good?

[makeupstop123]

Yes

[NicaBella121]

I'm a freelance makeup artist...I do makeup for proms, dances and photo shoots. I have business cards but what else do I need to get a pro card since I'm self-employed?

[cutiepiedev]

if you go to the mac pro website it will tell you but you will need a letter of recomendation (preferably on Letterhead because I hear they are cracking down) OR there is a bunch of other stuff u can use too...check out the website. :-)

[macaddict417]

I have seen so many other videos on the pro card and i have to honestly say that your video is by far the best and most informative. you definitely gave me the courage to apply for mine.Thanks so much your very sweet.

[makeupstop123]

Thank you Addict! Good luck getting your card...you are going to be glad you applied!

[stopreadingthisok]

hey thx for the great info i have 1 question what if a family member seems to be eligible for the card and i wanted to use it when i go and buy some stuff ,would they know or do they just swipe it ,do they have to see id ?

hope u reply thx

[makeupstop123]

They will check a photo ID...if you arent the person listed, they will confiscate the card and notify MAC PRO, rendering that person ineligible for another card.

[stopreadingthisok]

ok thx for the reply

[strictlybeautiful]

can u use the mac pro card at any mac cosmetics counter?

[makeupstop123]

No, online and at PRO stores.

[melodymr]

thanks for the video is really helpful!

I just have one question when sending a letter of employment o letter from a client some people send more than one, doest that make a difference? or one its ok?

[makeupstop123]

one should be fine, no more than 2.

[malkien12]

can we make a bs business card and send it in to get a card? or is that bad?

because i am not a makeup artist or w.e but i watch alot of makeup vids and own alot of makeup..so can i just do it?

[makeupstop123]

No, they take 6-weeks because they check your refrences...if you get "black listed" (trying to fake it), you will find it hard to ever get your PRO card or any other makeup discount card.

[makeupstop123]

you are asking me if its ok to cheat the MAC PRO program? I would say...no.

[nicoleh619]

Thank You so much for posting this. 5 Stars. So helpful!!! I plan on getting my card and I'm African American and already planned on taking my Caucasian homegirl for my demo. :-) You were on point with the info you gave out.

[makeupstop123]

Good luck to you Nicole! I appreciate the kudos and thanks for watching! Merry Christmas!

[MakeupByCheri]

This is so great -- thank you!

[transplantclub]

One last question: how long did it take to get your card after you submitted your app?

[makeupstop123]

Uhmmm...I think 4-6 weeks later I got my acceptance email, which had my login info to teh site. About two weeks after that I got my card. The mail has to travel to Canada...so it does take time.

[transplantclub]

Thank you!

[MsLiryc]

I do makeup for this photographer that I know, and its free can I have him write me up a letter of thanks and the contract that I had with him and send that to Mac to get my pro card?

[makeupstop123]

Go to the website and look at the criteria...you should be fine.

[AshleyWPD]

How are you? Your cat is so cute. :)

[2cute4u2003]

what if you model independently? what would qualifying documents be?

[makeupstop123]

Get a buisness card (which you should have anyway), and send in your head-shots and resume.

[transplantclub]

Stephiebaby7, is that true? Oh no! I thought the MAC card allowed you to get 50% off!!!

[makeupstop123]

No, its 40%...

[MY2HAZELEYEZ]

lol your hubby..thanks for sharing

[tinieballerina]

so u got ur card cause ur a free lance makeup artist and a recommendation letter? thanks ur video was helpful cause all ive been doing is doing makeup on a free girls for high skool dances.

[tinieballerina]

opps meant to say....doing makeup for firls for high skool dances....lol! srry!

[makeupstop123]

Yep...I sent in a buisness card, a ltter of thanks from the teacher, and a program with my name listed in the credits.

[daisyv316]

can you order with ur mac pro card over the phone? online? and still get the discount? I work for hot topic and do freelance but I dont have a mac pro near me. help!

[makeupstop123]

You can call in orders even if you dont have your PRO card. To get yours, you would need a letter verifying your employment (ask your boss for one), and send in either a buisness card or a letter of thanks from one of your jobs (or a pamphlet with your name in the credits). I place all my orders online...and when you are PRO, there are more colors and products that are available to you.

[daisyv316]

I'm going to apply but I dont have a prostore near by. I would have to go to beverly hills for that. But can one make phone orders and online orders with the procard? because I have heard that you can only get the discount when you go to the store. Also, do freestanding stores accept the discount?

[333nikki]

Love your videos, & I think it's nice you have your cat & dog in your videos!

[makeupstop123]

Thanks Nikki! I dont have kids, so they are my babies! LOL! Molly is my dog, and Praline is my cat...

[oreonshadow]

Thanks for all this information. Hopefully one day I can get my MAC pro card. Question is the 40% discount for only PRO products or for all MAC products? Thanks

[makeupstop123]

For everything except Viva Glam...those sales go to AIDs research...so they dont get discounted.

[StephieBaby7]

Only MAKE UP ARTISTS receive 40%. Any other type of employment in the industry receives 30%.

[333nikki]

I love your cat!

[makeupstop123]

Thanks! Praline is my baby!

[transplantclub]

Thank you!

[makeupstop123]

No prb! Get it!
