@biamayz27 There is a Union for makeup artist. Like any professional union the Local and district will depend on the area in which you live. For example in NYC my union Local is 798 District 10. There are certain steps you must take to join the union and there are certain perks to being in the union...one is your professional discounts. If I were you, I'd research it to find out if joining the union is a good option for you and your career.
@DoctressHorrible I know, there was talk some years ago of them putting one in place. I thought it would have been up and going by now. I don't buy much (none) urban decay so I'm not sure. When I referenced it some years ago, that was the information I was given.
I'm a professional Cosmetologist and i do makeup in my salon as well as freelance with weddings and proms. How can i take advantage of these discounts when there asking me for make up license. In the state where i live once you become a licensed cosmetologist you can operate in any area of beauty. Well i'm want to find out were can i get a certificate in makeup artistry? PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE ! tks
@anointed4beauty some compaines like MAC I know 4 a fact take cosmetologist licenses as proof, I just think the discount is smaller like 30% instead of 40%. I enclosed all the companies contact information when they ask 4 a license send a copy of ur cosmo license they will either accept or reject it. Or u can contact them & ask in advance. If u want 2 offer makeup u might want 2 consider getting a duel license it'll never hurt.
@anointed4beauty btw some companies don't even ask for a license they may ask for business cards, comp cards, agent referral, tear sheets, etc. Just reseach the brand u want a discount from & find out exactly what they require to approve ur discount
This was EXTREMELY helpful! I just acquired my Esthetics license Thursday and I have been wondering what discounts are available for licensed professional. Thank you for this information.
Schools for makeup artistry do not offer licenses. Makeup application is not regulated by most states (Florida is excluded). You may get a certification for makeup training or schooling.
@Jaynamama Or you a be a licensed esthetician which covers makeup artistry and obtaining that license from a state will grant you a discount with all companies that offer professional discounts.
@MaggieAnnieMUA some companies accept a cosmetology license but they may offer a discount at a lower rate seeing as how cosmetologist generally do hair and not makeup. I am referring to a license in Makeup Artistry which you can obtain for attending certain makeup schools that offer them. Not all companies accept licenses so be sure to read the things you need to be sure.
@chamirose I work mostly with makeup I'm not a cosmetologist so I don't work with hair. Being an esthetician kind of goes hand and hand with makeup though so I work a good deal in that as well.
@ladyglam2u I'm a makeup artist and an esthetician...cosmetologist work with hair mostly. Esthetician work with skin. Also a massage therapist but that's neither here nor there lol. Some companies offer discounts to cosmetologist gotta check them out to see which ones though...I'm not sure.
OMGOOOSSHHH, I JUST RACKED UP A CART OF STUFF BY MAKEUP FOREVER. THANKS! I'LL HAVE TO HOLD OFF. THANK GOSH!

Are you sure about the Urban Decay one? I emailed them a couple months ago and they told me they don't have a pro discount.
