    Default MAC discount

    MAC cosmetics offers a 30% discount for performers (ie us) and 40% discount for make-up artists. I told one artist what I did for a living and she insisted I sign up for the discount. To get the discount, I have to prove that I am a performer by supplying 2 of the following:

    Composite Card
    Business Card w/name and specific profession
    Editorial Page w/name and credit
    Union Card (haha)
    Head Shot and Resume
    Prof. License
    Diploma/Certificate
    Publication Masthead
    Program/Press Materials w/name
    Contract with Company
    Reference of Employment

    I spend about $600/year on MAC cosmetics for eye makeup. The $35 membership fee is nothing compared to what I will save.

    Why didn't a MAC artist tell me about it sooner? ARGH!

    I made a pretty little business card and sent it along with a letter from my club.

    I wonder do they really call the clubs if you send a letter from your club. I just cant see manegment looking "under your real name" out of 100 girls to see your status with the club.

    ^no, I don't think they call the club. They just want some sort of paper verification that you're in the entertainment business.

    30% is a nice discount. I wonder how I could prove I'm a performer. I know a guy who owns a record company. Maybe he'd write me a letter and say I'm his dancer.

    you could right your own letter... just use a nice letterhead..

    and even a contract or resume... i doubt they'll look into any of it.

    just a thought

    Could you say you do internet modeling? Would that count as a performer?

    That way you just make up a little business card and bring in a head shot or something.

    You are not the only one that does that. I interchange these all the time. I frequent both stores and they are right next to each other at the mall.

    ohhhh... I forgot about the mac discount...i should have posted it earlier.I've had it for a long time.All you need to take them are your hire papers and a business card.If you don't already have one you can make your own pretty easily or just go to a prient shop and have them print you out a sample.Samples are normally free or just a few bucks.

    I actually was thinking that if I ask this guy for a letter he might think it's a discount on a computer and want me to get him one! I'll tell him I'll get him some eye shadow.

    Apple offers an educational discount:

    If you order online, they don't check.

    Sheriff's card? Is that the license you get to dance?

    And I recall in college I got a great discount on a Mac computer. It came out to be almost 50%.

    Aw, you're such the cute dorky boy I love cute dorky boys!

    I just turned in my stuff earlier this week - I'd been putting it off for nearly a year because it's such a pain in the butt to get enough "proof" together. They told me it'll be over a month before I get my pro card though, urgh.

    You're cute because you thought computers, not makeup, in the body section, and dorkiness definately turns me on So does that sense of humor, tee-hee.

    The only MACs worth paying attention to end in "11" and "10"

    Ha! They have like a super-saver discount thingy <red SALE pic on the right side>

    Its all refurbished, cheaper, and has the exact same warranty as something new. I.E. No different. Not to mention, its the minimum specified. I.E. I ordered one with 512 megs of ram, it came with 2 Gigs. *SNORT* *Pushes Glasses up nose* Now I can play evarchest all night lung and Jill of the Jungal and Tomb Raider +Nudity Mod. I gotta go, my mom keeps calling me for dinner. Sheesh I keep telling her 'Ma, I'm 30, I'll be up when I'm ready' but then she starts in with the 'When you're in this house you follow my rules' blah blah blah....

    If only I had a BFG4000 AM I RITE? OF ALL THE TIMES WITHOUT MY CUNCUSSION GRENADES.

    DO NUT TOS ME. I AM KOOL.

    now by rights. I think I just cybersexed Gerina.

    No one does dork like I do.

    Haha gotta go! Mom's calling again!

    LOL

    I think that most women abuse MAC. I apply it wisely so that I stand out. You may wonder why MAC is so popular. Color, quality, and price. For "expensive" makeup, MAC is cheap.

    EDIT: I adore your term: cookie cutter "hot chicks". I didn't think a man distinguished between an original hot chick and a hot chick whose hotness is a trend, who probably had the "Rachel" cut in the 90s, and who is typically not so hot when you talk to her.

    Yes, it has your picture on it... you have to have one to dance in L.V., and you need a business license too. It's kind of annoying, but at least the card serves another purpose
