Things You'll Need:
- Drive
- At least $35 for a MAC Pro membership
-
Step 1
If you are already an ethestician, cosmetologist, model, performer or makeup artist, the hard part is already done. There are a few other professions, that will allow you to become a MAC Pro artist by submitting your credetials to MAC cosmetics and paying a fee of $35 to become a MAC Pro. Other careers are nail technician, photographer, perfomer or on air talent, fashion consultant, or other beauty industry technician.

Step 2
So what if you are not in one of these fields? Try doing it part time. Start doing makeup for the people you know and get a photographer take photos. Get business cards advertising your services. Prom time is a great time to get business. Or you could go back to school or get a part time job at a photography studio or somthing similar to get the needed credentials.
-
Step 3
When you are ready go to the MAC Pro website (listed in the resource section) and sign up. Be ready to submit a business card, id, and other credentials such as a license, letter of employment, union card, head shot and resume, diploma or certificate, program or press material, call sheet or other items listed on the application.

Step 4
What do MAC pro artists get? In addition to product discounts, they get free shipping, access to master classes, pro to pro parties and special offers and discounts on beauty industry products.
Good luck and get going!
