Pro discounts for makeup artists

This is a list of discounts available to makeup professionals from various makeup brands and specialist suppliers. To join a professional discount program, you’ll have to complete an application form and prove your job status. Each company outlines what proof is required. Pro-membership sometimes includes other perks, like access to training, events and exclusive news.

Our list of pro discounts for makeup artists is not comprehensive – it is just a guide to get you started. You will still have to do your homework to see if you meet an individual company’s full requirements and so on!

Also, brands do change their pro discounts for makeup artists from time to time. Therefore, it is always worth checking in with a brand to see what’s new.

    1. I don’t know but I really want a pro discount for p.Louise cosmetics and Morph what can I do in this case

      1. Hi Ashley, try contacting the companies directly – we couldn’t find mention of pro discount on either website ?

      1. Hi Raj – we couldn’t see anything definitive on their website – try calling UD customer services on 1.844.483.3229 (Mon – Fri: 9am – 5pm EST – Excluding holidays). Hope they do something for those of you in Canada ?

    2. Does anyone know if we can still get pro discount on Urban Decay in the UK I live in Birmingham and I travel to London once a year to stock up first the Covent Garden store closed and now the Carnaby Street store has gone

    3. Very little available in South Africa…. please could you confirm which discounts we can get as there seems to be no mention but I do know MAC and urban decay are available here.

      1. Hi Lauren – check out the brands above listed as “international”. We’ve updated MAC too to show as international – thank you for the head’s up there ?

    4. My colleagues were searching for NYX Professional Discount a few days ago and learned about an online service with a lot of fillable forms . If others are interested in NYX Professional Discount too , here’s https://goo.gl/91JcVe

    5. Hi I was just wondering if you have a MAC application form for make up artists? The link you have used says there is an ERROR and I have no other way to apply? I cant seem to find an application form for the UK.

      Thank You

    6. When will urban decay offer discounts to UK professional? USA seem to have so many discount schemes but we don’t

      1. We know Nahid – very biased are some. We’ve no idea when – or even if – UD will do a UK pro discount. All we can say is “UD… HURRY UP!” ?

      1. There are a couple already listed, but if we learn of any more for Canada (or anywhere else), we’ll add to the list!

    7. Thanks for the info. Too bad that companies like MAC, Bobbi Brown and a few others only think of their market for MUAS in the UK. What about the rest of us that live in other parts of Europe like Switzerland, Austria etc. Different requirements for us, why? Thank you

      1. Hi Dee, I know – it is all very one-sided. We have no idea why they only give a discount to just one or two places out of all the countries where they sell. If we learn of any discounts for anywhere else, we will add them to the list. Thanks for commenting.

      2. I find the USA discounts most frustrating especially as the makeup is so much cheaper there and they have so many more vouchers, offers and discounts than we do in the UK! Though mac and other companies offer discounts it is usually only in freestanding stores and not available online, seeing as there are very few of these stores outside of London the discount is hard to use

        1. Hi Sophie – we totally agree. Makeup is so much cheaper in the US. The SFX palettes are half the price over there! The way some discounts are offered in the UK can make it difficult to actually enjoy, or pointless for non-Londoners to apply. Shame ?

        2. Dear Dee,you can get 40% of at MAC cosmetic in Europe of Course.I am from Germany,and have their membercard,you should go to the shop and ask them.
