I think the jury is still out as to how great their products are...but hey.

I love their primer but I emailed them asking about their pro discount in Aus and they never replied sad

Screenface do a teensy 10% off their own products.

I don't bother with discounts anymore...

Really??

I'd never say no to 40% off a $100 palette!

I don't have a lot of faith in their website to be honest. You have to go to the store and ask for an application form, then fax it off.

Thank you sooooo much femme artistry…

Sally’s Beauty….  http://www.sallybeauty.com/

No membership fee if you’re licensed…  discounts on already amazingly cost effective prices… I use them for many of my consumables…

OK the store ambience isn’t Sephora but the prices are absolutely the lowest I’ve found for the same products…

God Bless…

Ok this is probably a silly question but.... From that list of companies I know MAC has actual retail stores that you can go to and use your pro card to receive your pro discount. On that list are there any other companies where you can go into an actual store and receive your discount? or do you have to do all orders on line??

I know you can go to the MUFE and Temptu store in NYC and receive the pro discount there.  MUFE gives you a card, but you dont really need to show it to them because they have your info in their data so they just look you up.

I'm still waiting on some from like a month ago, even sent follow up emails and got no response.

I contacted Inglot and they do offer a discount program for professional make up artists but you need to go to their store. They offer a discount once you show them your creditials.

Hope this helps

To MUA's in Canada, you can now use your MUFE discount at Bay stores that carry MUFE. If you don't already have your discount card, you can apply via the Bay MUFE counter.
Update 2012: Most MUA's in Canada probably already know this but, unfortunately MUFE is no longer sold at The Bay so the only way to get the pro discount is to order online or by phone direct from MUFE.

www.camerareadycosmetics.com has remained as always, free shipping with some items  discounted to pros with pro log in.

Having an online portfolio at MM is all you need to get a pro account at CRCMakeup, we don't take facebook and myspace accounts but an industry site like MM is fine

I believe that is true. (Yeah I know this is from 4 months ago, but I just saw it so better late than never) I don't know how to sign up, but I know a couple other artists who use a lot of their product.  The only thing is the discounted items are all marked as "samples" very clearly. 

One more to add...www.tartecosmetics.com.  40% for artists and 20% for models.
