| - MAC PRO Service unparalleled in the industry. Unique educational opportunities. The full line of more than 1,000 artist-friendly products, along with a staff that truly understands the needs of the artist community.
I have a few MAC pro products. I found out at the Stonestown Galleria Mall San Francisco. One of the Makeup artists was envious of the colors.
It only costs $35.00 to become a MAC Pro consumer.
This store is the bomb. Being in Las Vegas, this store attracts the Cream of the Crop in M*A*C Make-up Artists. You can play with the products just like any store.... The best part is there are alot of artists at this location so you can always ask for help. There are events, classes,parties and demostrations. This is a great place to establish one's self as a makeup artist.
Here is some background on MAC:
Make-up Art Cosmetics, better known to most as M.A.C, is a brand of cosmetics sold internationally, that originally became famous through word-of-mouth endorsements by professional makeup artists, models and celebrities. OWNED BY ESTEE LAUDER.
The company has become synonymous with glamour due to its ever-growing presence in the fashion industry, continued use of celebrity endorsements and commitment to cruelty-free products and universal diversity. MAC likes black people. hahaha
In 1985, MAC was established in Toronto, Canada by founders Frank Toskan and Frank Angelo. Toskan was a make-up artist and photographer, while Angelo was an owner of a chain of hair salons. Both recognized the missing element of a versatile and reliable cosmetic to be used in fashion photography. The intense lighting conditions often employed created conditions under which conventional makeup either photographed badly or didn't hold up, so the two set out to create a line that would hold up to these types of challenges. They envisioned a makeup company that would be for All ages, all races, all sexes. This later became the company motto.
Acquisition by Estee Lauder
The Estee Lauder Companies, who acquired controlling interest in MAC in 1994, finished their acquisition of the company in 1998 [7]. One year prior to the acquisition, original founder Frank Angelo passed away in 1997 due to complications during surgery. Shortly following the buy-out, Frank Toskan left the company to found another AIDS Charity,[3] with brother-in-law and original M.A.C Chemist.[4] The M.A.C AIDS Fund has been continued by the new owners. Money for the fund is raised by the sale of Viva Glam products (currently available in six lipstick colors and two glosses). 100% of the sale price of Viva Glam products is donated to help men, women and children living with HIV and AIDS. Since its inception in 1994 to the present date, the fund has raised over $100 million US Dollars.
The M.A.C PRO Program is provided to professionals in the industry. An annual fee must be paid for this service. The program provides professional support, special pro-only benefits and discounts. Make-up artists receive a 40% discount. Aestheticians, Cosmetologists, Hairstylists, Fashion Stylists, Nail Technicians, Costume Designers, Models, On-Air Talent/Performers, and Photographers receive a 30% discount. International discounts may vary.
I was able to buy the Playboy Pink Collection here. I am heading back in 2008. I hope I discover something new.
