3I want to train as a M·A·C Makeup Artist. Can you recommend a place where I can train? Is there a course run by M·A·C?

At this time, M·A·C does not offer makeup artistry certification and does not operate a school or offer courses. We have the M·A·C Pro Student program for individuals who attend a school or institute of learning which has undergone an approval process by our Artist Relations Department. To see a full list of our Eligible Schools please click here. As a benefit of M·A·C Pro and M·A·C Pro Student Membership we offer Master Classes (generally 2-hour seminars on a specific aspect of makeup) in M·A·C and M·A·C Pro stores.

4Does being a part of M·A·C Pro help me qualify for a position to work at a M·A·C store or counter?

Thank you for your interest in M·A·C Pro. We are always in search of bright, energetic individuals to represent us. While M·A·C does offer advanced classes for professional artists in select cities in North America, we do not have anything of this sort for aspiring artists just starting out. Membership in M·A·C Pro is not qualification for a position at a M·A·C store or counter. For a Makeup Artist position within a department or specialty store that carries M·A·C Pro, please inquire with the Human Resources Director of the store and indicate your preference to work at the M·A·C counter. For a Makeup Artist position in a M·A·C store, please inquire with the Store Manager directly. To find address and phone number information for the counters in your area, go to Find Stores.

5I want to sell M·A·C products. What should I do?

While we appreciate your interest in selling M·A·C products, our products are distributed for sale only at our authorized retail store accounts, the majority of which are located in major department stores or international perfumeries. While there are other points of sale, we are not seeking to expand our distribution network at this time and we do not offer franchises.
