Who Qualifies for UD Pro?
UD Pro is open to makeup artists who currently generate income from artistry jobs, or students enrolled in a school of makeup artistry. And, although the following jobs are fabulous, they currently do not qualify for our program: aesthetician, hair stylist, nail technician, actor, model, dancer, fashion stylist, costume designer, photographer, or other jobs tangentially related to the beauty industry. UD Pro is available to US residents only, but we hope to expand soon!

I wonder if they consider cosmetology license the same thing as a makeup artist certification from a certified makeup artistry school.

I am a licensed cosmetologist. do I just need to contact these companies with a photo of my license to apply for the discounts? that would be so exciting to get a lower price :-)

Most companies will not accept cosmetology licenses as proof of being a professional makeup artist. Others may give only a 10% to 30% discount instead of a larger discount (but hey, it's still a discount). Look at the requirements each company sets for applying for their pro cards/discounts.

I was just wondering if you posted an updated link? or if you just continued to update this post as you got more information on companies and their discounts because I saw that you posted this in 2010..
