For those of you who don't have the required proof to apply for a MUA discount, I have you covered. Until you have the needed items to apply for discounts you will have to shop around for affordable cosmetics in between time. So I did a little extra research and found some websites that you can benefit from. There are no applications here just plain ole low prices and constant sales.

Now that you know where to go while you are gathering what you'll need to apply for discounts, I'll now list the companies where you can apply once you have your credentials together.
I'm going to try my best to list as many makeup artist discounts and requirements as possible. I will even continue to update this particular post with new discounts as I come across them. That's right here's my list of companies that provide discounts to AMUAs & MUAs.
