Nars currently offer a Pro-Card for 'creative professionals' to give a certain amount of discount based on the level of experience. This Pro-Card also allows for the holder to gain priority access to new product launches and invitations to Pro only events. Unfortunately this card is only available in the USA. Many companies like Nars offer a pro card to help out those in the industry. The scheme gives discount which makes the products more affordable, as a make-up artist will tend to use more of the product more often. It's a shame Nars do not offer the card worldwide as it would be something very helpful!
In order to receive the card you have to fulfill a list of requirements for Nars to look over and approve before receiving the card.
