• Evidence of an established booking platform or professional business listing

At least one piece of professional evidence should have been issued or active within the previous 12 months.

Business cards may be included as supporting evidence but will not be accepted as proof of professional status on their own.

All student applicants must provide:

• Valid photographic ID, such as a passport or driving licence
• Details of the college or recognised makeup school they are attending
• A screenshot of their course acceptance or enrolment email
• A dated letter from the college confirming their enrolment, course and study dates
• An active makeup-focused Instagram handle

All documents must clearly show the applicant’s name, course provider and current study dates. MOB & Ko reserves the right to contact the training provider to verify enrolment where necessary.

Professional applicants may submit an active makeup artistry Instagram account as one form of supporting evidence. The account must clearly demonstrate consistent client, commercial or industry work. A personal account containing occasional makeup images may not be sufficient.

Student applicants are required to provide their active makeup-focused Instagram handle as part of their application.

Professional applicants must provide at least one supporting document issued or active within the previous 12 months.

Student documents must confirm current enrolment on an eligible makeup artistry course and include the relevant study dates.

If you’re unable to provide the required documents or are unsure whether your evidence will be accepted, please email us at info@mobandko.com.

Our team will be happy to advise whether alternative evidence can be considered, although approval cannot be guaranteed.

Once you have completed your course and received your qualification, you can apply to move from Student to Professional Membership.

You will need to provide evidence of your completed qualification and any additional professional evidence requested by the MOB & Ko team. Once approved, your membership discount will increase from 30% to 35%.

No. All applications are reviewed individually, and submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance. MOB & Ko reserves the right to request further evidence, decline an application or withdraw membership where eligibility requirements are not met.
