I was at the MAC store the other day and one of the MAs put the studio sculpt on me. I really dislike it. Its really cakey and thick and set right into the lines on my face. It was just gross lol. Not a fan!

i wonder if this collection is releasing internationally??

yeah, i would love to know will this launched internationally?

nevermind LOL i should read this first

Is this at all comparable to the discontinued Studio Finish Matte Foundation in the same packaging? That had a "whipped" feel too.

I really haven't tried that one, to be honest, so I can't say!

How much is this going to retail for?

$16.50 for the concealer, $28 for the foundation.

Is it actually better than the studio fix? And does anyone know how much the foundation costs?

These will be permanent, Domi!

I had to go to 3 MAC counters to get properly matched!! Make sure you ask an experienced MA not just a sales clerk to help you.

How do you figure out what skin type u are, i.e. NC15 NW45 or whatever? I'm an EXTREMELY pale redhead with dry skin.

The best way is to go to the counter and get color matched!

My review on Studio Sculpt Foundation & Concealer thanks to temptalia, she got me super interested!!

I love my Studio Fix Fluid, but I'm curious about this. Thank goodness it comes in NW/NC 15. They keep discontinuing those shades. What's a pale Canadian girl to do, otherwise?

Does anyone know what MAC plans on replacing Select Tint with? Or are they just not doing a tinted moisturizer again?

Select Tint is going PRO!

I love the packaging - concealer in a fluidline pot, yum!

I want the brushes,I cant stop buying them!

Brush 191 is already a sold at mac stores, and counters. The 195 is the a new brush though.

if they blend well, i wonder how the concealers would work as a contour.

I can't wait to try the concealers. Sounds like fluidline for the face YAY!

It would be nice if the new things coming out on the 5th will be available at the HK unvailing party on the 3rd...I find it annoying to drive 40 min on the 3rd, only to have to go down two days later to see another new release :( That said, I am curious about this, its nice to see MAC doing NC and NW 15s...since not all their foundation colors come in NC/NW15....which is me.

Tell me about it, Tanya :( I'd rather not go TWICE in two days.

The concealers look like a good grab and I should start using it since I never do but Studio Fix Fluid works fine just for me. Might get that foundation brush though.

Im very interested in this new line! can't wait for feb.5

how big is the prep and prime? i used to use the one in the blk container it didnt do too much im excited!! =D

The prep & prime is believe to be the same, just used special for this promo.

It's the same size as the normal Prep & Prime Skin, I believe!

is this perm? for the foundation, do you know if it's heavy or wearable for every day??

I don't know if it's perm, but I want to say it will be. It's gel-based -- probably similar to Armani's Face Fabric.

Can't wait to try this out! And new brush weeeeeee :D

I'm really interested in this collection! I love it when companies put more focus into excellent (hopefully) basic products and less on pumping out colour collection after colour collection!

Love the concealer in little pots!

OMG, me too! I like the idea of it in a pot and not a tube.

if the foundation is really for dry skin, i'll pass. but gel concealers, hmmm, i might try that out. i don't really like the concealers from mac because the creams were too dry or the liquid ones were too sheer. i'm hoping the gel ones will be concentrated yet easy to apply.

The foundations were created for all skin types. The coverage is intended to give a flawless coverage without being heavy looking as Studio fix. The foundation is buildable from sheer to full.It makes the skin seem glowly verses dry.

Considering that the word "sculpt" is in the name of this collection, I'm surprised they haven't brought out the Shape and Sculpt powders again (or whatever they're called). I've been interested in those lately (after they came out last time, unfortunately), so it'd be nice if I didn't have to place a PRO order when I decide I want them.

I'm a bit surprised, too, actually!

I'm VERY excited for this collection. I can never get enough concealers and foundations...

I've heard that the foundation is best for dry, sensitive skin, so I will pass on that one. But a gel concealer sounds interesting!

bummer! I was kinda looking forwarding to trying this foundation. The concealer looks awesome though. Hopefully it'll work for all skin types.

They said it's good for all skin types, especially if you have very sensitive skin.

i am interested. i will go check this out when it comes out and talk to the MUA to see if it would work for my oily acne prone skin.
