I thought I read somewhere that the blushes were definitely LE, but that the foundations would be permanent in MAC stores (but still LE at counters). I could be dreaming that, but I'm pretty sure I heard it somewhere.

Just as the others have said, they are LE only at MAC Counters, the MAC Stores and Pro Stores they are a permanent foundation.

However the blushes ARE LE at stores and counters.

So now that I know they are permanent...
Would it be a good idea to get them and include them in my kit as opposed to trying to collect every single foundation color? Not to mention, I'm too brain defecit to mix up foundation shades, and I end up wasting product when I try to mix....

they are indeed permanent at the MAC freestanding stores and pro stores. not MAC counters within larger department stores.

i really disliked the mists, though. i'll probably end up returning them, when i have the time.

Well it depends on what type of makeup you do... Studio Mist is a very sheer foundation, I have had luck building it a little by stippling with the 187 brush, but it is still at BEST sheer to medium coverage. And it is also a very natural satin finish which means it has a little bit of a sheen to it.

If you think you can get use out of it then yep!

Well, most of the time, the person that I'm working with has their own foundation anyway, but sometimes they don't, and since I can build it to a medium coverage (i don't really ever get clients that need or want full coverage foundation, except for weddings, but they always have their own make up anyway) then it might be a good way for me to start a collection of foundations. I use a stippling brush for foundation on everybody anyway.

Hmmm...it would save me money buying the 6 of these instead of trying to buy like 12 different shades to mix....hmmmmmmm

I wouldn't buy 12 foundations to mix...you only need 3 of each shade range tops! One Light, one Medium, and one Darker of each NC and NW.

i'm also not good at mixing lol i end up wasting a lot of product when i try to.

i think i'll grab a few of the studio mists in light/medium colors, cuz I have plenty of foundations between my mother, my sister, and myself for the medium-darker range. my sister is NC30, my mom is NC45 and I'm NC50/NW45.

The new mist foundations totally rock.

Hey all!!!!!

So I've always been dying to try a spray foundation because it seems like such a cool concept, and was THRILLED to pieces that MAC came out with it!!!!!!!!!!! I also just recently bought the 187 brush and wonder HOW THE HECK ive been living without it!! ITs amazing!!!!!!!!! and on that note I will say the 187 brush + Studio Mist = the answers to all my prayers

!!! The results are AMAZING!! I used it with the normal foundation brush when I first got it, and the results were good, just seemed like the brush soaked up all the foundation which didn't allow it to spread. So, if you have average skin like me, some splotchy parts, not uniformly colored, etc etc, the studio mist is perfect. I don't think its as sheer as pple say, it just seems like that because it comes on soo lightly because it is so concentrated - don't over apply it!! 1 big spray or 2 medium ones will do. Perfect for everyday! Doesnt feel like you're wearing a thing!!!! I cant say enough about this product!! So for all the skeptics, DEFINATELY try it!!!!!!!! and please do let me know what you think about it!!!!!!
