I was told the foundation is permanent, so you're good! I'm excited to put all these products (and that gorgeous brush) to use tomorrow!!

I am tempted to order the new foundation b/c it is supposed to provide more coverage & staying power than the original. I like the original traceless when I first apply it, but it seems to melt/wear off throughout the day. I will try to be good, however, and use up foundations that I already have first.

Where did you get the new products?

What do you guys think of the brushes? I've been looking at the big powder brush and a few eye brushes. I don't have many Tom Ford products tbh. I have the brow pencil which I love and I had the blush in Love Lust but felt the staying power was weak and am giving it away. I am interested in the brushes though

Bloomingdale's in Soho? I was just there a week ago and they told me the end of August. Maybe they meant the Color Collection. Thanks.Both Saks and Bloomingdales has them in store

Yep, it's the Bloomingdales in Soho. To be fair, when I got the products Saturday, the MUA told me they had gotten them just 2 days before, so looks like they got it earlier than expected. They could've been talking about the color collection though, as SAKS also said late August/early September for that release.

I was told that the 3 lightest shades are: Cream (lightest), Rosewood, and Buff. I was also told that the shade names of the old foundation and new product do not necessarily correspond. Shade X in one may not be the same color as Shade X in the other.
I don't know the complete list of shades. I tend to be within the lighter range, so that was the info shared with me.

Agreed; the shades aren't the same, at least not for me in the darker range. Warm Almond is lighter in the new formulation than the former. I can only speak on behalf of the darker shades, though.

Thank you ladies. Looking forward to hearing how people like the foundation and the concealers. On Nordstrom the lightest shade in the new foundation (Cream) looks darker than the lightest in the old one (Alabaster), but it could just be their swatches.

The brushes are insanely luxurious. The only one that I can't rave about is the shade & illuminate brush (04).
It does the job but it's nothing special, nor is it very versatile. On the other hand, the bronzer (05), cream
foundation (02) & cheek (06) brushes are AMAZING! I have not yet tried any of the TF eye brushes.

I'm happy with my YSL foundation & éclat pen so I'm not interested in the Tom Ford ones.

So, I'm sad to say that I don't think I'll be keeping either base product! Not because they aren't good; the foundation has such a soft, skin satin matte finish that is incredibly natural and flattering. However, I'm between colors due to my tan (Warm Almond in this formula would work in the winter, whereas Chestnut has a cool/neutral undertone that makes my skin look slightly off/gray.) In regards to the concealer (I bought DEEP), it has a nice creamy texture that isn't too emollient, nor is it drying... however, the color is too warm/yellow for the purpose I intended on using it for (subtle under-eye highligting/brightening and brightening other areas of the face). It's more yellow/beige and darker than my HG concealer, NARS Amande and though the SA had actually recommended I get the medium deep, it was too bright for my liking. Only item I'm really LOVING is that cream foundation brush, lol.
Question about cream foundation brush (02): For those using it for liquid foundations, do you have any tips/tricks? I love how it buffs the product out but I feel as though it's natural hair is absorbing a lot of it?

Sorry those items didn't quite work out for you!
I put only small amounts of foundation on the brush and stipple (fast pats) and swirl/buff the product. The brush
is pretty dense and absorbent which is why I use only small amounts of foundation at a time.

Okay curiosity has got the best of me, so I'm going to go have my face done with the new foundation and I'll check out the concealer pen too.
Update: The foundation is amazing! I have a perfect match even better than my YSL and I didn't even think that was possible, so I'm certainly going to get the foundation. The concealer pen didn't do anything for me, I'll stick with Nars creamy concealer for my correcting needs.
