God knows the average home make-up user seems to treat product information and application recommendations like an optional extra. To launch a product like this successfully is going to require a hell of a lot of staff education and consumer information, otherwise I see this going down in a giant red-hot ball of flames. Great idea for a product, especially if the finish is what it's talked up to be, but maybe hold back on the consumer market for a while until R&D comes up with something a bit more simple and foolproof.

lol, that is the only part that scares me Lara! It gets pretty crazy in my MAC Store so the thought of beating a customer to the foundation bottle BEFORE they spray it all over their face is a scary thought!

We have a big staff, but it still gets out of control sometimes and it scares me... I think our staff is a pretty knowledgeable one on its own, most of our artists have worked for MAC for YEARS, but we'll all brush up on our lingo for the product.

It really isn't hard to use at all...and honestly, Sally Hansen make a foundation like this, and that is sold at freakin' Wal Mart, you can't get more consumer than that... Too other companies have done products like this...ERA to name one.

so will this be anything like the dior spray one?

This sounds awesome - I'm anxious to try it out. It sort of reminds me of the spray foundation they're always using on What Not To Wear...

That is ERA foundation... You can get it at Sephora.com, I haven't tried it but I would love to compare it to the Studio Mist foundation! I am in LOVE with it, so I wonder how ERA stacks up.

When the 187 brush first came out, I told every MA I know how much I LOVED it, and how I thought MAC should come out with a mini one for eyes

So I am SO excited for this brush!

It is such a fine pigment in the foundation that it has been micronized and the only way to keep it stable is to put it in a aerosol. It has a natural skin finish, more coverage than Select SPF but less than Studio Tech.

Hmmm, sounds almost like an airbrush foundation but without the airbrush machine...very interesting

Honestly, that is pretty much what it is. It offers a sheer to medium coverage, but it doesn't LOOK like coverage if that makes sense... It models itself kind of like skin, which is super cool!

it seems a bit dumb making a foundation which isnt eye or mouth friendly.

what would be the reason for this?

When will the 188 brush come out? Around September do you think? Will it be the same quality as the full size? Do you what the approximate price will be around? I was going to get the full size yesterday actually, good thing I didn't!

do tell !!!!!!!!!! =)

I believe it was going to be around $36 or so, and it is coming out the same time as Studio Mist, it is part of the collection. I think the collection is in the August or Sept IIRC (I don't have my update book handy at the moment).

The quality will be the same as the regular brushes, it IS a regular brush, not a brush set type of brush. It just has a smaller stippling "head" than the 187 brush. It would be like the difference between the 242 and the 252 brushes.

 

[sarzio]

Would you be able to apply it with a sponge like other aerosol foundations too? Or would that be too cakey?

what they probably meant was, when spraying the foundation on it might get IN the eyes and mouth. Which is why you shouldn't spray the fdtn. on and use your hand or a sponge instead?

Thanks! Do you know if the brush is a limited edition ?
