it's all in the lighting to make them appear lighter or darker. they don't advertise stuff that they don't carry.
[/quote] I look at the poster and think "oh I like the look of that foundation and the model is the same colouring as me so I will give it a go" but then I go to the counter and they don't have a shade that matches the one on the model cause all of the shades of foundation are darker- that is advertising something they don't sell in my opinion I am aware that photos are edited and photoshopped to erase imperfections but if they want to have pale skin in the adverts then they should create lighter shades of foundation rather than manipulate the lighting

We seriously need Mac to make NC5 and NC10 shades, and of course those in NW too. They are needed!
Amen to that!!

I doubt they will ever do that. There is simply no viable market for it, especially as foundations last so long and customers usually shop around and do not repurchase in the hope of finding an even better product. The F&B in White is a great mixing medium to lighten any foundation. Yes, it is a pain to mix up foundations, but you will probably end up with a better customized product than buying a foundation that is in stock. On the plus side, just celebrate your unique skintone, aka ultra porcelain beauty.

yea, it's really annoying. That's why I don't pay attention to promo pictures anymore, and wait for swatches. Looking at these promo pictures, there are lots of shades for darker ladies, but it probably won't be true when we see the actual line.

When I worked for MAC I could only use Studio Fix powder because the liquids weren't light enough for me. After about the third Update where yet another foundation didn't match me, I asked the trainer and the trainer's boss who was sitting in on my training. They said that Karen Buglisi made the decision on them not carrying really light shades outside the pro at some point because "no one is pale anymore," with all the various sunless tan options on the market. I took a lot of offense to that because just because Karen is tanned within an inch of her life (along with at least five of the FEDs) doesn't mean that there are not pale people out there.
yeah that is kinda silly. of course there are pale people out there! i am happy being pale too!

I quite like my pale skin and would love to find a foundation that matches my skin, gives me good coverage but doesn't cake and is good for my oily aging skin. Now that isn't asking for much is it

me! as long as they have a shade that matches me... I'm not switching foundations to something that I have to mix the color myself unless it's amazing.

I know I had a ton of clients who either had to wear Studio Fix powder or who jumped ship over to MUFE to find the pale shades they needed.
Studio Fix fluid was the one that really broke my heart because I loved the coverage. I could only wear the NW15 for two weeks in August, though, and then it was back to looking like an Oompa Loompa. BAH!

Where do you buy it? At pro? At the mo I use face and body White mixed with studio sculpt or f&b but I have been road testing Bobbi brown skin lately cause Bb do very light shades....So there may be a Market for it?

I will definitely be trying this one out. I use Studio Sculpt or Studio Fix fluid now, and love them both. I am a foundation junkie though, so I am always on the lookout for new products. I also will be getting the 193 bush.
