Didn't Estee Lauder have something similar a few years ago? I used to get my brows done at the EL brow bar at Selfridges and it was free when you purchased a product of/over 15 quid, so I ended up buying quite a few products.
I also recall some drugstore brands (was it Covergirl?) that claimed to adapt to one's complexion. I think the clue is that the product is rather sheer, where it is easier to match different skintones. E.g. I think most people can wear at least two different shades of F&B without noticing a big difference (unless you are on one or the other end of the shade spectrum). Where these products failed in the past is to accommodate complexions that have strong undertones. While it is seemingly consumer-friendly to offer less shades (especially for those who are inexperienced in what they are looking for), it's hard for a foundation to match both NC and NW complexions.
I am, however, still full of anticipation but most likely, I will stick with F&B and only buy the 193. I'm curious to find out how it looks like. Maybe it's similar to the 191 but with an angle.

hopefully not the 190 angled :S hate that one too dense and hard to clean and it takes away all your product! Id love 191 to be larger tho

the 193 looks just like the 190 but with an angle and yes it would 1.0 for those super light people
hope this helps

Thanks for the chart
I've never found a MAC foundation that works for me. Hopefully this will be the one.

Do you think 1.0 could work for you? There is always F&B in White to lighten it up if you have to do that.

I wonder why this foundation cost more than the others? Hmm hopefully this brings more product and a built in pump packaging (like Prolong wear.) Can't wait to see the promo pics. Hopefully I will get excited for it. Let's see.
it's because it's more intelligent than the other foundations! hee hee!
