What is the formula of these? Is it something we already have or something new?

I think I might get the lightest one (although NW10 would give me really white circles - better mix with NW20) but not before February (one expensive month in sight...

).

I think you're right. I was planning on getting one of these but I think I'm going to give it a pass. I'm not going to buy two and have to blend shades. Too bad - I like the concept.

These palettes are really designed for professionals working in the industry on a wide range of complexions. That's the reason why you have NC and NW shades in one palette.

I'm getting two for my professional kit, but for personal use, I'll just stick to my Select Cover as it works well for me. In fact, I don't need more than one or two shades for personal use, but for stage/character make up, deeper and lighter shades (especially for contouring) will be useful.

It's wonderful to see so many new shades of Studio Fix.

Studio Fix-

NW 10, 13, 18, 22, 33, 44, 46, 48, 58
C 3.5, 4,5, 5, 5.5

Studio Fix Fluid-

NW 10, 13
C 3.5, 4.5, 5, 5.5

I hope that other foundations will also be extended as I am not a fan of SF in particular.

Woohoo! i can't wait for this one! New NW shades...i saw at the CCO some time back how Studio had extra NW even numbers that i have never saw before which i am excited about bc i don't think i am the odd number NW that was buying...hence why i just stopped and got the Matchmaster. but i can't wait to try this!

I just snatched up a NW22 and I am going to give it a try (at the CCO so it is probably the old formula) but I was wanting a darker shade to mix in with my really, really light shades like Matchmaster 1.0 since it is just a little too chalky to be just right (although it will be perfect in about 6 weeks I think)

Yes, some of those were LE in the past. :)

I'm excited for these! I want to buy 1 or 2. How do I order these? Do I have to call a mac store and ask them to ship it to me? Or do I just call the pro line?

A lot of the lighter NW shades of several products seem to pop up at CCO's now. I recently snatched up a few of the the Select Sheer powders. The lightest shade I got was NW5 (yes NW5). I love how these are truly a perfect match for pale NW complexions.

that's too bad...i was hoping with the nc and nw shades + colour correctors, they might make them useful for everybody! i use nc on most of my face, but nw and colour correctors on areas with pigmentation issues, so i would have loved to have it all in one palette! i suppose i could get a small empty lip palette and fill it with these products myself....

You can always buy the individual pots. Are you usually using the Studio Finish concealer?

I'm excited to stock my PRO kit with these palettes. It'll make things a lot easier when I'm working with clients as I always end up needing to mix at least 2 shades to get the right fit.
For everyday use however I will probably stick with my Select Cover Up.
