A lot of brushes are gone from the MAC site...109, 116, 217, 214 21, 219 etc. They do not even show coming soon or sold out. They are just gone.

Never mind. Just realized MAC is apparently moving to all synthetic brushes so they are discontinuing all their brushes and then bringing them back out as synthetic versions. They are already up on MAC Australia's site in the synthetic version. Numbers are the same but they have added an S for synthetic. So MAC 219 is now MAC 219S and is synthetic not goat hair.

The 217 is still available at Nordstrom and I really want to buy them out lol...honestly it feels like too much change. MAC is a timeless brand partially because it has reliable products. If they keep discontinuing/changing cult favorites, it takes their reliability away.

Is there a thread on synthetic vs natural hair MAC brushes? I can't get the hang out of searching on this forum at all.

I bought backups of a lot of my fav MAC brushes and some that I've wanted to try for ages before they are totally gone. I don't have CCOs here in Canada, so I am SOL if I can't find them online/instore.

I have been wondering about Studio Tech in Americas as well. I've been a fan for more than a decade and wear it on TV. I noticed that on the foundation page it's been buried to the bottom. ALSO, the Select Sheer pressed powder has the majority of the shades gone, but no triangle of death to indicate it's gone. Guess it's time for me to finally find another foundation...

Guess I missed my chance with Freckletone.
I can't believe this has been discontinued, I'm seriously sad. This shade is perfect on my super warm sort of olivey NC20/25 skin, it's been my signature shade for at least a decade. I just...can't. But, I have been using Rimmel Moisture Renew 700 Nude Delight as a dupe for the last few years to save some $$$. I still used Freckletone though as well.

It's not the same, it has a more thick consistency (I use a bit less than I would Freckletone), it has the same amount of shine and the shade is so similar. Nothing is exactly like Freckletone though, it was perfect. :( I found this blog post comparing them Affordable M.A.C Freckletone Lipstick Dupe: Rimmel London's Nude Delight Moisture Renew Lipstick •
