I don’t know an exact date right now, but I do know it will be released in the first 3 months of next year. March or April is the Australian release month, so possible Feb/March for North America. From what I understand it is going to be a large collection! Can’t wait!

It’s interesting to see what MAC will offer, esp. to compete with other established brands such as bareMinerals and Loreal’s Bare Naturales
Can’t wait to try it out

It’s about time that MAC give the go ahead on a establishing a real mineral makeup foundation/line. A couple years ago MAC was in the process of a mineral makeup line but did a skip and dip and decided to do a “mineralized” skinfinish line instead. I bought the mineralized skinfinish powder , it’s okay. On my skintone it really shows up in the sun and the powder acts more like a bronzer than finishing powder. Nevertheless, I will be looking forward to the mineral foundation and more than likely will buy as well. I can count on MAC to have a wide variety of colors to try than just a selected few.

I think a mineral foundation from Mac would be great! But did anyone else notice that it is comming out as “A Limited Edition”? If that is the case as soon as the product sells out it is gone for good!
