It retails for $31 US/ $38 CAD and will be sold anywhere MAC Cosmetics is available. You can see the foundation in action, I reviewed it on my YouTube Channel, I did a wear test on my oily skin! See my review of the Next to Nothing Pressed Powder here. 

The packaging is very similar to other MAC foundations, you get just above the average size at 1.2 fl oz. It is is a frosted glass bottle, with a pump top that locks.

"Next to Nothing Face Colour's nourishing ingredients and opalescent microspheres bring out skin's luminosity whether worn under makeup or alone." The recommendation for application is a sponge or synthetic brush to moisturize and protect the skin while diminishing imperfections.

Unlike the majority of MACs line, this follows a different shade range naming convention. There are 9 shades in the range which is quite small in comparison to the majority of MAC products. The shades available are listed below. That being said it does not claim to be a typical foundation or a foundation at all for that matter.

MAC Next to Nothing Face Color Shades: 
MAC Next to Nothing Light - pale ivory
MAC Next to Nothing Light Plus - light beige
MAC Next to Nothing Medium - warm beige
MAC Next to Nothing Medium Plus - light tan beige
MAC Next to Nothing Medium Dark - caramel beige
MAC Next to Nothing Medium Deep - rich golden tan
MAC Next to Nothing Dark - deep caramel
MAC Next to Nothing Dark Plus - neutral tan beige
MAC Next to Nothing Dark Deep - rich golden bronze

On first impression, I really really enjoy the Next to Nothing Face Color. However, it doesn't really match up to all of the claims .. but that actually works in my favour. I have oily skin so the claims of radiance scared me a little but it did not melt off my face as expected. It also has a very buildable formula. It's recommended you use with a sponge or synthetic brush on dry skin. I was easily able to blend and build to a medium coverage with a dense foundation brush and the Next to Nothing Powder added even more coverage. It still looked light on my skin with a pretty natural matte finish. Because the formula is not as sheer as expected I think it should have more shades. I'm excited to use this for an even lighter coverage with a sponge. I've been loving a "No Makeup Makeup" look lately.
