Australis Fresh and Flawless Pressed Powder

This face powder is a wee stunner, cheap as chips and does the job! I have been using this for many years and find it to be the perfect powder for my combination skin. It is simply packaged in a round black plastic compact and comes with a sponge. I discard this in favour of a kabuki brush to apply the product as it gives a more even and light finish.

After applying my foundation, I simply dust the powder over my face and this helps to set my makeup and leaves a nice even matte finish. I take it with me and touch up any oily breakthrough throughout the day. It is really effective and easy to use.

The texture is light and soft giving a flawless finish. I especially like that it doesn't make my skin look cakey when I touch up.

I could quite easily compare this to much more expensive powders like the lovely Double Wear by Estee Lauder. It is a perfect dupe and at a 1/4 of the price!!

I definitely recommend this to everyone, it comes and 3 shades and tends to not add too much colour to your base. It's affordable and does exactly what it says....a winner for me!!

Can't rave enough about this product Better than the mac powder everyone compares it too but a quarter of the price.

Amazing coverage amazing formula amazing price Doesn't cake up or dry out your skin doesn't crease anywhere on my face, I have dry to normal skin My sister also uses this and she has oily acne prone skin and it's amazing on her too

Not that much of a fan of the new packaging they recently brought out I think I like the old packaging better but will still continue to purchase

Have just started using this and its amazing! The best powder i have used to date!, amazing coverage, not too cakey and stays on all day! Use it everyday :)

I love this make-up, it does what it says it should and is very light with awesome coverage, i have tried a hundred different powders and i rate this as the best i now don't even bother using anything else, it really covers nicely, only fault i have found is it starts to look a bit different when you are getting to the end of it but when its only $20.50 NZD from farmers who cares

I love this powder . It's makes my makeup stay on even better all day without looking cakey :) it's no to powdery which is great . It's very very similar if not better than my MAC powder and for the price why not buy this instead :)

YES! I've been using this powder since I was about 15 and have tried many different powders over the years (Maybeline, MAC, L'Oreal and so on) but always repurchase this once. Started using it when I had teenage oily skin and now I have combination/slightly sensitive skin. So that sums up how much I love it!

I like the packaging, it's simple. They've changed it a few times and it's always nice. I apply it with a powder brush and use the thick sponge that it comes with for my nose. It sets my foundation perfectly and blends really nicely so it doesn't leave me with a super powdery look, if that's what you're after then you can apply it thicker and that looks awesome as well.

A few times I've worn it on it's own and it looks alright but my skin can get quite dry at times and it doesn't work out quite that well on it's own when you have dry skin.

I wouldn't say that it stays on for a super long time but it's easy to pop in your bag and reapply.

There's three colour options, I have only ever used the natural colour and even though I am quite pale it works great for me. My friend who is atleast 2 shades darker than me also uses the natural colour and it works for her too.

It is definitely worth trying or even just to have in your bag to fix up your makeup, it's a great price and lasts quite a while.

I've tried so many powders, and this is the only one I've found which ticks all the boxes. Long lasting, natural yet strong coverage, affordable, a good shade, and to top it all off, the compact lasts much longer as you don't need as many applications to get the flawless look. I hate the idea of wearing too much make up, and am often put off from products because they result in a "heavy made up" look. Not the case with Australis. I had a friend borrow it before our long day and night of being bridesmaids. At the end of the event, after over 12 hours of wear, she begged me for the name so she could buy it herself!

Australis products are also animal cruelty free, which is important.

I heard that this was a dupe for the mac studio fix powder and I just had to try it! I bought mine from K mart and it was like $20 I think? Which is amazing for what you get. This product is the best thing that has ever happened ever. It has great coverage and never looks cakey. I think the only bad thing about this product is that it only comes in a few shades, but thank god one of them suits me just fine! I use this with my elf powder brush and it gives great coverage. I use it either by itself or over a liquid foundation. I've gone through 2 of these so far and its been ages since I first bought it. I will never not use this!

I purchased this after hearing so many good things about this product and it being named as a dupe for MAC's Studio Fix Plus Powder.

The packaging of this powder is nothing special and unfortunately it doesn't have a mirror inside the lid for quick touch ups (they redesigned the compact and it is now under the powder, which is a bit annoying to use, having to flick back and forth between dabbing the powder and looking in the mirror). The powder itself is very finely milled and so smooth on the skin. This can be applied alone and still give light-medium coverage or as a setting powder over foundation. I have used it both ways (more often as a setting powder) and love the flawless finish it gives either way I use it. This powder gives a matte look to the skin, but, doesn't look powdery or unnatural and keeps me shine free for a good few hours before a touch up is needed.

I have fair skin and purchased the lightest of the three shades (unfortunately for darker skin tones it only comes in three fairly light shades).

Overall, this powder is a must have for the price and something I will certainly repurchase.

Tips: Apply with a kabuki brush for an even coverage using less product.

I always used to use translucent powders to set my makeup, as every other coloured powder would turn my face orange no matter how light the shade was. I saw Brittney Lee Saunders rave about this powder and thought I would give it a try, I got the lightest shade (natural? I think) and it is perfect. Sets my foundation and doesn't make me look orange! Just fresh and flawless!! Haha. But seriously, this is the best powder, I am almost out of my original compact and will be buying another one.
