Holy grail powder

I love this powder. I can't say this enough. Until I got my essence mousse foundation, this was what I wore on lazy days. I'd go over my entire face and neck with this with a dense kabuki brush which I still do when I'm too lazy for my mousse foundation even! It also has enough coverage on its own when I wear it over primer.

When I'm on my 'less lazy' days, I'll wear this over my Hanskin BB cream which is very thick, super pigmented and quite sticky and this does a fantastic job of setting that and with the BB cream gives super full coverage with only minimal concealer needed.

This is actually the only non-nail polish I have a back up of. I couldn't bear for my not-very-old one to go to waste so I dug it all out, mixed it with alcohol and see the whole thing in the middle.

Once I go through all my powders, I'm going to go and use up another of this again!

10/10 would buy and use again!

fresh and flawless powder

Another purchase from my Melbourne trip and I got two and gave one to my sister. I have been using mine ever since and I've been loving it.

This is my current favourite powder and I haven't even bothered at my other ones. This has beaten my Bourjois Health Balance powder. This sets me makeup so well, it's not cakey and the packaging is great too as it has a mirror at the bottom with a sponge. I don't use the sponge applicator at home and I use a fluffy powder brush instead to set my makeup.

On lazy days, I just put CC cream on and this on top and it gives me a good coverage.

I don't know about the soothing and cooling qualities of this as I haven't really noticed but it does help in creating a flawless face.

A fave

I used this for years & I really liked it. Its really good for coverage over a bb cream or light foundation. I have a lot of freckles and acne scars I like to cover so it is really useful for that. Only problem is it always seems to be sold out when I go to buy it from Farmers so I have started using a Maybelline superstay powder compact instead, which I would say is very similar in consistency

Perfect!

I have been using this for years and I would never use anything else to be honest as it does exactly what it says.it is completely oil free so that's a plus for those of you that have blemish prone skin like me and can't use any products containing oil and other blemish causing ingredients.It is perfect for setting makeup leaving it with an air brushed effect or you can wear alone for a more natural look.Your skin will not look shiny as it leaves a nice matt look about it but not too dull.It will last for ages as you only need a small amount and the price is not too bad.I either but this from Farmers or NZ beauty sites online because quite often they are cheaper.

australisaustralis fresh and flawless powder

I bought this product at my local unichem pharmacy,it comes in shades suitable for most skin types,I use it for extra coverage on top of my usual foundation and to set my foundation..its great for that wee bit more coverage you need and does not look cakey. If I build up my usual foundation to cover acne it can look thick and not natural,but using this powder instead looks natural . I love the compact and I am going to check out other Australia products to review.

Tips: dust over your usual foundation with a powder brush to give a wee bit more coverage and also set your foundation

Amazing & Affordable

The packaging is quite similar to the MAC's studio fix powder apart from the mirror is sitting in the bottom compartment along with the sponge. I actually like how it has a mirror and sponge in the bottom compartment. The compact is a great size and easy to carry in your handbag. I find the compact is not very sturdy, I am really careful not to drop it.

I use this powder every day to set my foundation. It applies very smoothly and literally can set any foundation well. I love the full coverage matte finish. It is also great for setting under-eye concealer. The powder does not have any particular smell. It leaves my skin looking natural throughout the day. I have sensitive skin, it does not cause any breakout or irritate my skin at all.

The coverage is amazing and so is the price! I would buy it over and over again. It is now part of my every day makeup. The compact is so affordable.

Tips: I recommend using a powder brush to apply it, not the sponge it comes with, because the sponge tends to leave my makeup uneven and really caked on.

Dupe for the Mac Studio Fix.

This is definitely the best powder I've ever used. It makes my foundation last all day. It doesn't look cakey or make my skin dry. It looks flawless and also gives a bit of coverage. I always use it on nights out and I never have to touch up, it lasts amazing all night. It makes my skin look so smooth and I will definitely not be trying any new powder anytime soon. It works exactly the same as the Mac Studio Fix powder, but it's way more affordable.

Light Beige

I hadn't tried any of Australis' make-up before and was in need of a new powder when I spotted Australis Fresh & Flawless at my local Kmart.

I usually use a translucent powder but all these were slightly tinted, so I wasn't sure which shade to go with as Kmart don't have testers and I just took a guess and picked up "Light Beige". As it turns out, Light Beige is very light and I could have gone one shade darker. It's not so bad if I use it with a brush but if I apply the powder with the powder puff that comes under the powder compact, I start to look very pale!

The powder is not bad, it does keep me shine-free for a few hours and the fairly sturdy compact has a transparent lid and the powder compact lifts up to reveal a little storage compartment underneath with a powder puff and little mirror.

The nice thing about the mirror being underneath the powder is that it stays clean and doesn't get full of powder residue. It's also cushioned by the powder puff, so the mirror doesn't crack if you travel with it (which I have done and it's still in one piece!).

Australis Fresh & Flawless Pressed Powder is oil and fragrance free and is not tested on animals. It does contain parabens, as well as titanium dioxide (the ingredient responsible for white flashback in photos).

I'll probably buy another one in a slightly darker shade, so I can see how it works with the powder puff / sponge that is provided, instead of using a brush.

Tips: Use a powder brush for a lighter, more flawless application.

Great all rounder!!

This powder is great!!! It can be alone for light coverage or used to set foundation and take it from medium to full coverage. I love using this powder both ways!! If I'm in a rush I will just use the powder alone and if I'm looking for long lasting full coverage foundation I will apply on top of my liquid base. It does a really great job of making the face look matte. Also leaves a flawless finish like it says it would. Great product would definitely recommend!!

Affordable powder

This powder is good at setting liquid foundation which lasts throughout the day. It has a sturdy compact which includes a mirror and puff which I don't use. The only downfall is that it lacks in a variety of shades, only 3 from what I can remember at farmers. When I swatched the 3 shades in store, they looked very similar to each other
