I used to love this but recently found it has been drying my skin out a bit. It gives good coverage and look smooth over your favourite liquid foundation. It is very affordable and does alright for what you pay.

Tips: Avoid putting on upper lip as it tend to cake a bit
I picked up this compact fully sealed from me of my local markets . I’ve been needing an all over powder and finally I got the chance to try it .
This comes in a plastic compact. Labelling is clear. Consistency is pressed powder. I don’t notice any scent. There’s no shimmer it’s completely matte.
I had my first try of this over my foundation. I found it very drying . It settles on wrinkles too . I have a few fine lines coming through.
After trying it I wasn’t happy with the amount of fall out I had. The coverage didn’t last longer than two hours. I cant see myself repurchasing this again.
My all time favourite powder, I reckon this is a awesome dupe for Mac studio fix powder if not even better, gives coverage to your foundation and doesn’t look cakey or dry. Sets your makeup in place for hours and does budge! I highly recommend this powder to anyone
I love this powder. I use it on all my clients. Not only is it good to set foundation but also adds coverage. It's great for people with oily skin but works on pretty much all skin types (maybe not super dry skin though). Flawless even coverage that lasts all day. The only downfall is that there aren't any darker shades for more deeper skin tones.
Tips: Don't use it to set under the eyes as it's too heavy, use a loose or translucent powder
I a little bit on the fence with Australis Fresh and Flawless Pressed Powder.
On one hand it is a nice powder that sit nicely on the skin and has a smooth finish. It's also cruelty free.
On the other hand it also has parabens in it which I'm trying to avoid in cosmetics.
So overall, I liked the powder and the finish. But I would hesitate when considering buying it again solely due to the ingredients.
In the hunt for a new powder foundation I found this little compact. The clear lid shows the powder and when you lift up the pressed powder flip section you get a sponge and magnifying mirror, nice for on the go and not sure where a big mirror is. I found this unscented and was happy as sometime fragrance can irritate the skin. I discovered that I preferred to use this on top of liquid to set foundation and make sure I had the cover I wanted. I did try it by itself a couple of times and it gave light cover only, I prefer a more medium coverage. I do prefer using a powder brush to apply this rather than the sponge but it could be good for touch ups during the day especially if you have oil issues. Overall I found this to be a nice little compact that I would look at rebuying.
