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

Tips: i just wear a light bb cream under this unless i am planing on painting the town red. its a really easy on the go make up, if you prefer a brush application this is also fantastic and blends amazing!
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 :)
Tips: Mine has new packaging if you're looking for this and cannot find it :)
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.
Tips: I find this powder works well over foundation or even tinted moisturiser only. I usually apply in the morning with a brush instead of the sponge that it comes with for a more even coverage, then touch up certain areas with the sponge. Also works great as an under eye concealer if you dampen a brush.
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!
Tips: Use it with a flat top powder brush!
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.
Tips: Dust over the face lightly with a powder brush when setting foundation and buff into the skin with a kabuki brush when using alone :)
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.
This powder is amazing, I absolutely love it. It's the first pressed powder I've really had in a while, and I am very impressed. It sets your foundation well for the day, it provides a light coverage, and really does help to make you look flawless. This has a 'matte' finish, but it won't emphasise dry spots on those of us with dry, dehydrated or combination skin. Overall this is a fantastic powder and I would highly recommend it to everyone - it's a must have for anybodies make-up collection.
Tips: The shade range isn't the best, so if you aren't an 'average' shade, you might have some trouble.
I purchased this product last year as had heard many great things about it being amazing and a dupe for MAC. Being in OZ at the time it only costed me about $4 which is such a small fraction of the MAC retail price I wish I had brought more as after trying it out when I got home I fell in love!
I have it in the shade natural which I think was the lightest shade though there wasn't much to choose from. This is one of the only powders I have tried that doesn't go orange on my pale skin!
I usually apply after my foundation with whatever brush I pick up first whether it be a Kabuki or just a regular 'powder brush' as I find the results are the same. It definitely does give you a 'Fresh & Flawless' look. On days where I just want to wear a concealer I will still powder with this as even though it only gives me a light coverage it still manages to give my face the fresh & flawless look but nice and subtle. I have tried it with different coverage foundations and it never looks cakey when applied on top which makes it even more awesome.
I have been using this almost daily for about 3 months and have yet to hit pan so I am very very happy with that but I will definitely repurchase when the time comes to replace it.
The packaging could be a lot smaller as it has a compartment under the powder with a sponge and mirror that I never use but it is still compact enough to easily take along in my bag with me.
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 :)
