I found this powder really great, it sets my foundation nicely without a cakey effect. Good coverage, nice colour and nice size. I have nothing bad to say about this product :)

Tips: I like to use a kabuki brush rather than the application sponge provided, I feel it gives me better coverage
After hearing this was a dupe for mac studio fix I literally HAD TO TRY IT and I must say it does the job! Both products are very similar, I find that the Australis like Mac' is very full coverage, I can put on a bit of concealer and then the powder and I can go for gold! It also manages to sit lightly on the face, so my make up often doesnt feel so "caked" on. One down fall is that it only comes in 3 shades, I chose the darkest and still thought it was a bit to light for me (Im tan, but not overly tan) but if you can match your skin to a shade then it would honestly be PERFECT for you and at that price, you really cant go wrong with giving it a go. I do still prefer my MAC studio fix, but Australis is still such a great dupe!
The name says it all for this product, it really does give a flawless finish. I pair this with the Rimmel Stat Matte mousse foundation, to set my foundation, keep me matte throughout the day and add a little bit of extra coverage. A small amount of the Australis Fresh and flawless pressed powder gives an even, flawless look to my skin. This may be too much for those who prefer a particularly natural coverage. The coverage lasts all day and I find that at the most I will need to use a blotting sheet, but never reapply the powder, although this would differ between people.
I have recently been converted to this from the Rimmel Stay Matte powder. I love the much sturdier packaging that Australis provides alongside a more natural colour. As far as pressed powders go, Australis is still pretty affordable.
The only downside to this product would be the colour range. Although I have a great colour match, there are only three shades which wouldn't be for everybody. I can see this being my go to powder for quite some time.
I used to use this face powder when I was younger to cover up my pimples, it worked really well for me and did make my face look flawless. This powder works really well for coverage, but I did find it was just a tiny bit cakey, still a great product though and I would recommend it and use it again.
This is such a great dupe for the Mac Studio Fix Powder! I love this powder and use it every day to set my foundation. It is so fine and smooth and really gives a flawless finish to your base.
The only downside is that the colour range is very limited. The darkest colour is 'Dark Brown' and it is the shade I use - and I am a fair to medium skin tone. Aside from that, this is absolutely my go to holy grail face powder. Love it and would highly recommend you try it!
Tips: Tap your brush or a dry beauty blender into the powder and bounce or pat onto your face for an airbrushed finish.
This really is a great powder foundation, especially for the price. I haven't tried MAC Studio Fix personally, but so many people have said that this is a great dupe for it.
My favourite thing about this powder is the fact that it has amazing, buildable coverage that is so non-cakey in finish - something that is often not the case even in quite sheer coverage powders. Obviously you can use this as a foundation on its own, or you can use it (lightly, or I find that it can start to look a bit obvious) over foundation to set it and add some extra coverage. I personally like using it with just a bit of concealer, for a really nice, "flawless" yet everyday base.
The only downside with this powder for me is that the shade selection is very limited - three shades, whcih are all fairly similar - nothing super dark or super light. I found that the lightest shade for me was just slightly too pinky-based to work perfectly on my very fair, warm skin. Obviously I could make it work, by blending it out really well, but it did mean that it wasn't quite as quick and convenient as I had hoped.
Overall: I'd definitely recommend - it's amazing quality for an amazing price! Just be aware that if you have a very fair or dark skintone, you may have a bit of difficulty finding your perfect match. xx
Tips: Apply with a fluffy powder brush to give a light application/set your foundation, or use a denser, kabuki brush (or even the sponge it comes with) to get a really full coverage.
I recently brought this powder and after it's first use I was hooked. I have it in Deep Natural which is a good choice for me but I was surprised at the shade selection, I could probably use the darkest shade. It's packaging is a nice, sleek and sturdy compact which is easy to open. I use my Real Techniques kabuki to apply and it picks up just the right amount of powder. It definitely sets my makeup nicely while adding a little more coverage then my other powders have but it doesn't make my skin cakey, so it's perfect! I find while it does mattify my skin still has a somewhat dewy look (I use products like lumi magique primer and foundation for a dewy skin look) so this makes me happy. I will definitely be repurchasing!
I haven't used many australis products (just this one and a liquid eyeliner), but this powder is really fine, and settles into my skin really well, giving a flawless finish that feels lightweight! Very good for its price!
I used to use TonyMoly's Cat Wink pressed powder religiously and never ever would use anything else because its just that good. Until I tried this!
I heard all the hype about it and that it was a good dupe for MAC, also my sister had been using it and loving it. So when I had some Farmers store credit I decided to finally give this a go.
And man am I happy I did. I was so surprised how good this worked on me. It kept my makeup so good in one place ans just lasted through out the day. On a 12 hour period I only had to touch up once.
I love it because it sits on your face like its invisible. You don't get that powdery cakey look that powders give you. Oh no, this products just looked like I was wearing nothing at all.
Whit the price only being $20 this makes it even better. The design is nice and sleek and has the signature pink Australis writing on it.
Tips: Use a brush for a nicer finish!
i have recently starting using australis make up and i an in love with it the finish of this power is as it says flawless. i love how it doest sit in your creases or insinuate youre dry patches like some other powders do. australis is by far value for money
