Australis Fresh and Flawless Pressed Powder

This is the first powder my mum bought me for my 15th birthday! It is a good product. it applies well and doesnt feel too heavy at all. However if you are in a place where you are going to be sweating a lot, it will work against you. It will clump around you nose, but you can always re-apply. Still a very good product

I have brought several of these and I am still in love the compartment is strurdy and has seperate compartment for included applicatior which I have never used as I always reach forms powder brush. This powder is great for setting your foundation and adds a tiny bit more coverage which is nice! Doesn't cake or dry out my skin does sometimes need to be reapplied if it's an overly hot day though which is understandable find it quite comparable to high end setting powder for a lot less!

I use this powder on a daily basis and really like the finishing touch! I prefer to put it on with a brush as it doesn't look so packed on. It is a reliable cheap pressed powder that suits many skin types.

I purchased this product as a lot of people were talking about it being a dupe for M.A.C. Which it is, the only down side is unlike M.A.C there's not a lot of shades available. You only have the option of 3 shades at my local farmers.

I find that this powder is high coverage as it could be use on its on or to set foundation. This compact is travel friendly and won't break the bank if you loose it.

The best way to apply this powder is with a kabuki brush and it will give you a nice Frobisher with out it look cakey.

I'm not sure about the packaging here, but I bought mine from Farmers and it has a clear cover that allows you to see the powder through it. I love how sturdy it is, so the cover won't pop off and break and it also has a compartment containing a mirror and a sponge.

One of the the negatives about the product is the colour range - there are only 3 and I bought mine in natural which is the lightest shade and is waaay too pale for me now, but looks great in winter.

The powder is quite high coverage for a powder and for those with good skin, they could probably get away with just a powder. For me however, I have a lot of blemishes and breakouts that I need to cover so I usually use a concealer and set it with this powder. It sets and makes you matte without looking cakey or powdery - plus it really does make you look airbrushed and flawless! Another plus is that it doesn't break me out - which is rare as my skin is super breakout prone.

The powder itself is very finely milled and goes on really smoothly - comparable to my Dior and Estée Lauder powders (and also, better)! Definitely love this and I will probably buy the darker shade to wear in summer as well.

I bought this as an option to pat over the top of my foundation when out and about and so far I'm very impressed!

The packaging is very nice. I like the pink foil logo on the black background, it makes it seem quite funky and appealing. Inside, it has the product, then the mirror and sponge.

I chose the shade Deep Natural. This is actually darker than I would have thought my skin is but on my face it looks quite nice. It's very sheer when using on its own so would only really be used if I wanted a bit of a sun-kissed glow to my skin. When I use it to touch up my foundation it gives a good warmth but not too overpowering or orangey. It also blends really well.

I tried applying with a powder brush as this is the closest I have at the moment to a kabuki but I found that it made a lot of powder go to waste. For touch-ups I mostly apply around the nose and cheeks so the sponge was fine for this. The sponge was able to blend it well and left a nice smooth finish.

I'll definitely be repurchasing this, and will probably purchase the lighter natural shade for the middle of winter when my skin is a bit more pale.

no words but amazing. ... its a fine powder that glides perfectly onto your foundation. And also is a great foundation setter.

This product I use both by itself and on top of a BB cream/liquid foundation. I use it on top when I am going for a full coverage look, and by itself when I want more of a sheer look. It evens my skin tone when used by itself, and helps cover my blemishes without clogging up my pores. I change the colour with the seasons, with the middle tone during the summer and the lightest tone during the winter. There is only three tones though, so might be less versatile for others. The packaging has a mirror on the inside which is big enough to see with when a full mirror isn't available. It also comes with a sponge applicator which is useful, although you should be careful when using this to apply the powder on top of a cream foundation as it can look cakey. It applies really well with a powder brush, although there is some wastage doing it this way.

I found it difficult to get a good colour match with this product. The application was a bit blotchy and it seemed to look overly powdery in places. I'm not sure, it could just be my skin type but it really didn't agree with me. It also caused my face to break out.. Which is weird seeing it's supposed to stop that. It's just not for me.

I actually thought this powder was pretty good until I discovered better products. The downfall in my eyes is that it doesn't seem to last, and I had to reapply a few times throughout the day.

It's a very light powder and it does set the foundation well, so I'd say it's definitely worth the money. I used this powder for quite a while until I decided to try the Maybelline 24 hour powder which I'm now using.
