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!
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 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 use this powder every day and I am hooked! I am in Deep Natural and I find this is my perfect shade. I have quite fair skin but yellow undertones and this is just perfect. I feel it gives a touch extra coverage if you are one of those particularly bad skin days. It sets my foundation and concealer all day and keeps my skin matte but not flat.
Highly recommend!!
Tips: Use it with a big fluffy brush
Ive heard its a dupe for the Mac studio fix powder and id say they compare pretty closely. Its super super finely milled so it blends in flawlessly. It slightly adds a bit more coverage over top of my foundation but doesnt look cakey. The colour range is not very big but my colour matches my skin type perfectly. So im lucky there.
Tips: Press the powder in do not swipe, as it will move your foundation and make it go patchy
Lovely product. Unfortunately I've gone too light for the shade I bought in sunnier times, but will absolutely purchase the lighter shade for the winter months. It's not cakey or powdery. Great finishing coverage. (I use on top of liquid foundation)
Super cheap an super good! One of my more preferred pressed powers. However I do wish they had a wider colour range
Tips: Use kabuki brush to apply, works best for me
This is great for touch ups during the day and when i go out at night as it lasts for ages over my foundation! my only issue with it is i have to be careful when applying it on/around my nose as it cakes easily there on me
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
