Australis Fresh and Flawless Pressed Powder

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.

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.

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 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.

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 :)

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!

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.

Drugstore products for me are a bit hit and miss and with australis, I've had a few hit. This pressed powder is gives quite a bit of coverage so if your using full coverage foundation, you might not wanna use this since it can make you extra thick. But its good for light coverage foundations. It does blur out your imperfections a bit and the mirror is very convenient so its good to just chuck in your bag for handy touch ups.

The only con would be the shades, theres only 3 shades from what i remember and they all look similar. I got the natural one which is why too light for me but i just use it to brighten up under my eyes cause thats where i need blurring and then my MAC MSFN for the rest of my face and even though i have dry skin, this does not emphasise and dry patches.
