Australis Fresh and Flawless Pressed Powder

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

Super cheap an super good! One of my more preferred pressed powers. However I do wish they had a wider colour range

I use this over top of my foundation , It leaves a lovely flawless look on my face . Its affordable and lasts for ages. I have tried a lot of powders that are more expensive but always find myself coming back to this one as it is looks far better on the skin and does not leave a cake face effect.

I finally purchased this after reading amazing reviews about this product and had to try it for myself.

Consistency - This product is a densely packed pressed powder.

Application - I used this product to set my liquid foundation, to apply to my face I use an ELF kabuki brush.

Coverage - This product adds to the coverage my liquid foundation provides but on its on it provides low to medium coverage.

Usage - I have been using this product every day for around 3 months now and am no way near hitting pan, this product will definitely last me quite a while.

Price - This product is priced about the same as other "drugstore" powders, it is definitely an affordable product.

Packaging - The packaging of this product is a sleek black compact with a clear window in the top, this allows you to see the product. The inside compact also lifts up and has a sponge stored underneath which is great for travelling. The packaging reminds me somewhat of the old mac packaging.

Results - This product adds to the coverage that my liquid foundation provides and sets it in place without leaving my face looking "cakey". This also mattified my face without leaving it on the extreme side of matte but I didn't need to touch up with my powder throughout the day either.

Skin Type- I have very fair combination, blemish prone skin. I get an oily t zone but other areas of my face often get dry.

Repurchase - I will definitely be repurchasing this product when my current one runs out.

I a little bit on the fence with Australis Fresh and Flawless Pressed Powder.

On one hand it is a nice powder that sit nicely on the skin and has a smooth finish. It's also cruelty free.

On the other hand it also has parabens in it which I'm trying to avoid in cosmetics.

So overall, I liked the powder and the finish. But I would hesitate when considering buying it again solely due to the ingredients.

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 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 love Australis and their Fresh & Flawless Powder. I have the lightest shade and it's not too light and white which I like. It's not cake or powdery and doesn't crumble. It almost sets like a translucent powder which is awesome as you don't have a layer of powder sitting on top and clinging to fine hairs. Love the fact Australis use Natural ingredients and are CF too :) Big A Plus for me!

This is a great powder and like my title says, it is the perfect dupe for MAC studio fix powder for just a fraction of the price.

Like it says in it name, it makes your skin look flawless after applying and you certainly cannot go wrong wit this.

The only problem that I have wit hit is that sometimes it can be quite drying to the face

I love this powder! It goes on well with my E.L.F kabuki brush (the only brush I use for pressed powders) it covers nicely and doesn't leave the powdered look on your skin like some do! It has a good range of colours to choose from and it is a generous size to last a long while! Might have to powder your face again during the day though as it can wear off and go patchy as I haven't used this with primer before.
