Australis Fresh and Flawless Pressed Powder

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.

Another purchase from my Melbourne trip and I got two and gave one to my sister. I have been using mine ever since and I've been loving it.

This is my current favourite powder and I haven't even bothered at my other ones. This has beaten my Bourjois Health Balance powder. This sets me makeup so well, it's not cakey and the packaging is great too as it has a mirror at the bottom with a sponge. I don't use the sponge applicator at home and I use a fluffy powder brush instead to set my makeup.

On lazy days, I just put CC cream on and this on top and it gives me a good coverage.

I don't know about the soothing and cooling qualities of this as I haven't really noticed but it does help in creating a flawless face.

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

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.

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!

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.

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!!

I will never use another pressed powder ever again. I have extremely oily skin and nothing ever lasts on me, I use this over my Revlon Colorstay Oil/Combo foundation and it is the best combo ever. I can go 4 or so hours without worrying about checking myself in the mirror and knowing I still look good. I can go up to 5 hours on a hot day without touching up. This stuff is a life saver, my holy grail powder - it never looks cakey either! The only downfall is the shade selection - 3 shades Australis? Come on.
