Australis Fresh and Flawless Pressed Powder

This product is really great. I have dry skin and it does alot for me. Sometimes it makes my skin look dry but on the whole I like it. It has a full coverage and you dont need too much to get coverage. Reasonably priced and lasts for quite a while.

I'm not lying, this was the first foundation I ever purchased. I was a young teen and I bought it in one of the darker shades and caked it onto my face and thought I looked fabulous :D

Its actually a very good powder, it lasts forever and provides good coverage. It sets a liquid well and comes in a nice little compact with a sponge. Very smooth and not grainy or thick at all.

I'd say it could be dupe for MACs studio fix powder, my current favourite, very similar packaging but I prefer the silkiness of the studio fix. A good, more affordable alternative though. I used it for years, managing to slowly move from the orange-brown shades to my actual skin tone, and its pretty much a never-fail pressed powder.

This is one of those products that is almost identical to the high-end ranges but of course at less than half the price making it super affordable. It gives fantastic coverage and never looks cakey. The big flaw however is the lack of colour range as it only comes in 3 shades and I, like many of my friends, have to use the darkest shade which in reality isn’t even that dark. Flaw aside, I still really like this product and use it all the time :)

I've tried a bunch of different powders, but have always found myself coming back to fresh and flawless pressed powder. It's in a cute little compact which is easy to keep in your bag/car for whenever you need it. I find a lot of powders looks great on my cheeks but make the skin on my T zone look really dry. This powder doesn't seem to dry out my skin, it builds coverage well whilst feeling light when you were it. Unlike a lot of Australis foundations, it does come in light shades that aren't too orange. I also like that it doesn't have a heavy make up smell like some other pressed powders, and the compact doesn't get icky over time.

I got the lightest shade so I could use it solely to set my makeup as I find powders ether cake or are to orangy on my skin tone when used alone. BUT in a rush one more I just used this and it was perfect, no caking, no breakouts and removed the oily shine to my face ( yay ) I find that you need to use a good amount to get a decent coverage but its cheap enough to replace when empty. The case is ok, not as durable as my others but is by no means flimsy. I think I paid around $15/$18 from kmart

Bought this powder after hearing so much about it and really recommend it.

I use it to set my makeup as im not a fan of wearing powders alone but it does a great job, it adds to my coverage and makes my foundation last longer.

My only concern is the lack of shades available, and the shades do have quite an orange undertone BUT if you find a shade that suits you then this product is well worth buying.

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 hadn't tried any of Australis' make-up before and was in need of a new powder when I spotted Australis Fresh & Flawless at my local Kmart.

I usually use a translucent powder but all these were slightly tinted, so I wasn't sure which shade to go with as Kmart don't have testers and I just took a guess and picked up "Light Beige". As it turns out, Light Beige is very light and I could have gone one shade darker. It's not so bad if I use it with a brush but if I apply the powder with the powder puff that comes under the powder compact, I start to look very pale!

The powder is not bad, it does keep me shine-free for a few hours and the fairly sturdy compact has a transparent lid and the powder compact lifts up to reveal a little storage compartment underneath with a powder puff and little mirror.

The nice thing about the mirror being underneath the powder is that it stays clean and doesn't get full of powder residue. It's also cushioned by the powder puff, so the mirror doesn't crack if you travel with it (which I have done and it's still in one piece!).

Australis Fresh & Flawless Pressed Powder is oil and fragrance free and is not tested on animals. It does contain parabens, as well as titanium dioxide (the ingredient responsible for white flashback in photos).

I'll probably buy another one in a slightly darker shade, so I can see how it works with the powder puff / sponge that is provided, instead of using a brush.

This powder is great!!! It can be alone for light coverage or used to set foundation and take it from medium to full coverage. I love using this powder both ways!! If I'm in a rush I will just use the powder alone and if I'm looking for long lasting full coverage foundation I will apply on top of my liquid base. It does a really great job of making the face look matte. Also leaves a flawless finish like it says it would. Great product would definitely recommend!!

In the hunt for a new powder foundation I found this little compact. The clear lid shows the powder and when you lift up the pressed powder flip section you get a sponge and magnifying mirror, nice for on the go and not sure where a big mirror is. I found this unscented and was happy as sometime fragrance can irritate the skin. I discovered that I preferred to use this on top of liquid to set foundation and make sure I had the cover I wanted. I did try it by itself a couple of times and it gave light cover only, I prefer a more medium coverage. I do prefer using a powder brush to apply this rather than the sponge but it could be good for touch ups during the day especially if you have oil issues. Overall I found this to be a nice little compact that I would look at rebuying.
