Australis Primer Review

I was attracted to this product due to the price and the fact that I'm a fan of the australis brand (in particular their nail polish). However, when I purchased this I was confused and disappointed. This is the first primer I have ever used and not only did I think it smelled unpleasant, I also saw no difference in terms of making my make up last longer. I soon stopped using this primer (it's still in my makeup drawer half full) and have yet to try another brand's primer. Not really keen to make another commitment to primer again.

Overall I found this alright. It gives me a nice even base but I didn't find it made my make up last any longer and it seemed to sink in quickly. The quality reflects the price I suppose.

I bought this as I had just run out of my other primer. It has such a weird consistency, it feels like nothing is going on your face. It didn't prolong the longevity of my foundation and I regret buying it. Though it was cheap, I really wish I had skipped on buying this.

In spite of some not so great reviews on here of this product, I loved it! Its the first primer I've ever tried and I found it really helps foundation go on smoother, particularly below the eyes - it stops concealer and foundation from sinking into the creases. I always use this for a big night or long day when I need my make up to stay put and it does not disappoint. I used it on the day of my graduation when it was hot and sunny and I was out of the house from 8am - 11pm - and I couldn't believe how good my makeup looked when I came home!

Purchased this primer from Farmers on reccomendation of a friend who uses it daily.

The packaging for the primer is simple and easy to spot in the Australis stand.

The primer texture is very siliony and has quite a strange smell to it. It absorbs in fast like you havent even put it on.

After the second week of using this it started to make my skin breakout every time I used it and to be honest I never noticed that it made my foundation stay on any longer

I won't be finishing this tube and wont be repurchasing either

Been using this for a couple of years, is a nice light primer to put on. I have used another primer and it was like putting PermFiller on (a product you use to fill in/cover up holes in your gib), so this was a nice change. It does absorb super quick so you can't fart about going from this to concealer. I use moisturiser first, then this, then concealer, then mineral foundation. I find it makes it stay on longer and helps with NOT clogging my pores. It also lasts ages like 4-5 months, maybe longer

I bought this primer from Farmers as it caught my eye whilst looking at other Australis products and I couldn't resist buying it to try due to the price. The product comes in a simple white tube that is extremely convenient to use. The tube squeezes out a perfect amount of primer at a time. It isn't like other primers I have used that are too runny and squirt out too much. This is a plus for me, as it means a lot less waste and makes the product last longer.

The primer itself is a weird, silicone feeling consistency. It isn't sticky, but not creamy either. I found it quite difficult to apply as it dried within seconds and afterwards my face felt like I hadn't applied any primer at all. It's like it just disappeared! It also had a strange smell, which didn't make the product too pleasant to use, especially on top of the consistency.

I found that it didn't enhance the wear of my make up at all, and actually decreased the condition of my foundation. It made my foundation look blotchy and patchy which has not happened with other primers I have used. I found that without this product, my make up lasted the same amount of time and I didn't have the patchy look either.

I have tried this product by itself and also tried it after using a couple of different moisturisers, and have had the same results no matter what. I do have a dry skin, so that may be the reason it doesn't work for me, but despite the cheap price I won't be buying this product again.

I actually really liked this primer. I probably won't buy it again because I have a million other primers to get through but I liked how cooling and moisturising this was and how it sunk quickly into the skin. I don't much like australis products so it was a pleasant surprise.

I purchased this at my local chemist where you got a free compact when you spent so much so I thought I would give this a go.

The primer itself has neither a creamy nor silicon feel to it, I find that it feels quite wet and light. It comes out white and goes onto my skin clear and does not have much of a smell to it.

The wet texture does feel quite refreshing on my face but I do not find that this makes my face feel smoother like some other primers I have tried. Even though the primer does feel wet it absorbs into my skin quickly and I do not have to wait a few minutes for it to set. A down side to this is that I have to apply it all over my face quickly before it sinks in to get good coverage.

This primer does work at keeping my foundation on for most of my 8 hour work day. But I do find it starting to wear off in the last couple of hours. Even though it does start to wear off it keeps my make up on for a lot longer than if I did not use primer at all.

It is packaged in a simple white tube with an easy to screw lid. You do not need much product to get full coverage therefore for the price and amount of product you receive this is a pretty fair deal.

I continue to use this product as my every day for work primer and I would mostly likely repurchase this again if there was a good deal on Australis products. If I was going out for a special occasion or needed to have my makeup stay on amazing all day then I would use one of my other primers that has abit more staying power.

Hands down the worst primer I have ever used in my life. It did nothing except for sting my skin and make little bumps form on it. It's quite pricy too; there are many more affordable and better options out there so I'd definitely give this a pass! The formula was also very thin and watery so I don't see how it could have worked out.
