Australis Primer Review

I persisted in using this primer for months but I really found no difference when I used it. It's water based, so really all it did was slightly moisturise my skin, which isn't what i want in a primer. It was just another unneccessary product that took up space in my drawer that I didn't really like. I've since thrown it away and replaced it with a primer that really does do something.

I received this as a free gift from Farmers when I spent over a certain amount on Australis products and I found it wasn't a very good primer at all. I found it really silicony and gelly like and when I rubbed it into my skin it felt watery. It didn't feel like it was putting a barier between my foundation and skin at all. Haven't used it again since, I like most of Australis' products but not a fan of this :)

PROS: A great price. Decent amount of product. Handy slim packaging - easy to slip in to your makeup bag. Skin feels nice & smooth after application.

CONS: Does/offers nothing special - I couldn't even tell the difference in the look of my skin when using versus not using. Makeup does not last any longer with this product on. I personally find it very drying around my eyes, nose & brows (my skin would go flaky over the course of the day in these areas when I am wearing it).

It has a watery gel consistency. Possibly an ok starter primer, but offers nothing special to be honest. There are better primers on the market.

I brought this from Kmart, when I had just run out of my favorite Maybelline Primer to fill in time before I could get another.

Big mistake that was. This product made me break out so much, and never before has any type of makeup done this to me. Not only did I break out, but it did nothing! no difference, it smelt bad, the texture was horrible very silicony. It was not sticky but it had quite a slippery texture to it, my foundation did not apply well at all, extremely patchy.

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.

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.

This primer did nothing for me. There was no difference to the lasting of my make up nor did it hydrate my skin any more than a moisturiser. I ended up throwing it out and am yet to find a decent primer

I got this free with a foundation and I'm very glad I didn't actually buy it because it does horrible things to my skin. It is a personal thing however as all skin types are extremely different but I found it made my skin feel dry and my break outs got even worse! I don't notice any changes when I'm wearing it and when I'm not

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

I had high hopes for this primer but it didn't work for me like I had hoped!

I do like the feel of this primer when I first put it on my skin, although in saying that it is quite 'wet' and doesn't really feel like it absorbs properly, so leaves my skin feeling damp for a lot longer than I would like.

Because of the watery texture and lack of absorption I was apprehensive about it's promise to keep my makeup on for longer - and it didn't. I think it is a bit of a weird product as it doesn't really seem to serve any purpose other than putting extra product on my face.

This seemed to make my face oilier by the end of the day and my makeup definitely didn't stay on longer, it slid around more!

Not a huge fan of the packaging either and for what it is I think the product is over priced.
