Not worth wasting your money..

I grabbed this primer in a hurry because I had run out of my usual favourite. Sadly it was a huge dissapointment and I would have been better off going without. This primer didn't seem to help my makeup last and after putting it on left my skin feeling horrible, almost a weird grippy feeling to it. I didn't like the smell or texture. Only positive about this product is the tube it comes in is quite easy to use. Give this one a miss! Not worth purchasing, there are plenty of better options out there for the same price.

Didn't work

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

just like an extra moisturiser

I was very kindly sent this by a lovely br member. A while ago actually but I've been trying to use up older primers before I opened this one. I have very dry skin with a bit of redness. I don't really have any texture issues. I'm not sure what exactly I want out of a primer yet, maybe just something to give a bit of glow and help my makeup stay on longer.

This comes in a very basic, white squeeze tube. It has primer the original on it. I'm not sure if this means that there are other types of primers from this brand too. This says it prevents foundation fading, smooths and refines, moisturizes and is silicone free. These are all things I like and want to happen to my skin. This primer is white with a sort of jellied consistency. It looks a little separated if you squish it on your hands but it goes on smoothly on my face. To me, it just feels like an extra moisturizer. It absorbs quite quickly which is nice but I really don't notice any benefits from using this. I don't think it helps make stay longer, and I don't think it would do much in the way of smoothing. The scent is a little weird, luckily it's not strong and I don't notice it on my face. I use around a pea sized amount.

I wouldn't go out of my way to purchase this but I will finish the bottle. Australis do this as a gwp quite a bit so I'd use it if I got it for free that way too. I'm not really sure if I could recommend this, maybe if you're just looking for an extra moisturizing effect, just don't expect miracles.

Best primer so far

I first got this as a free gift with my Australis purchase during a promo at Farmers.

This is a gel based primer. The gel itself is white in colour but upon application it blends in and becomes transparent. It gives a smooth and clear application - and feels cool to the skin.. It takes a fairly short time to dry off before you can start putting on foundation.

I was not sure about this product at the first try. But after a few more times, I fell in love with this product, the foundation just stays on much better and longer.

I keep repurchasing this product whenever I run out or if it is a free gift for Australis purchases I end up buying those additional items just to get my hands on this.

Australis Primer a must

I love this primer, smells yummy and sure does the trick, I struggled with keeping my foundation and powder on around my eyes and this product has helped me so much with this.

Tips: Don't forget to let it dry of before applying your foundation!

Everyday prime

I bought this primer to try as a cheap everyday primer and I love it! I didn't want to use my Mac primers for everyday use as they are quite expensive but I have found that I actually prefer this more! It makes a great base for my foundation and it glides right over my pores.

Tips: First I put on my moisturiser, then this primer, then Mac strobe cream and then Mac studio fix and it looks great! I have normal to oily skin with a few blemishes and my face looks almost flawless after using this primer :)

Primer

This is the first primer I've ever used and so far I like it. For my combination oily skin it works quite well. It fills in my giant pores without blocking them. My foundation applies smoothly and even. My skin doesn't feel dry or oilyer (is that a word?). And the best part is my makeup stays in place all day. No sliding around. I do need to blot my nose and powder through out the day but thats normal for me. So yeah I really like this primer. Big thumbs up from me

Tips: Let it soak in before applying foundation

Australis Primer

I honestly didn't find this primer did any of the things it said it would aside of maybe adding a little extra moisture to my skin which I could have achieved by adding an additional layer of my moisturiser. I couldn't see any difference in the application or longevity of my foundation, this one is definitely a miss for me. Sorry Australis!

Next Please...

For a primer this product was pretty average. I enjoyed the consistency of the formula and found that when applied with a sponge I got a pretty even coverage. Unfortunately that's all that the Australis Primer impressed me with.

I found the primer didn't hydrate my skin as well as what I expected it too especially when considering the ingredients it contains and sadly the primer didn't do an awful lot in the way of holding my foundation in place throughout the day.

The Australis Primer would make an okay lazy-day kind of primer but in no way would I trust it beneath my makeup for a night on the town.

Not a favourite

I used this primer briefly last summer and found that my make up would not stay in place for longer than the 15 minutes after I had applied it. Has the silicone-y texture like most primers. Can be very drying to if you don't use a decent moisturiser before applying this primer. Had high hopes! but I was disappointed.
