Australis Metallix Eyeshadow Review

I love this eye shadow and there is a good range of colours to choose from. My favorite one is gold gaga. It has a nice creamy consistency and I was impressed at how buttery and pigmented this eye shadow was. I usually use my fingers to apply this eye shadow, it lasts all day and is good for nights out and you don't need to use a heap of it for it to be noticeable.

I have this product in the shade 'Pearl Jammin'. The name suggests that it would be a light white/pink shade, but it is actually more like a light gold. I was going to purchase the shade 'Gold Gaga' because I was looking for a gold eyeshadow, but it was a bit darker and more of a copper colour. If you're looking for a lovely bright gold shade in this range, then I suggest you buy 'Pearl Jammin'.

I picked this up from Farmers for $12. It comes in a small pot with a clear lid that you unscrew to get to the product. You only need to use a very small amount of product at a time, so it is great value for money.

This eyeshadow is a bit different to anything else I have ever used before. It feels a bit damp and spongy. The product is extremely pigmented and it really does leave a wet metallic foil finish. These are definitely comparable to the Stila Magnificent Metals Foil Finish Eyeshadows.

I like to either use my fingers or a flat eyeshadow brush to apply this product to my eyelids. You can apply it on thick, which will leave you with a full-on metallic foil finish. I also like to apply a thin amount over darker eyeshadows. This will leave you with bits of gold sparkles on your eyelids, which can look really nice.

I always make sure to use a primer when using this product and I have never had any problems with it transferring or creasing. Overall I really love this how this product looks and I can't wait to pick up even more shades.

I brought the entire collection of these shadows off the australis website when they had a 50% off sale. I am sooo impressed with the pigmentation from them, however, I did have a reaction on my inner corners from them :( I'm yet to give them another go as I'm not sure if my skin was particularly sensitive that day or not.

Having said that, the colour lasted really well all day and didn't move which is great so i am hoping that i can use them stil!

This is a tricky product to get used to because the formula is so different to anything else on the market (apart from the Stila ones) but once you get the hang of it they look amazing, I usually pack it onto the lid and chuck a transition colour in the crease and it gives a blown out foiled look to the eye and no other shadow I've used can give the same effect. They're super cheap as well, you can get them from Farmers for about $12, I just wish they expanded the colour range

Stila has some magnificent metal shadows which have been on my lust list for a long time. The price of these has prevented me from purchasing them so when I saw these dupes from Australis, I nabbed one asap.

I have the shade Gold Gaga which - as the name suggests, is a gold shade. It is quite a yellow gold as opposed to a white gold shade.

The formula of this is kind of spongy - it feels almost cushiony to the touch. These are incredibly pigmented and I like to use my finger to apply them to my eye.

Once applied these create the most beautiful foiled, wet metallic look. The only downside to these is that you definitely need a primer to keep them sticking around otherwise they tend to migrate a little bit.

Overall I love the one shade of this that I have and definitely want more. Using one of these is a great way to make an eye look pop without a massive price tag.

I got two of the Metallix eyeshadows from a beauty event. I got the shades Guns and Rose Petals and Gold Gaga. Guns and Rose Petals is a silver shade with pinky silver glitter while Gold Gaga is a rose gold colour. Both are extremely pigmented and I was really impressed.

These are cream eyeshadows with a foil-like finish to it. They are so shimmery and perfect for a night out. They last really well on especially if you use an eyelid primer.

A little bit will give you a nice shimmer but you can also build this up for a dramatic look. Between the two shades, I'd pibk Gold Gaga as it is just so beautiful.

Love, love, LOVE this creamy metallic eyeshadow! It goes on really smoothly and stays there all day, doesn't move, doesn't crease. You can build coverage from a light shimmer to a bold metallic lid.

I bought the colours Gold Gaga and Lana Del Grey and fell in love the first time that I used them. They are great for putting down as base or wearing by themselves. The times that i have worn them, people have asked what they are. Cant wait to buy more.

I LOVE how these swatch in store, and am going through a big rose gold obsession at the moment, so I picked up Guns and Rose Petals from Farmers. It blended out on my hand awesome, but I am having trouble getting them to blend out as nicely on my eyes. I can't quite achieve a well blended or precise look with them, the go a bit patchy on my eye lids. Also as I get more fine lines on my eyes I find that metallic shadows look less and less flattering on me, which is such a shame. Probably won't stop me from wearing them sometimes and experimenting. The colour is such a great rose gold shade if that's what you're after. I will have to be brave and try and a darker shade someday soon :)

These are beautiful looking foiled shadows which are absolutely chockfull of pigment. Plum diddy is (as the name suggests) a deep metallic plum with a hint of sparkle. I don't often wear super dark colours on my eyes so I personally like to apply this quite lightly and sheer it across my mobile lid, blending it into the crease with a matte cool brown. When worn sheer in this way it looks like a light brown/plum and is really flattering and wearable.

Guns and Rose petals is a soft pale pink and is incredibly metallic. It makes a super vibrant inner corner highlight similar in tone to Makeup Geek Whimsical. The texture of this is a little chunky so has to be blended out with the warmth of your fingertips.

While I love the colours and pigmentation of these shadows they crease absolutely terribly on me. I have tried these with a variety of primers including Mac Paint pot and had creasing with all of them. This means I rarely reach for them, particularly if I need my shadows to last more than an hour or two.

If you aren't prone to creasing shadows or have oily teary lids like me then I would absolutely recommend these- they are a great price and are beautiful shadows. However because of the unsightly creasing I wont be purchasing more shades.
