Australis Paparazzi Perfect High Definition Blush

This is my favorite affordable blush!

It comes in sleek black packaging, is a large size (but compact) and also very sturdy; great for travel! Super pigmented, so be careful and go in with a light hand/very fluffy brush!

Very bendable, so even if you go OTT it can easily be blended and buffed out to a natural flush without harsh lines.

I love that its matte, so I can add additional glow in the places I want, without a full on whole cheek sheen.

Its also long wearing, so you don't have to reapply during a long day, and looks super natural, not powdery

I have screen siren, which is mostly a pretty peach color, with splatters of pink and mauve throughout it.

This is the best blush I think I have ever come across! It is very highly pigmented so you have to be careful as a little goes a long way. It did take me a while to get the hang of how much product to put on my brush and I am still learning haha. It is a very hot pink colour. The packaging is really cute and the actual pattern of the blush is pretty awesome. It is very cheap and I think very worth the money. I feel like it is a product that will last me a very long time and I am keen to go buy and try out some more australis products.

These blushes will definitely surprise a lot of people and I'm quite happy I've had them in my collection at one point in time. To me the blushes look like an artist threw "splotches" of paint in the compact (but powder?) haha.

The product comes in the brand's signature black sleek compact with metallic pink lettering. The compact is opaque so you can't see the shade however you can just flip it to the back and you'll see a picture of the shade so you don't waste time opening it. I really liked that because I had 4 of these blushes and it would have found it annoying otherwise.

Shoot to Thrill - Not sure what possessed me to buy this shade but I assume I got carried away. It's "splotches" of pink; hot, medium and pastel pink with tiny flecks of glitter.

Screen Siren - This was my favourite! "Splotches" of rose pink, mauve and light coral with no glitter.

The blushes have a matte finish, fantastic colour payoff and a decent lasting power of 4 hours of vibrancy before fading. Despite the fading you can still see the pop of colour by the end of the day just not as intense.

I noticed that they do kick up quite a bit of powder but I'm not about to complain considering I'm getting a lot of product for an affordable price. I bought them from NZSale for something ridiculous like $5.

The only downside is that I haven't seen these in pharmacies near me or my local Farmers. I no longer have any of them since I've been downsizing my collection but if I could I would probably repurchase Screen Siren again.

I picked this blush up the day before I flew out for two weeks in Asia because my usual one (Too Faced Sweethearts) is quite bulky, and this was inexpensive and more slimline. I got it on special and it was only about $6...crazy cheap. The shade I have is called 'Shoot to Thrill'.

The Australis Paparazzi Perfect High Definition Blush comes in a round, black compact embossed with the product name in hot metallic pink. This makes it relatively easy to identify in my collection. The compact closes tightly, and snaps open to reveal a mirror inside the lid, and a decent sized circle of the blush, which has 3 different pinks which are mottled together slightly but still defined. It's a very, very pretty blush to look at. The three pinks are a barbie pink, a darker fuchsia, and a softer candy pink.

This blush wants to be on your face. The merest tap of my brush on the disc collects gorgeous colour, and the colour transfers to skin beautifully, where it can be blended, tempered with face powder....whatever you're looking for. It's intensely pigmented and can be altered in shade slightly depending on what you're wanting, because the three pinks are distinctly different.

This wears well on my skin, and cleans easily off my face and brush with my usual cleansing products. The powder isn't chalky, but rather is well-milled and only ends up where you want it to be. Very very impressive.

The only reason I've given this 4, not 5, is that it would be disastrous in the wrong hands - very easy to go overboard when something is this bright, and it wouldn't suit everyone's tastes because of that. I love it though - it actually rivals my Too Faced blush to be honest!

This has to be my go to blush. It is wonderful it has a bronze tone a pink tone and a white tone all in the one compact which you swirl together and it creates a blush in the shade of all kinds of awesomeness. It is super pigmented so this compact has lasted a long time and still no pan in sight ive also selectively used only the brown part for bronzer in desperate times and that sufficed also awesomely priced for such a versatile product and it even has a wee mirror inside it was happy with this

"Shoot to thrill" was my first ever blush and is still in my collection today. I love this colour a lot . It gives my cheeks a beautiful flushed natural appearance, it blends perfectly

I seriously love Australis cosmetics. I first started using their products in high school and I still check their makeup stand religiously. My favourite is their blush in the shade "Shoot to Thrill" and I've repurchased many times. I originally stole this blush off my mum - so thank you mum for introducing me to it! ;) Shoot to Thrill is quite a bright blush but not so bright that its in your face and crazy. I love using this when I go for a nude lip just to add a bit more warmth to my face. It's a gorgeous matte blush and super blend-able. It's mosaic so you have a few different shades but I just swirl mine around the whole pan and tap off the excess. The packaging is a good sturdy quality - none of my blushes have ever smashed when I've dropped them! This lush will last you a very long time too which I love!

I was trying out some Australis products because I remember my first time of using their eyeliner and I loved that product. So this time, I thought of trying out this product. The word "paparazzi" caught my eye, it reminded me of Lady Gaga's song and I thought to myself that if I try this product I might feel like a celebrity with cameras on me! How delusional right? Sometimes I imagine how a product will look and feel when I use it. Anyway down right to this product, this is a two thumbs up blush in my opinion. It covers all the wants and needs that you want a blush to have. I should mention that I got this in colour "poser" because of the colours.

It is highly pigmented, I was so shocked when a dab my brush slightly and applied this product on my face - it gave my face a slap of redness and of course a block of bronze! However, I eventually learned to only use a little bit and blend the product. I love how this blush has multiple colours, because I also use this as a bronzer or contour. This product is so versatile, I reckon if you are brave, it is possible for this to become an eyeshadow, however I have not tried that yet. I love the shimmer effect of this product as well. I just love shimmer - it adds party and class and glamour! So for me this product is a blusher, bronzer and a high lighter! Other than being versatile, I also like the fact that is has jojoba oil and grapeseed oil to "lock in skin moisture" so I do not particularly find this product drying! This product also has a reasonable longevity. It lasted for a good few hours on my face. Since this product is highly pigmented and lasts a while and it isn't flaky or easily crumbled, therefore it lasted for a while in my makeup bag. I recommend this product and I wish they still make these so I can try the other colours which I was meaning to buy.

I really did like this blush, but I think the shade I picked was a bit too bright for my liking, it was so bloody pigmented! and since its kinda mosaic, you can make a few different colours with it. I found it to be a bit powdery but nothing you can't work with

I have this blush in the shade "screen siren" and love it! It is a dusty pink colour, and when applied to the skin gives my olive skin a natural glow. Only a small amount is needed for a natural look, and the colour can be built up to suit your preference. This blush would suit all skin tones as it is multi coloured, which allows you to blend colours together or only use certain shades depending on your skin tone. I love that this blush is not shimmery and highlights the skin really well. It also doesn't stick to my pores or make them more noticeable as some blushers do! This blush does not fade or wear off during the day, and I find I always reach for this product when I am wanting a more pigmented/stand out pop of colour to my cheeks. I have had this blush for 5-6 months and it looks like I haven't used much at all! Definitely reccomend this blush as it is affordable and lasts a very long time x
