Australis Primer Review

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

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've been using this primer over the last year now, and generally I'm happy with it. It is definitely moisturising and feels nice on the skin-but it is quite a wet consistency for primer, I tend to prefer a more silicone or "porefessional" type feel. I don't use moisturiser when I use this primer, but the hydration doesn't last unfortunately. However, it does provider a good prep for foundation and does do what it says-foundation doesnt sink into the skin and lasts longer, and it is a lovely finish for blending your products on top of. It definitely doesn't compare to high end products, but for the price it works, and I use it on a daily basis to save my expensive ones for special occasions. I do have quite a few fine lines (you know, head towards 30 and they spring up from nowhere!) and this doesnt make a lot of difference, other than my foundation blending on top of them and not right into them. The packaging is fine, although a little boring, and 40mls of product is a decent amount which lasts well. (I wear maybe 4 days a week and have had this since the beginning of the year). It has very little smell, just a slight cosmeticy whiff. The consistency is like...really wet lotion haha, thats the best i can do to describe that. I think if you're looking for a basic primer to help your foundation, this is great, but if you want extra bells and whistles like pore and fine line minimising, this is not the one.

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!

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.

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 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.

I will only use this primer! I love this product. I purchased this while in Australia and it worked like magic - my foundation stayed on perfect during sweltering hot days and also stayed on rather well during those horrid wet and windy months. I have oily skin and it did not effect the skin in any bad way. I enjoy using this product.

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.

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.
