Australis Primer Review

I bought this primer from Farmers as it caught my eye whilst looking at other Australis products and I couldn't resist buying it to try due to the price. The product comes in a simple white tube that is extremely convenient to use. The tube squeezes out a perfect amount of primer at a time. It isn't like other primers I have used that are too runny and squirt out too much. This is a plus for me, as it means a lot less waste and makes the product last longer.

The primer itself is a weird, silicone feeling consistency. It isn't sticky, but not creamy either. I found it quite difficult to apply as it dried within seconds and afterwards my face felt like I hadn't applied any primer at all. It's like it just disappeared! It also had a strange smell, which didn't make the product too pleasant to use, especially on top of the consistency.

I found that it didn't enhance the wear of my make up at all, and actually decreased the condition of my foundation. It made my foundation look blotchy and patchy which has not happened with other primers I have used. I found that without this product, my make up lasted the same amount of time and I didn't have the patchy look either.

I have tried this product by itself and also tried it after using a couple of different moisturisers, and have had the same results no matter what. I do have a dry skin, so that may be the reason it doesn't work for me, but despite the cheap price I won't be buying this product again.

I don't mind it as a everyday primer, it is rather runny and I'm not a fan of the smell. I don't think it does much apart from adding moisture for smooth application of foundation. It does not fill in any lines or pores but saying all that I do still use it

For days that I want my makeup to last longer I will apply the australis primer then use my NP set liquid veil over then mineral powder

I would not buy it again when it runs out

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
