Recently I won a giveaway from Smack Bang Beauty with lots of Australis goodies in it! One of the prizes included the Australis Fresh & Flawless Foundation which promises to treat skin while giving it a shine free medium to full coverage at the same time. So.. does it?
Shade Natural Fawn, RRP $12.95AUD. |
Swatch. |
Blended in. |
I can't tell you whether it clears skin yet as I've only started wearing it. However, it does give a medium coverage (easily buildable to full). It does leave a matte finish (I'm currently wearing it without powder and it's still matte). As you can see in the above swatch, it does start to darken as it sets so maybe keep that in mind if you're wanting to purchase. I can say however that this doesn't look orange on me at all and I've worn it for a few hours now!
"It contains Vitamin E which acts as a powerful antioxidant, moisturises skin from within and enhances skin smoothness and Allantoin which reduces inflammation and protects the skin from environmental pollutants."
The only thing I don't like, and this is what I experienced with the Mineral Inject Foundation from Australis too, is that the formula feels sticky, so it's a bit harder to blend and I would definitely recommend using a sponge or your fingers to apply this as it tends to stick to brush hair very easily.
I give Australis Fresh & Flawless Foundation a rating of;
4/5
Thanks so much to Steph for the lovely prizes! It's so nice to win something especially after holding a giveaway myself :)
