Verdict

It's texturally different to all my other foundations. It's thicker, oily when first applied.
Once applied you need to be a speedy blender... the foundation itself is difficulty to blend, I found that blotting it on my face and blending it with a flat top brush works ok.

If you use a regular foundation brush you might end up seeing streaks on your face. I have dry skin and it gives me some shine when applied, I look somewhat oily right after application.

Product provides a light - medium coverage, build-able. The foundation is quite good at hiding smaller blemishes - it's sort of like a dryer, slightly less blendable version of a BB cream.

However, within hours the foundation would've removed all moisture on my face and my skin would flake. It's ok to use during warm/hot weather. This product is definitely not recommended for people with very skin to use during cooler days.


Application




Right side- no foundation. Left- Australis foundation blended

Repurchase?
Probably not - I don't feel this foundation provides enough moisture for dry skin :(
