Today we bring you a review of what I honestly believe to be one of the best loose powders on the budget beauty market - the Australis Ready Set Go Finishing powder.
You get a very decent amount of product for the affordable price of AUD12.95. The powder is very very fine and comes in sleek black and white packaging. The idea is same as with most loose powders - you put a small amount of powder into the lid and use a brush to apply it. I personally use a small dome-shaped fluffy brush with natural bristles but I'm sure it would work just as well with a synthetic brush.
The powder is so fine I find it doesn't settle in any of the fine lines once applied and does not cake up no matter what foundation it is used over. Since my skin is not particularly oily normally I only tend to use this powder to seal in the concealer, particularly under the eyes and over blemishes. In summer to ensure my skin stays matte I'll also apply it lightly over the t-zone.
Pros:
- it does keep makeup in place very nicely;
- it is quite long-lasting;
- it is a true translucent powder and will work for any skin tone;
- the relatively small jar will last you a long time as you only need a small amount of powder at a time;
- great value for money.
Cons:
- it gets messy quite quickly - the product easily spills into the lid when the lid is on;
- you want to make sure you use a small amount and blend the powder well after you dust it on - otherwise it does leave white residue;
- this powder probably won't completely take the shine away on oily skin - then again, it doesn't set out to fulfill that task!
Take care my lovelies, and I hope your day is going along nicely today :)
