Australis Paparazzi Perfect HD Foundation Review

Hello!

Some of you may have heard already but if not I will explain. Australis has recently released a new Paparazzi Perfect collection.

The collection includes eyeshadows, blush, tinted moisturiser and of course the HD foundation which I will be reviewing today.

The reason why I picked this up is I have been wanting to try a HD foundation but wanted something on the more reasonably priced side so of course I jumped at this the moment it came out.

First impressions: It has a really great easy to spread consistency covers nicely and is very easily buildable. The main thing that impressed me with this was it felt like I wasn't wearing any foundation and it looked so natural and flawless. I get some dryness on my skin and have been using MAC studiofix fluid but when i put that on it accentuates every single flaw and makes me look so bad I was better off with no makeup on.
But with this is didn't draw any attention to those areas and smoothed every so well.

Rundown: I got the shade Nude which actually fits me perfectly and I sometimes have trouble finding foundations that fit my skin colour as I am quite pale.
As much as I love this foundation it isn't the greatest for keeping oily skin at bay so I do find I have to blot with it but I am really used to doing that as my skin is on the oily side within my T-zone.

What the website says:
What is it The intelligent mix of High Definition balancing pigments with their amazing light reflecting properties creates flawless even skin perfection under any light. Combined with White Sapphire soft focus pigments, skin tone appears smooth, and imperfections are corrected. Vitamin E and calendula oil assist to moisturise and soothe the skin.

Why we love it Fear the camera flash no more! A flawless, smooth complexion is achieved in any light. It provides a medium to heavy coverage with a subtly dewy finish.

Pros: Applies easily blends well and very buildable
Very reasonably priced

Cons: Limited Shade range (5 currently available) As this is a new collection I am unsure if Australis will be bringing out more colours in the future.
Not available online


Overall: I am impressed with this foundation and will continue to use it for everyday use.

I hope you found this review helpful HD foundation video review
