WHY WE LOVE IT!

This compact foundation is perfect for anyone who’s looking to achieve a natural complexion with medium to full coverage.

We love the creamy smooth texture of this foundation, and it has a mattifying effect to cancel out any shiny areas.

ZAO Compact Foundation is a true skin care product, containing silica powder, bamboo powder and bamboo rhizome oil, all of which are rich in silica and so regenerate skin.

The packaging’s fab too! It’s packaging in a unique, varnished bamboo case and presented in a bamboo pouch, which makes it perfect for gifts.

WHY SWAP?

This product is totally free from talc and parabens (synthetic preservatives), using instead micronised silver as an effective and non-toxic preservative. ZAO doesn’t use nanoparticles in their products, with the micronised silver being larger than nanoparticle size, making their products safe and free from nasty toxic chemical preservatives.

By swapping to refillable makeup you can help reduce your waste too! Love this foundation? Check out our refills here.

WHICH SHADE IS RIGHT FOR ME?

• 730 Ivory suits those with fair complexions and neutral undertones, though it can be used by those with cool undertones to tone down pinkness of skin if preferred.
• 732 Rose Petal suits those with medium complexions and cool, pink undertones.
• 733 Neutral suits those with medium complexions and neutral undertones.
• 737 Bronze suits those with dark complexions and warm, orange/red undertones.
• 739 Carob suits those with dark complexions.

If you suit colours like gold, copper, bronze, orange-reds and earthy tones, then your skin is likely to have peach, yellow or golden undertones and so would suit a warm-toned foundation.

If you suit colours like magenta, silver, grey, blue-red or jewel tones, then your skin is likely to have cool undertones with pink, red or blue undertones and so would suit a cool-toned or neutral foundation.

If you prefer to disguise pink tones to your skin, then a neutral-toned foundation would achieve that.
