Mineral Silk is a true powder foundation. Easy to use, with a light, natural coverage that suits those who do not wish to look overly ‘made-up’ or whom prefer a natural ‘no makeup’ look. What makes it original is its ease of use. Applied on top of moisturiser or primer such as Zao’s Prim’Soft or Prim’Light, it is non-comedogenic and suitable for all skin types. This matt foundation powder is applied with a kabuki brush and worked into skin to create a flawless, natural finish. It is talc-free, as are all our powders.
Please note that shades 509 and 510 are being discontinued, and as such refills have sold out. The bamboo version of these references is therefore discounted.
Packaged in a unique, varnished bamboo case, Zao makeup is both a beautiful gift and an item to treasure. Existing customers, please note that we are phasing out our bamboo pouches in which our products were packaged, in order to further reduce waste. These will be phased out as current stocks deplete, but they are now available here for purchase separately for gifting purposes.
Coverage: Light
Ingredients Highlight:
Organic corn starch: The organic corn starch is a vegetable support allowing a better adhesion of the powder on skin, and thus longer-lasting makeup.
Bamboo powder: It is a white substance extracted from the joints of bamboo. Thanks to its high silica content, it remineralises, hydrates and participates in the regeneration of your skin while reducing the shine of combination and oily skin.
Use moisturiser before applying Mineral Silk. Pour some powder through the sieve into the lid of the bamboo pot. Then apply light pressure while turning the kabuki brush on the powder to fill the bristles. Lightly tap the kabuki to remove excess powder before applying to the face in a circular motion.
Beauty tip: Just like the compact powders, Mineral Silk also helps set the make-up for a stronger hold. To enhance your complexion, after applying your tone, you can use a two tones darker Mineral Silk as blush.
