The use of eyeshadow can change your eyes by playing with their shape and size. Combining colours can intensify and make the eyes more sensual. Match your refills for multiple options. For a matt look with extra sparkle, try no. 204 golden old pink and 205 dark purple; they include a touch of glitter. Note that all of our powders are talc-free.
*This range is being discontinued in favour of our hugely popular rectangle refill eyeshadows. All eyeshadow shades have now been produced in the rectangle range.

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 that our products were packaged in (except glass bottle foundations and primers), 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.
ZAO Ingredients Highlight:
Organic rice powder: Rice powder is one of the oldest cosmetic ingredients. It has the ability to mattify skin without clogging the pores by adjusting the secretion of sebum.
Vegetal Squalene: Extracted from olive oil, vegetable Squalene is a derivative of squalene, which is a natural component of human sebum. Its excellent affinity with the skin, due to its similarity with natural cutaneous lipids, and its emollient properties make it an ideal active ingredient. It strengthens the cutaneous hydrolipidic barrier, softens the skin and protects it from dehydration.
Organic flaxseed oil: Rich in unsaturated fatty acids (omega 6 and omega 3) and vitamins (A, E B, K), this oil is very nourishing and regenerating. Thanks to the macromolecules it contains, it helps maintain the water in the epidermis and significantly improves its hydration and elasticity.
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.
Matt eyeshadow is recommended for a natural or “nude” effect as well as an intense or “smoky eye” effect. The pleasant texture makes using it fresh and simple. Apply the lighter colour over the entire eyelid using a sponge applicator. Apply a medium intensity eyeshadow on the outer corner of the eye and under the brow with an orbit brush. Finish with a thin line of dark eyeshadow along the contour of your eye, use an angled brush to intensify your eyes.
Beauty tip: For an elongated, intense look, use a clear matt eyeshadow on the entire eyelid. Then using a damp angled brush, apply a dark matt shade as eyeliner. From the inner corner of the eye, follow the curve of the upper eyelashes towards the outer corner. This will open up your eyes.
