Zao's 100% Natural, Mineral Silk Powder. Refillable to avoid waste. 

Mineral Silk is a natural powder foundation that's 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 Sublim'Soft, it is non-comodegenic and suitable for all skin types. This matt foundation is applied with a kabuki brush and worked into skin to create a flawless, natural finish. Mineral Silk is a talc free powder. 

Provides light coverage.

Net Weight: 15gr

Sample Pot; Approx sufficient for one whole application: Delivery charges are not applied to sample pots. Due to limited availability samples are restricted to registered account holders only. A maximum of 1 sample per shade, per customer. 

Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne prone.

Mineral silk powder, is free from parabens (synthetic preservatives), using instead micronised silver as an effective and non-toxic preservative. Zao does not use nanoparticles in their products, with the micronised silver being larger than nanoparticle size, making ZAO products safe and free from toxic preservatives.

Zao products can only be delivered to the UK and Ireland only.

Instructions: 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.

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, use a two tones darker Mineral Silk as blush.

• 501 is a yellow-based Mineral Foundation Powder that suits those with fair complexions and neutral or yellow undertones to skin.
• 502 suits those with a fair complexion and cool undertones.
• 504 suits those with a medium complexion and neutral undertones.
• 509 suits those with fair skin and a yellow undertone.
• 510 suits those with medium skin with a golden/yellow undertone.

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.

If you look good in any of these colours, then your skin is likely to have neutral/mixed undertones. If unsure, check the veins on your arms, as those with cool-toned complexions have blue or purple veins, whilst those with warm complexions tend to have green veins, and if you cannot decide, then you most likely have neutral undertones.
