Zao Blush Sticks are a cream blush in stick format, featuring intense pigmentation with a creamy texture that is easy to apply and blend. Perfect to achieve glowing skin, and for those with dry or mature skin, these new blush sticks glide over skin for a perfect finish. Organic castor oil and organic jojoba oil are used for their softening and regenerative properties. This product can be also be used on lips for a light and subtle colour.
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 for purchase separately for gifting purposes.
Ingredients highlight:
Organic castor oil: Thus oil has softening and regenerative properties to soothe delicate skin that is prone to dryness. Ricinoleic acid, an active component of castor oil, is reputed to inhibit microbe growth and so this ingredient has purifying properties.
Organic jojoba oil: Its calming and softening properties leave skin feeling nourished but not greasy, penetrating easily into skin to offer protection against dehydration and wrinkles. This ingredient reinforces skin’s hydrophilic film and regulates sebum.
Organic carnauba wax: This ingredient, which comes from secretions of palm trees native to Brazil, is a film-forming agent that protects skin with a continuous film, as well as making makeup last longer.
How to Use: Apply the Blush Stick before or after applying powder, depending on desired finish. For a glowing effect, apply after compact powder and blend with a blender sponge or fingers. Apply directly to cheeks with a smoothing motion to blend. For a long-lasting matt effect, apply foundation and/or concealer first, then smooth the Blush Stick onto cheeks and blend with blender sponge or fingers. Finally, powder with Mineral Silk or Compact Powder to create a long-lasting matt effect.
