Instructions for use: compact powder is an essential in your makeup kit to balance oily skin, with ingredients specifically formulated to absorb excess sebum. Apply directly after moisturising. To achieve a natural look, use a powder brush. To cover problem areas, use a sponge to apply the compact powder. Select the same shade as your natural skin tone. If using over foundation, choose a tone slightly lighter than your natural skin tone to brighten your complexion. For a more intense, 'made-up' look, use a sponge for application.

Zao beauty tip: Use compact powder on eyes before applying mascara and eyeliner to achieve a longer-lasting finish without smudging.
