Description
The Light Touch Complexion illuminates the shadows, sculpts, redefines and rejuvenates your skin. It can be used to highlight and define your face by applying to areas that catch the light, or alternatively as a light-reflecting concealer for under eyes. With its light texture, it is very easy to apply and work with your fingertips.
Light Touch Complexion gives your skin a youthful glow, rejuvenating your complexion with light-reflecting properties. It brings out and enhances your eye colour. It can be used alone or underneath makeup. Sculpting your face and illuminating contours, it also highlights and defines cheekbones. It also highlights the contour of lips. It should not be confused with a traditional concealer because it illuminates shadows with its light reflecting properties, but is translucent so does not mask them. Use Zao concealer stick to cover dark circles before application if needed.
Shades:
721 suits those with cool or olive complexions
722 suits those with neutral complexions
723 suits those with warm complexions
Packaged in a unique, varnished bamboo case and attractively presented in a bamboo pouch with drawstring, Zao makeup is both a beautiful gift and an item to treasure.
This product, as with all Zao products, 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 petrochemical preservatives.
ZAO Ingredients Highlight:
Organic bamboo hydrosol: Derived from the distillation of bamboo leaves, it purifies combination and acne-prone skin through a matifying action. Moisturising and soothing, it is also beneficial for dry and sensitive skin. Thanks to its high silica content, it leaves a soft touch to skin.
Organic sweet almond oil: Very soft, this oil leaves a velvety appearance and a soft touch to the skin. Emollient, it nourishes the skin and protects it from drying out. Softening and strengthening, it activates the regeneration of the skin. Soothing, it calms itching and irritation.
Organic Jojoba Oil: Calming and softening, this oil penetrates easily into the skin without leaving a greasy feeling. It protects the skin against dehydration and wrinkles. Its dry texture and original composition allows it to strengthen the hydrolipidic film and regulate the sebum flow of oily skin.
Organic shea butter: Shea butter is extracted from shea nuts, a tree growing only in the wild in the savannahs of West Africa. Its fatty acid-rich composition gives it moisturising and nourishing properties.
Instructions for use: Apply with fingers or Zao’s Natural Rubber Sponge (sold separately under ‘accessories’).

A great concealer that is super easy to blend and looks great on the skin. The packaging is sleek and I love the bamboo outer packaging. The only downside is there isn’t much shade choice hence the lower rating. A little pricey for a concealer but the refill is a lot cheaper at £11.97.

Bad shade range. Coverage is barely there. Texture allows creasing, especially in the under eye area. Not even plastic free?? The inner refill section is made of plastic! Although I probably should have checked the size before, this is tiny! The smallest concealer I have ever seen! I could’ve literally forgiven all of that if it had been entirely plastic free but unfortunately I am very dissapointed in this product and will not be buying the refill, meaning I have wasted my money on the outer packaging
ZAO note: This is not a concealer but a light-reflecting illuminator, as we state in the description. We don’t claim our products to be plastic free either as it’s simply not possible with makeup. We are not a plastic free specialist, we offer ethical makeup that is vegan, cruelty free, non-toxic with 100% natural and certified organic ingredients with reduced plastic usage (over 90% reduction versus other brands) and sustainable bamboo where feasible as a replacement.

Love the shape and packaging of this product. I am a massive fan of other Zao products too. For this I just wish it had more coverage – the colour was perfect for a concealer but unfortunately it is not intended for use as one as stated on the website. Love the application stick too. It is a little drying as well which not easy to blend in. So I feel the formula could be improved – you have to blend with your finger the moment you put it on your skin before it dries. Overall not bad and love the colour.
