Impressive organic makeup that works like a charm: ZAO Makeup Review

This is my highlighter secret. Surprisingly, it's an organic vegan brand with high awareness for the nature. I actually haven't heard about it until I tried it myself. ZAO Makeup comes from ZEN and TAO based on Buddhism. ZAO comes from France but makeup is made entirely in Europe. Every bamboo packaging is refillable which helps to save additional money when purchasing the same or different refill. Neat. Now let's see the magic I'm talking about...

SLO

Končno je zunaj moja osvetljevalna skrivnost. Že nekaj časa vas dražim na Instagramu z najlepšim osvetljevalcem, kar jih mora zbirka premore. Ampak ta osvetljevalec ni ''kar en'' osvetljevalec, ampak je del ekološko naravnanih organskih ZAO ličil. Ne samo da je znamka popolnoma naravna, organska in veganska, ZAO ljubi naravo in se izogiba odvečne plastike. Bambusova embalaža da ZAO poseben šik pridih, francoska znamka pa zagotavlja vrhunsko evropsko izdelavo. Vsaka bambusova embalaža se lahko ponovno uporabi, saj lahko pri ZAO kupite pol cenejša polnila ličil. Dosti besed, naj vam pokažem pravo organsko čarobnost...

The best ZAO product...

ZAO Highlighter is top knotch. Creamy texture easily blends into the skin, leaving you looking like an angel. I mean, just look at that cheek glow! Words cannot describe my love towards ZAO Highlighter as it's truly astonishing. Everything is so well thought out - from texture, blendability, pigmentation and final ethereal glow. It's a highlighter with a statement. Compared to others in my collection, ZAO is more finely milled, more pigmented and the prettiest on the skin. It's really close to cult The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer but even better. Highly, highly recommend! Same gorgeous texture goes with ZAO Blush. I've picked up 323 Dark Purple which is a beautiful cool natural pink. It's perfect on light skintones, not too heavy or too dark. Again, rich smooth texture is what makes this blush precious. ZAO makeup is really strong in face department as I haven't touched something so smooth for a while now. Yes, the price will hurt a bit at first - about 24€ with bamboo packaging - but it's surely worthy of your money. I'm confident to say that you will want a refill as soon as you run out.

ZAO Osvetljevalec je pesem angelov. Osvetljevalec ima namreč čudovito kremno teksturo, ki se stopi na ličkih kot pesem. Enostavno se počutim lepo ko imam na sebi takšen prefinjen sijaj. Besede ne morejo izraziti moje ljubezni do ZAO osvetljevalca. Vse je tako skrbno načrtovano in niti eden aspekt ne razočara - tekstura, pigmentiranost in obstojnost so odlični. Če bi ga ocenjevala na podlagi moje zbirke je to vsekakor najbolj sijoč, najbolj univerzalen in najlepši osvetljevalec. Če ljubite kultni The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer, potem bo ta presegel pričakovanja. Zelo priporočam! Odlično teksturo imajo tudi ZAO rdečila, ki se kar stopijo s kožo. Moj odtenek je 323 Dark Purple, ki nežno poudari moja svetla lička in doda hladen a nevtralen roza ton. Tekstura in zabrisovanje sta dve odliki, ki ju zelo cenim. Cena bo na začetku višja - izdelek je okoli 24€ vključno z embalažo - vendar bodo polnila nato polovične cene. Sem 100% prepričana, da boste želeli ŠE, ko boste porabili prvo ponvico izdelka.

What about matte organic lipsticks?

ZAO makeup is ultra trendy and nothing can stop this beautiful vegan brand. Is this first legit matte and organic lipstick? Maybe. ZAO came out with 6 Matte nude lipsticks that are speaking to nude lovers. Colors are really unique, especially my darkest pick 437 Aubergine. The shade is actually close to NYX Lingerie Embellishment. It's a combo of violet, grey and brown. In term of the finish, it's truly matte. Actually, it is slightly chalky and drying but still easily wearable compared to other drying liquid mattes. There is no specific scent and packaging is refillable.

ZAO makeup ne more ustaviti nič, sledi celo trendom ličil. ZAO Mat šminke v 6 ''nude'' odtenkih so novost med organsko kozmetiko. Izbrana 437 Aubergine je požela ogromno pohval, saj je poseben odtenek vijole, sive, rjave in nude. Aubergine je zelo podoben popularni NYX Lingerie Embellishment šminki. ZAO Mat šminke imajo popolno mat prekrivanje, vendar so po teksturi malce presuhe za moj okus. Čeprav ustnic ne izsušijo kot tekoče šminke, je še vedno prisoten malce ''kredast'' občutek. Šminke niso odišavljene in se lahko kupijo po polovični ceni kot polnilo.

Where to find and buy ZAO?

I'm certainly not the only one who loves the effect and performance of ZAO makeup. You can read more about ZAO makeup on Bonita Lavi. We all agree that the ZAO highlighter is truly a brand's highlight which outpreforms many similar high end products. In Slovenia, we have ZAO Makeup in bigger drugstores (Nama) and organic stores.

Vsekakor nisem edina, ki je čisto nora na ZAO osvetljevalec. Več o njem si lahko preberete tudi na Bonita Lavi blogu. Obe se strinjava, da ZAO osvetljevalec prekaša marsikaterega kompanjona. ZAO Makeup lahko najdete v spletni trgovini Eko pleme, v Nami in večjih bio trgovinah po Sloveniji.
