Where I got it: I was sent this from Za for consideration. Za products are available from Life Pharmacies, Makeup Direct, Japan Mart and Unichem. Available from 12th October 2015, Case RRP$10, Refill RRP$25.
What I got: I was sent the Za Airy Flawless Powder in shade BO10. This powder foundation has the benefits of a liquid foundation specially formulated into a powder to create a long-lasting, velvet-matte finish. The ultra-fine powder is infused with the essence of vitamin E and Rose-hip oil to increase brightness and softness. Za Airy Flawless Powder protects skin against sun damage and harmful UV rays with SPF20 PA++. Za Airy Flawless Powder Foundation contains ‘Anti-Shine Powder’ and ‘Colour Stay Pigment’ for a long lasting anti-shine effect. Seamlessly achieve a natural silky finish with the weightless powder. Za Airy Flawless Powder Foundation refills are available in 9 different shades! New 2-sided sponge is convenient for both full makeup and touch-ups. Sponge Surface for coverage and the puff surface is for touch-ups.
How I find it: I love the packaging of all Za products, they are just so pretty and good quality! The compact and powder is sold separately and each powder comes with a separate sponge applicator so it is really hygienic as well. I just pop the refill out along with the individually wrapped sponge and put it into the compact and it’s ready to use! I like to apply a primer first then I use the sponge side to apply the foundation on my skin. The other side of the sponge is a velvet puff surface that is great for touch-up as it is soft and airy and won’t drag existing foundation on the skin. When on the go, I blot then hydrate with a face spray then I reapply foundation.
Overall: This powder foundation is great for combination to oily skin – the finish is naturally matte and it does not look cakey. I would say this is a light to medium coverage that feel very lightweight on the skin. The dual-sided sponge is great for on-the-go touch ups or even full face application! The compact is sturdy and it has a large mirror inside. One of the best thing is that it has SPF 20+++ because you will need to reapply sunscreen during the day, but who would go and apply liquid sunscreen over foundation and powder?? A powder foundation with SPF is exactly what you need.
