This mica can be dispersed in powder mixtures or suspended in creams, milks, gels, soaps, balms and sticks. It can also be used in more fluid products, such as shower gels or oils, but may settle at the bottom and will need to be shaken before use to achieve the desired shimmering effect.
Powder mixtures: Add the mica as it is at the end of the preparation. For pressed powders, it can be ground briefly in a coffee grinder or mortar at the end of the preparation, taking care not to damage the pearlescent particles.
Emulsions and gels: Add the mica as it is at the end of the preparation.
Oily and wax-based mixtures such as balms and lipsticks: Add the mica as it is at the end of the preparation and mix thoroughly to ensure even dispersion.

Supplier documentation
Perfect in its pure form for coloring eyelids and creating depth, and to add to tinted cream for a luminous finish. Excellent hold and no contraindications.
Interesting without titanium dioxide and without glitter, but minimal coverage
I use it on its own, applying a few glittery touches to my eyelids with a brush. Pretty! I plan to incorporate some into a body oil this summer to add a little shine.
Too dark for me
The mica color is incredible and adds a darker, very pleasing touch to eyeshadow or lipsticks.
