A few ideas

• Apply this mica as is for a golden orange eyeshadow.

• Can also be used mixed with a base such as coated cosmetic talc or sericite to formulate loose or pressed powder eyeshadows (diluting it in the carrier softens the shade), possibly in combination with other coloured micas or mineral oxides to create your own shades.

• Create your own eyeshadow duos, for example Golden Orange Mica / Purple Shadow Mica

• Use as a gloss for a touch of golden light in the center of the lips, for example on brown lipstick.

• Try sprinkling it on your cold-processed soaps for an attractive touch of gold or for a golden satin marbling effect on the surface.

Quick recipe from Aroma-Zone

In a mini powder compact:

Aroma-Zone Tip

For a more intense effect: apply black pencil to the upper eyelid, blend with a brush, then apply the mica as desired.

Orange Sequin Mica can be used as is as a "quick" eyeshadow or to add a touch of light to the décolletage, cheekbones, etc. This cosmetic mica can be used dispersed in a powder mixture or suspended in creams, milks, gels, glosses, balms, and sticks. It can be used in more fluid products (shower gels, oils) but will tend to settle at the bottom, so you will need to shake it to achieve the glitter effect.

• Powder mixtures: incorporate the mica as is at the end of preparation. For compacted powders, it can be ground in a coffee grinder or mortar at the end of preparation for a short time so as not to break the mother-of-pearl.

• Emulsions, oils, glosses, gels (including eyeliners), foaming products: Add the mica as is at the end of preparation.

• Solid oil-based mixtures (balms, lipsticks, pencils): Add the mica to the melted mixture at the end of preparation and mix well to disperse it evenly.

Orange Sequin Mica can be used to create a wide range of shades:

• A gradient of pearly orange tones, or gold tones, alone or in combination with Shiny White Mica and/or Gold Mica

• Warm brown and golden brown tones, in combination with Hazelnut Mica, Bronze Mica, and/or Brown Oxide

• Terracotta tones mixed with brown oxide

• Coral, salmon, and peach tones, mixed with Copper Mica and/or Nude Beige Mica

• Khaki tones mixed with vintage green shadow mica
