Mica Magenta 100 g

A rich cool-toned pigment built for studio-scale color work

This deep pink-magenta powder with a soft pearlescent shimmer belongs to the broad Mica Powders category, which brings together mineral pigments used to color a wide range of materials. The 100 gram jar is aimed at small studios and growing handmade brands rather than one-off trials: it covers several production runs of decorative cosmetics, resin pieces, or candle lines without constant restocking, making it a practical choice once a maker has moved past the sampling stage.

The most common use of Magenta mica worldwide is decorative cosmetics: eyeshadows, blushes, lipsticks, lip glosses, highlighters and bronzers. The pigment delivers a saturated color with a gentle pearl sheen and disperses smoothly in oil or wax bases without clumping when introduced correctly. A second major application is epoxy resin art, including jewelry casting, coasters, wall art and river tables, where the pigment holds its color well after curing and resists fading under light exposure. Polymer clay work is another strong use case, where the mica is kneaded into the clay to create a shimmering, shifting surface on handmade accessories.

In candle making, the pigment is dusted onto finished surfaces or blended into the top layer of wax to add a decorative sparkle. In soap crafting a small amount of mica is sometimes used to create swirls and color streaks on the bar surface, though this remains a secondary rather than primary use of the product. Bath bombs, slime kits and homemade paint projects also rely on mica for reliable, non-fading color.

Dosage depends on the application: eyeshadows and blushes typically need about 1 to 5 percent of the base weight, epoxy resin projects usually call for 0.5 to 3 grams per 100 grams of resin depending on the desired intensity, and wax blends generally use up to one teaspoon per kilogram of melt. The pigment should be added once the base is melted but before it starts to thicken, since active stirring in a warm mass helps distribute the particles evenly. For water-based emulsions, pre-dispersing the mica in a small amount of oil gives a smoother result.

Magenta mica pairs well with other shades from the same line, allowing makers to build gradients and custom palettes. Blending it with White & Red Mica warms up the pink tone, while combining it with Sky Blue Mica opens up violet and lilac transitions useful for multichrome effects. For softer, spring-inspired collections it is often paired with Mica Breath of Spring for a more pastel finish.

The pigment should be stored in a dry place away from direct sunlight, in a tightly sealed container, to keep it free of moisture and outside particles. Under these conditions it retains its color intensity and workability for a long period.
