Description and Key Features

The "Wood" Pearl Mica is a finely milled mineral powder that delivers a breathtaking interplay of color and light. Its primary component is Mica, a naturally occurring mineral known for its excellent light-reflecting properties, combined with Iron Oxides to achieve its unique light brown hue. The magic truly lies in its golden, sparkling shimmer, which creates a luminous, almost ethereal effect, reminiscent of warm wood tones catching the sunlight.

Key characteristics that make this pigment a must-have:

• Distinctive Color & Shimmer: A warm, light brown base infused with brilliant golden sparkles creates a sophisticated and natural-looking radiance.
• Non-Dissolving Pigment: It works by suspending in or adhering to the medium, allowing it to provide intense color and shimmer without altering the base's properties.
• Superior Quality: Sourced from England, ensuring high purity, consistent particle size, and vibrant color payoff.
• Unlimited Shelf Life: A stable, inorganic pigment that maintains its quality indefinitely under proper storage conditions.
• Versatile Concentration: Can be used from a subtle hint at 1% to a full-on, intense color at 100%, offering complete creative control.

Cosmetic Recipe: "Golden Forest Glow" Luminous Loose Eyeshadow

Create a stunning, multi-purpose loose eyeshadow that delivers an enchanting golden-brown shimmer, perfect for daily wear or glamorous looks.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Ensure all your equipment (grinder/mortar and pestle, spatulas, sifter, containers) is thoroughly sanitized using isopropyl alcohol. Allow everything to air dry completely.
2. Weigh Ingredients: Accurately weigh all powdered ingredients into a clean, dry bowl.
3. Combine & Grind/Mix: Add the "Wood" Pearl Mica, Magnesium Stearate, Silica Microspheres (or Kaolin Clay), and Sericite Mica to a dedicated cosmetic grinder, clean coffee grinder (used only for cosmetics), or a mortar and pestle.
4. Thorough Blending: Pulse or grind the mixture for several minutes until all ingredients are uniformly combined and the powder is very fine and lump-free. The goal is to evenly disperse the "Wood" Pearl Mica.
5. Sift (Optional but Recommended): For a smoother, more refined product, sift the finished powder through a fine mesh sieve into another clean container. This helps remove any remaining clumps.
6. Add Preservative (If using, for moisture-prone environments): If you anticipate moisture exposure or want extended shelf life, you can lightly mist a small amount of liquid preservative (diluted with alcohol) over the powder and re-grind, or ensure your work environment is completely dry. For dry powders, a preservative is often optional but good practice.
7. Final Transfer: Carefully transfer the loose eyeshadow into a clean, sterile cosmetic jar with a sifter insert.

Recommendations for Use:

• Versatile Application: Use the "Golden Forest Glow" loose eyeshadow dry for a softer look, or apply wet with a damp brush for an intensified metallic effect. It can also be used as a highlighter on cheekbones or as a body shimmer.
• Blending: Its fine consistency ensures excellent blendability, allowing for seamless transitions between colors.
• Layering: Can be layered over eyeshadow primers for enhanced color payoff and longevity.
• Safety: Always conduct a patch test on a small area of skin before full application, especially if you have sensitive skin. Avoid direct contact with eyes, and if irritation occurs, discontinue use.
• Storage: Store the loose eyeshadow in a cool, dry place, sealed tightly to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect its texture and performance.
• Color Intensity: The "Wood" Pearl Mica allows for full control over color intensity. For a bolder look, apply more product. For a sheer wash of shimmer, use a light hand.
• Non-Dissolving Nature: Remember that this pigment will suspend or coat, not dissolve. This is key to its shimmering effect. When mixing into liquids (like nail polish), ensure constant shaking or stirring to maintain even distribution.
