This allows for a myriad of applications where a lustrous finish is desired.

• Flexible Dosage: With a recommended usage rate from 1% to 100%, you have complete control over the intensity of the color and shimmer, from a subtle glow to a highly opaque, metallic finish.

Cosmetic Recipe: "Enchanted Forest" Shimmering Eyeshadow

Create a captivating, loose shimmering eyeshadow with the vibrant "Jungle Pearl" Pearlescent Pigment. This eyeshadow provides intense color payoff and a beautiful sparkle.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitize: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (containers, measuring spoons, spatulas, cosmetic press if using) with isopropyl alcohol and allow them to air dry completely.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a clean, dry container, combine the "Jungle Pearl" Pearlescent Pigment, magnesium stearate, and kaolin clay.
3. Mix Thoroughly (Dry): Using a clean spatula or a small whisk, mix the dry ingredients very well to ensure an even distribution of the binding agents. You can also use a coffee grinder (dedicated solely for cosmetics) for a finer, more uniform blend.
4. Add Liquid Ingredient: Slowly add the isopropyl myristate (IPM), drop by drop, while continuously mixing. The IPM acts as a binder, helping the pigment adhere better to the skin and improving the texture. Mix until a consistent, slightly damp powder is achieved. It should be just enough to bind the powder without making it wet.
5. Press (Optional): If you desire a pressed eyeshadow, transfer the mixture into a clean eyeshadow pan. Place a tissue or pressing screen over the powder and press firmly and evenly with a pressing tool. For loose powder, simply transfer to an airtight jar.
6. Cure (for pressed eyeshadow): Allow the pressed eyeshadow to cure for 24-48 hours in a cool, dry place before use. This helps the binder set and prevents crumbling.
7. Label: Apply a clear and informative label to your finished eyeshadow, including the product name and ingredients.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Versatile Use: This shimmering eyeshadow can be applied dry for a buildable, sparkling effect or wet (with a dampened brush) for a more intense, foiled, and metallic look.
• Blending: The kaolin clay and magnesium stearate help improve the blendability of the pigment, allowing for smooth application and seamless transitions.
• Layering: Experiment with layering the "Jungle Pearl" over different colored eyeshadow bases (e.g., black, brown, or even a lighter green) to create unique and captivating effects.
• Body Shimmer: For a striking body art effect, this pigment can be mixed with a body lotion or a cosmetic mixing medium and applied to the skin.
• Storage: Store the eyeshadow in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its quality and prevent any potential caking.
• Safety: Always ensure your workspace and tools are clean and sanitized when making cosmetics. For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.
