Metallic Burgundy Mica Powder for Cosmetics, 10 g

Rich Wine-Toned Shimmer for Creative Applications

Burgundy metallic mica powder is a finely milled mineral pigment based on mica coated with metal oxides, delivering a deep shifting effect that ranges from wine red to nearly violet depending on the viewing angle. This pigment belongs to the Metallic Mica Powder category, which sees consistent demand from manufacturers of decorative cosmetics, resin crafts, polymer clay projects, and specialty coatings. The 10 gram package suits home cosmetic making and small trial batches perfectly, allowing formulators to test the shade before committing to a larger order. Metallic Burgundy Mica Powder for Cosmetics, 10 g is a cosmetic grade pearlescent pigment suitable for nail and resin projects.

The primary application for burgundy metallic mica powder is decorative cosmetics, where eyeshadows, blushes, highlighters, lipsticks and lip glosses gain a sophisticated deep tone with a shimmering finish. The pigment is also popular in resin jewelry making, candle decoration, bath bombs, and hand-painted art projects. In resin and polymer applications, the powder disperses evenly without clumping when pre-mixed with a small amount of carrier oil or alcohol.

Recommended dosage typically ranges from 0.5 to 3 percent of the total formula weight, depending on the desired color intensity. The pigment should be added at the final stage of production, once the base has cooled to no higher than 60-70 degrees Celsius, to prevent damage to the mica flake structure and preserve the shimmering effect. For emulsions and creams, the powder is introduced during the cool-down phase with thorough mixing until uniform.

Burgundy metallic mica powder pairs well with other shades from the same line, opening possibilities for gradients and color transitions. For instance, blending it with Peach Mica Powder for Cosmetics, 5 g creates warm rosy-wine tones, while combining it with Metallic Golden Mica Powder for Cosmetics, 10 g produces an antique gold effect with a burgundy undertone. It also works nicely alongside Pearlescent White Mica Powder for Cosmetics, 10 g to soften the intensity and add a subtle shimmer without excessive darkness.

Store the pigment in a tightly sealed container, protected from direct sunlight and moisture, at room temperature. Exposure to moisture can cause the particles to clump and reduce the quality of the shifting effect. Under proper storage conditions, the product retains its properties for an extended period without loss of color characteristics.
