In Soap Making:

• Melt and Pour Soaps: Easily blend into melted soap bases to create visually stunning soaps with a deep bordeaux shimmer. It suspends beautifully, ensuring even distribution of the pearlescent effect.
• Cold Process Soaps: Can be added to the trace phase to impart a vibrant, shimmery color, creating unique swirls and designs within the soap.

Cosmetic Recipe: Shimmering Bordeaux Liquid Eyeliner

This recipe will create a dazzling liquid eyeliner that glides smoothly and leaves a vibrant, pearlescent finish.

Instructions:

1. In a clean, sterile beaker, combine the ingredients from Phase A (Distilled Water, Vegetable Glycerin, Xanthan Gum). Stir thoroughly with a mini-mixer or whisk until the xanthan gum is fully hydrated and there are no lumps (this may take a few minutes). Let it sit for 15-20 minutes to fully thicken.
2. In a separate small container, combine the ingredients from Phase B (Liquid Pearlescent Pigment "Bordeaux" and Black Iron Oxide). Mix well to create a uniform pigment blend.
3. Slowly add the pigment blend from Phase B to the thickened water phase (Phase A) while continuously mixing. Use a high-shear mixer or an electric frother to ensure the pigments are perfectly dispersed and the color is consistent.
4. Once the mixture is uniform, add the ingredients from Phase C (Preservative, Dispersant, Isododecane). Mix well again until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
5. Carefully transfer the finished liquid eyeliner into a clean, sterile eyeliner tube with an applicator brush.

Application Recommendations:

Shake the eyeliner tube well before each use to ensure the pearlescent pigment is evenly dispersed. Apply the Shimmering Bordeaux Liquid Eyeliner along your lash line for a dramatic and vibrant look. For a more subtle effect, apply a thin line. Build up layers for increased intensity and shimmer. Remove with a gentle eye makeup remover. Store in a cool, dark place.
