This is our sericite silk mica which when used in face powders imparts a soft glow giving the skin that 'dewy' look. Its light reflecting properties reduce the appearance of pores and expression lines giving a more youthful appearance. It's a more translucent powder than our plain sericite and has lower coverage.
In cosmetics Mica is used in a wide variety of applications and is one of the ingredients that can be used in larger proportions in mineral makeup formulations.
Tip: Sericite silk mica can be added to our plain sericite and ground together to produce a finishing powder that will impart a slightly 'dewy' effect to your finished makeup but still retain high coverage. Usage rates will depend on how 'dewy' you want your finished look to be. Start with 2 parts plain sericite to 1 part sericite silk and if you don't achieve the look that you want with these amounts then just increase the sericite silk until the desired lustre is achieved.

‘I formulate for family and friends and have been doing so for a few years now. I like to use mica shimmer for more translucent foundations. This is nice and sheer and with a slight sheen. Adds a very pretty shimmer to foundations and to eyeshadows.’
