How to Make Metallic Liquid Lipstick
To create a metallic effect in liquid lipstick, you can add Mica powder.
Based on recommendations, using Mica powder with particle sizes B to C is suitable for achieving a metallic look.
Examples of suitable Mica powders include:
- Silver Sparkle Mica (Size C, 160 Micron)
- Gold Glitter Mica (Size B, 60 Micron)
- Gold Glitter Mica (Size B, 80 Micron)
The metallic color will depend on the specific color of the Mica powder you choose.
Usage Rate: For lipstick, the recommended usage rate for Mica powder is typically 1-10% of the total formulation.
These Mica powders can be dispersed in oil and silicone-based formulations, which are common in liquid lipsticks.
