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.
