Answer

Mica Recommendations for a BECCA Backlight Priming Filter-like Glow

The BECCA Backlight Priming Filter is known for providing a beautiful, luminous, warm glow to the skin. To achieve a similar effect using Mica powders in your formulation, consider the tone and particle size of the Mica.

For a subtle, natural-looking golden sheen similar to the BECCA primer, look for Mica powders with smaller particle sizes (Size A). These provide a gentle gleam rather than obvious sparkle.

  • Golden Yellow Mica, yellow, golden gleam (size A): This Mica offers a yellow-gold sheen with a small particle size (30 microns), suitable for a natural, low-gloss finish.
  • Light Gold Pearl Mica (Size A, 30 Micron): Another excellent option for a subtle effect, providing a light gold pearl finish with a small particle size (30 microns).

If you prefer a slightly more noticeable shimmer, you can use Mica powders with a medium particle size (Size B). These provide more shimmer than Size A but less obvious sparkle than larger sizes.

  • Bronze Gold Glitter Mica (Size B, 60 Micron): Offers a warm bronze-gold shimmer.
  • Gold Glitter Mica (Size B, 80 Micron): Provides a classic gold shimmer.

By selecting Mica with warm golden or pearl tones and appropriate particle sizes, you can create a luminous effect similar to the BECCA Backlight Priming Filter in your cosmetic formulations.
