Question
Why does Mica powder give color to the product itself but not provide strong color payoff on the skin, similar to lipstick? What type of colorant should be used instead for intense color transfer on the skin like lipstick?
Answer
Based on the previous staff reply, Mica powder is primarily used to add color to the product itself, rather than providing strong color payoff on the skin when applied. While it might impart some subtle color, it won't transfer color as intensely as lipstick.
If you are looking for a strong color transfer effect on the skin, similar to lipstick, it is recommended to use pigment colors instead, as suggested by the staff.
