Apple Pop! Mica is a bright, medium sheen green. Granny Smith eat your heart out! As well as Soaps, use it "as is" or in a blend to take your Eye shadow anywhere from a bright Lime to a Cool Mint to a muted Sage. Apple Pop! Mica exhibits a medium level of sheen and is stable in CP and MP Soap (a high pH environment). Although similar to our Seafoam Mica, Apple Pop has definite yellow tones rather than aqua tones alongside the green.
For accurate measuring of Micas (especially if blending for Mineral Makeup) we now stock Pigment Scoops.
