Raspberry Pop! Mica is a lively cool red (which means it is more on the violet side of the colour wheel, rather than the orange side) so it has more bite than orange/reds. Great for blending lipsticks, and in lip balm of course, Raspberry Pop Mica is great in all applications. Raspberry Pop Mica exhibits a medium level of sheen and is stable in CP and MP Soap.
For accurate measuring of Micas (especially if blending for Mineral Makeup) we now stock Pigment Scoops.
