Mica Makeup and Cosmetics Complete the 1980’s Look
Before there was pure mineral makeup, there was mica for eye shadow. Mica is a highly reflective mineral, which makes for strong color and a lasting look. Ground fine, it provides all the glam of glitter without the grit or flakiness, because mica makes a powder so smooth, you can’t even feel it once it’s on. It’s exotic, romantic and lush. In the ’70s and ’80s, mica was de rigueur for eye shadow, evening contours, dusting on shoulder blades and all sorts of other groovy places. A little pot of mica shadow will last you about fourteen years, unless you decide that it’s so cool as a cosmetic that it would look even better swiped onto a wet paintbrush and smeared across a pure white wall in an iridescent rainbow. Then, you might need to buy a second pot. Mica is also great because you can find it all a lot of different colors ranging from black to purple to white, but all iridescent and shiny.
Unless you’re planning to cover your entire body with mica, it’s easier to apply it damp, either with a sponge or a brush. It’s great worked into moisturizer or mixed with lip balm or even put into nail polish. It’s inert, so if it gets in your mouth it won’t hurt you, but it will still bother your eyes like any dust would, so be careful applying it around the eye area. Because it’s so fine, it can be flyaway otherwise, and truly untidy. But it’s so much fun to experiment with, you may just decide to buy a big powder puff and go for it.
