Mica is the name of a group of natural occurring minerals. It can be opalescent, sparkling or completely matte.

Mica powder is purified and crushed mica minerals. It is available in a variety of different colors that go from dazzling silver or gold tones to muted. Some Mica powders have a shimmer effect that makes them also called glitter

      

We now package our 5grs micas in a clear plastic bags, reducing the price and the postage . 
Actual Colors may differ due to electronic variations and monitor and camera  settings. 

The micas you purchase will speak for themselves, if they are high sparkle micas, even if you try to grind them, the end product will still have some shine and shimmer within. Grinding micas ruins their original look. If you like the duller after effect, then, fine, but it does change them.

I prefer to mix or to shake them in a little zip lock bag with no grinding whatsoever.

Micas offer poor adhesion and will not stay long on the skin if they are not mix with a very adhesive base or with mixture base/ pigments.

Colour Mica Pigments

These days, going for mineral makeup is the way to do your face. Mica is the magic. Color is achieved by coating the mica substrate with various dyes and pigments.

This is because manufactured mica is made through a process which you cannot recreate in your home.  In this process, the mica, white titanium dioxide and yellow oxide are laid on top of each other in "sheets".  This structure allows the light to travel through the reflective mica and bounce off the sheets of white and yellow, resulting in a shimmery color. 

If you run the color through a grinder, you are wreaking havoc on this structure.  Your grinder is separating the sheets and making for a duller product. To reexplain it, I have a "broken window" analogy that works for more visually oriented people.

I prefer to mix or to shake them in with no grinding whatsoever.

They are also expensive, I only use them for special effects and for a duller- matte effect I will make the color with the pigments
