Note: Mica is a naturally occurring mineral derived from a group of silicate compounds and is used to colour cosmetics and give a sparkling lustre. They reflect light away from the skin giving a smooth, radiant appearance. For this recipe you can choose any combination of micas, though bronze and gold pigments work best to give skin a natural sun kissed appearance.
