Polymer Clay, Mica Powders and Makeup

July 20, by Elaine Robitaille. Leave a Comment

I’ve never had much in the way of makeup hanging around so it never occurred to me to use it on my clay until friends started discussing it in the polymer clay forums. Turns out cheap, sparkly eye makeup is perfectly good on polymer clay and a lot easier to find than some of the mica powders I could only find at Michaels back when I started claying.

Ginger of the Blue Bottle Tree has a page on experiments and comparisons of mica powders and makeups.

For folks who are makeup users, I have to say the better quality mineral makeups have a much nicer effect on clay than the cheap stuff… they’re just too expensive to use as colours on crafting materials. They apply beautifully and have a nice colour consistency and strength.
