Performance & Formulation Insights for Chromatique Starlight Golden Brown
Crafting the Golden-Brown Satin Effect
Chromatique Starlight Golden Brown achieves its signature warm, golden-brown hue and elegant satin luster through the precise coating of natural mica platelets with Iron Oxides and Titanium Dioxide. The high concentration of Iron Oxide (CI 77491) delivers the rich brown base color and opacity, while a controlled layer of Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891) enhances the pearlescent effect. The result is a smooth, light-reflecting finish that is more refined than a traditional shimmer.
Formulation Versatility & Performance
With a broad particle size distribution (6–85 μm), this pigment balances coverage and luster for superior aesthetics. Finer particles contribute to excellent coverage and a silky skin feel, while larger particles add a sophisticated satin sheen without introducing sparkle. This makes it ideal for applications ranging from subtle warmth in complexion products to bold, satin-metallic statements in eyeshadows and lipsticks.
