Performance & Formulation Insights for Majestic Plum

Achieving True Matte Color with High Coverage

Majestic Plum is engineered by depositing a highly concentrated layer of Manganese Violet (CI 77742) onto a finely milled mica substrate. The smooth, plate-like mica acts as an efficient carrier, while the pure pigment delivers an intense, true-matte violet hue. Unlike pearlescent systems, this structure is optimized to scatter light rather than reflect it, producing a deep, shine-free finish with superior opacity.

Advanced Texture & Blendability

The 10–60 µm particle size range contributes to a soft, creamy feel and excellent blendability, minimizing the chalkiness often associated with matte pigments. Formulators can achieve bold color payoff alongside a comfortable, luxurious skin feel across pressed powders, gel liners, and lip formats.
