Technical Profile & Formulation Benefits of Smokey Vintage Blue

Advanced Synthetic Mica Substrate for Purity and Performance

Smokey Vintage Blue is built on a Synthetic Fluorphlogopite substrate, offering greater purity, consistency, and smoothness than natural mica. This engineered base delivers exceptional chroma and a cleaner, more vibrant blue tone. Controlled platelet size and an ultra-smooth surface optimize light reflection to create a luminous, flawless finish across applications.

The fine particle size distribution (4–24 µm) ensures a refined, high-definition appearance with excellent laydown and blendability, helping formulators achieve a sophisticated, youthful glow without gritty sparkle.

Engineering the “Smokey” Satin Effect

The signature smokey navy blue and soft satin finish result from a precise layering of Titanium Dioxide and a specialized Titanium/Titanium Dioxide complex. This structure is designed to scatter light diffusely, creating an elegant, illuminating patina rather than a sharp metallic flash or high-impact glitter effect.

The outcome is a modern satin luminosity that reads clean and camera-ready, ideal for high-definition cosmetics and versatile enough for eye, lip, face, and nail systems.
