First off, let me just say that this copper mica powder is GORGEOUS. The color is a rich, wine-red copper with a metallic sheen that catches the light beautifully. I've used it in several epoxy resin projects, and it never fails to impress.
The powder blends effortlessly into epoxy and resin, creating a smooth, uniform color without clumping. I've made geode art and river tables with it, and the results are stunning—deep, shimmering copper veins that look professional.
One thing I love is its versatility. I’ve also experimented with it in soap-making and bath bombs (mixed with polysorbate 80 to avoid staining), and the color payoff is fantastic. It’s gentle on the skin, which is a huge plus for cosmetic applications.
However, a word of caution: don’t use this for candles. Like one reviewer mentioned, it clogs wicks and ruins the burn. Stick to epoxy, resin, or cosmetics for best results.
The customer service is top-notch too. I once had a shipping mix-up (got the wrong shade), and Jeff from Eye Candy resolved it immediately. That kind of reliability makes me a repeat customer.
Minor gripe? It’s not as fine as some other micas I’ve tried, so if you’re looking for a completely smooth finish in thin layers of epoxy, you might notice slight particles. But for most projects, it’s perfection.
Final verdict? 9/10—vibrant, versatile, and worth every penny for crafters who love metallic finishes.
