THIS IS NOT A FLAT BLACK.  All of the Peal Ex Pigments are mica based and have a shimmer to them.  Some of the "macros" have more sparkle.  This one is just a light shimmer.

I used a lot of these pigments in my art. I have bought several colors and will leave 5 stars for all of them. They are highly pigmented and a little tiny bit goes a long way. The powder are very fine, and you have to be very careful with them or they will make a mess. I mix them in just about everything I can; and they have worked out well. They allow me to make my art stand out by being just a little bit different. These jars are large, a great price, and will last a long time.

This is from their website:

It is a safe, inert pigment that exhibits extreme colorfastness and stability, ideal for interior, fashion, fine arts and other archival applications. It has a use for every artist, from watercolorist to auto painter, faux finisher to rubber stamper. Try it mixed with Jacquard Gum Arabic or Pearl Ex Varnish for applying to most surfaces, or mixed into one of Jacquards colorless extenders for use on fabric. It can also be mixed with other artist mediums, oils, acrylics, encaustic, Dorlands Wax, polymer clays, or spread dry on porous surfaces.

Pearl Ex creates a metallic effect without being a real metalit will never tarnish or fade. The different particle sizes produce different effects, from a smooth pearly luster, to a highly metallic sheen.

Note: Pearl Ex Powdered Pigments were specifically developed as a art material.
They are NOT for cosmetic use.
