The formula is described as a "finely milled mixture of mica and pigments" that have a "subtle glaze of colour" but have an "intense pearl" finish; they even recommend to apply it "sparingly at first" because it can be quite concentrated.

There was a moderate sheen on my skin once the product was blended out, and there was subtle to moderate color visible depending on the shade. The formula lasted eight hours on me before fading noticeably.

M·A·C Iridescent Powder/Loose is a finely milled mixture of mica and pigments that gives skin a subtle glaze of colour with intense pearl. It can be used on its own or mixed into other products like foundations or moisturizers to enhance their iridescent qualities. Designed to apply easily and uniformly, it blends beautifully and can be applied on bare skin or over foundation. Because it's so concentrated, it should be used sparingly at first.
