Pearlescents are microscopic particles, often used in cosmetic products to add a luminous glow to the skin. Derived from minerals or synthesized in a laboratory, they are commonly incorporated into powders, eyeshadows, and nail polishes to create an iridescent or glittery effect. By capturing and reflecting light, pearlescents provide a visually pleasing effect and enhance the texture of cosmetics.
