Merck has launched an addition to the Luminous Matte range of pigments within its Smart Effects line. Ronastar Black Allure is said to enable a silky matte effect in deepest black.

It is suitable for use in eyeshadows, kajal, mascara and eyebrow pencils, as well as in nail lacquer or graphic elements in body painting.

Ronastar Black Allure is based on a spherical silica substrate and an innovative coating process, which results in a superstable, pure mineral pigment with an extraordinary skin feeling.

Thanks to the carefully selected raw materials and improved heavy metal profile, it is especially suitable for sensitive areas like the eyes and lips.
