Why Blush Red Is a Useful Pigment Colour

Blush Red is a useful mica powder colour when you want a red pigment that feels softer and warmer than a bold ruby or deep crimson. It works well in floral resin art, Valentine’s Day projects, handmade gifts, softer epoxy inlays, decorative trays, coasters, and woodworking projects where you want a warm red-pink shimmer without the intensity of a darker red.

This colour pairs well with white pearl, gold, old gold, copper, bronze, ruby red, black pearl, clear epoxy, walnut, white oak, ash, olive wood, and lighter natural wood tones. It can also be blended with other pigments to create rose gold, coral, soft berry, blush pink, champagne-pink, and warmer floral effects. Testing a small sample first is recommended so you can see how Blush Red looks in your exact epoxy, wax, soap base, coating, or craft material.

Why Beaver Dust Pigments Are Different

Beaver Dust Pigments are made with fine particles under 60 microns. This smaller particle size helps the pigment mix smoothly into epoxy and stay suspended while the resin cures, instead of settling to the bottom like some larger or heavier pigment particles can.

Blush Red Beaver Dust Pigment is especially useful when you want a softer red tone that still adds shimmer and movement to cured resin. Use a small amount for a lighter transparent blush shimmer or add more pigment for a stronger, more saturated red-pink effect.

Suggested Projects

• Blush epoxy pours: Use Blush Red on its own for soft resin art, coasters, trays, and decorative accents.
• Floral and romantic projects: Use Blush Red for rose-inspired resin art, Valentine’s Day projects, wedding-style pieces, handmade gifts, and keepsakes.
• Coasters and sample pours: Use small silicone molds to test Blush Red, compare pigment amounts, and make finished coaster-style projects.
• Epoxy inlays and void fills: Add soft red-pink shimmer to cracks, voids, carved details, logos, and decorative woodworking accents.
• Warm metallic blends: Pair Blush Red with gold, old gold, copper, bronze, or white pearl for rose-gold, coral-gold, and champagne-pink effects.
• Custom pigment blends: Mix Blush Red with ruby red, white pearl, gold, copper, black pearl, or clear epoxy to create custom rose, berry, blush, coral, and warm red effects.

How Much Pigment Should You Use?

A good starting point for Blush Red mica powder is approximately 1/8 teaspoon per 1 litre of epoxy for a medium level of transparency. You can adjust from there depending on the colour strength, opacity, shimmer, and final effect you want.

For smaller batches, start with a small amount, mix thoroughly, and add more gradually. Soft red and blush pigments can look different depending on lighting, background colour, epoxy depth, wood tone, and the amount used, so testing a sample is recommended before committing to a larger project.
