Shiny makeup additive (4)

I believe the answer is:

mica

(Other definitions for mica that I've seen before include "Shiny silicate mineral" , "Semitransparent insulating mineral" , "Isinglass" , "Transparent mineral" , "Flexible mineral found in igneous and metamorphic rocks" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
