They do not have a base mixed in with them, but you can make them stick by applying them wet or using a sticky base. I posted a video about it a few posts up.

Well... I use tkb mica and mix them togheter to create mac dupes.
The micas by themselves aren't much I find. I mix them with oxides to give them more substance. I achieved very close matches to most of my favorite mac colors.
Why? Because I'm allergic to a main ingredient in most cosmetics, so I have to make my own... secondo.... its much cheaper. I made dupes of almost all the colors I've been eyeing for a while.
Well... some colors don't match 100% yet, only the ones I need duochrome micas, all the rest are are matched.
I even matched my favorite of all times, mothbrown recently. I keep getting so many compliments, even my b-f freaked out on the color, and he doesn't really like it when I wear too much make-up...
TKB is the bomb... you can make any color you want, for so cheap... and so many of them, you never need a refill....
