Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a composition having about 7.5% to about 11.0% PEG/PPG emulsifier, an at least one diluent, an at least one emollient, and <25 weight % water, wherein the composition deviates from an initial configuration after application of about 0.5 to about 5 kPa of pressure on the composition and returns to the initial configuration in less than about 4 hours at room temperature.

Abstract: A color cosmetic composition containing color impregnated spherules where the color is expressed from the spherule upon application of the cosmetic to the keratinous surface and the expressed spherule serves an uptake function on the keratinous surface; a cosmetic composition containing a rupturable spherule filled with color, and a method for color skin using such compositions.

Abstract: A self-tanning or sunscreen cosmetic composition comprising a first resting color and a second application color comprising a water phase, and oil phase, and diffusive pigments suspended in the oil phase, wherein the diffusive pigments suspended in the oil phase provide the first resting color and upon diffusion out of the oil phase upon application provide the second application color.

Abstract: A color cosmetic composition comprising at least one silicone film forming polymer, at least one pigment, and at least one dispersant that aids in dispersion of the pigment and silicone film forming polymer in the composition.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition comprising a crosslinked particulate polyester polyol in a cosmetically acceptable carrier.

Abstract: A powdered water cosmetic composition comprising activatable pigments, a water phase comprised of water droplets, and a particulate phase comprised of non-wetting particulates operable to surround and sequester the individual water droplets from each other in the composition, wherein said activatable pigments prior to activation provide a composition having a first resting color and, upon activation by application to a keratinous surface, a second application color which is visually distinct from the first color, and a method for applying color to keratinous surfaces using the composition of the invention.

Abstract: An anhydrous color cosmetic composition comprising a pigment component and a powder component, the improvement wherein the powder component includes microfine particle size powders in an amount sufficient to provide a composition that matches a plurality of skin shades in one, or more than one, skin tone category; and an anhydrous foundation, blush, concealer, mascara, or other cosmetic composition that has a first resting color and a second application color.

Abstract: Emulsion makeup compositions for keratinous surfaces which change color upon application, emulsion makeup compositions that match a variety of skin or hair shades in more than one skin tone category, and methods for treating keratinous surfaces with an emulsion cosmetic composition that changes color upon application.

Abstract: A method for improving skin radiance and luminosity comprising treating with skin with a cosmetic composition comprising a self-tanning ingredient that is present in an amount insufficient to provide a visually perceptible tan on the skin.

Abstract: A color cosmetic composition comprising at least one very high viscosity silicone gum in a cosmetically acceptable carrier.

Abstract: A color cosmetic composition containing color impregnated spherules where the color is expressed from the spherule upon application of the cosmetic to the keratinous surface and the expressed spherule serves an uptake function on the keratinous surface; a cosmetic composition containing a rupturable spherule filled with color, and a method for color skin using such compositions.

Abstract: An internally compatible cosmetic composition comprising at least two internally incompatible phases or ingredients that are compatibilized with an effective amount of an amphiphilic silicone resin emulsifier and a method for emulsifying an anhydrous or emulsion cosmetic composition containing at least two internally incompatible phases with an amphiphilic silicone resin emulsifier either alone or in combination with a secondary emulsifier.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition comprising an interpenetrating polymer network in a cosmetically acceptable carrier, a method for improving the transfer resistance and long wearing properties of cosmetic compositions; and a method for reducing the shiny appearance of skin or otherwise improving skin imperfections.

Abstract: A pigmented emulsion cosmetic composition for reducing the shiny appearance of skin and cosmetically improving the appearance of skin imperfections comprising a cosmetically effective amount of mushroom extract and a method for reducing the shiny appearance of skin and cosmetically improving the appearance of skin imperfections comprising applying to the skin an emulsion cosmetic composition containing mushroom extract.

Abstract: An emulsion makeup composition comprising: (a) a water phase having solubilized therein an effective amount of soy protein capable of forming a skin firming and toning film on the skin; (b) an oil phase comprising silicone oil having dispersed therein one or more colorants, said silicone oil phase capable of plasticizing the film formed on the skin by the solubilized soy protein in the water phase; and (c) an effective amount of a surfactant capable of causing the water and oil phase to form an emulsion which maintains stability at 50° C. for two weeks.
