Abstract: The invention relates to a method for applying a cosmetic composition to hair. The method comprises the steps of removing a cosmetic composition from a sealed container, the composition comprising: a post-foaming emulsion comprising a weak acid, a weak base, a fatty acid, and a volatile buffering agent; a film forming agent; and an aqueous carrier; applying said composition to one or more eyelashes; and during or after said application to said one or more eyelashes, said cosmetic composition forms a foam, said foam resulting from the release of a gas, said gas being a reaction product of said post-foaming emulsion, and said reaction commencing after the evaporation of said volatile buffering agent, upon exposure of said cosmetic composition to atmospheric conditions.

Abstract: A method for simultaneously lengthening, coloring, and curling eyelashes by applying an oil in water composition comprising a plurality of water soluble or dispersible film forming polymers in the aqueous phase and being structured by one or more emulsifiers in solid or semi-solid form.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition comprising at least one volatile solvent, at least one crosslinked silicone film former, at least one silicone gum, and at least one pigment composition present in an amount sufficient to provide the cosmetic composition with a pigment contrast ratio of greater than 35 and a method for maximizing the intensity and opacity of a color cosmetic composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a re-applicable mascara composition containing a unique combination of a chemically modified wax and a polymeric film former including a copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone and aminoacrylates. The mascara composition of the present invention can be readily re-applied to eyelashes hours after the initial application to increase the lash volume, without the discomfort and clumping commonly caused by attempts to re-apply mascara to already-coated eyelashes.

Abstract: A color cosmetic composition containing at least one ester of rosin acid, polyglyceryl-2 isostearate/dimer dilinoleate copolymer, and pigments or colorants.

Abstract: Aqueous based compositions comprising at least one clear or translucent non-amidated structuring agent, at least one film forming polymer solubilized or dispersed in the aqueous phase, wherein the composition is substantially free of waxes.
