Abstract: A powder cosmetic provides an excellent finish and has an excellent usability while maintaining a hiding power, and exhibits an excellent capacity to be more transmissive of light in long wavelength regions (selective red light transmission capacity). The titanium dioxide powder is particles in which the apparent average particle diameter is 100 nm or more and less than 500 nm, the average crystallite diameter measured by x-ray diffraction is 15-30 nm, the specific surface area of 10-30 m2/g, and a ratio between the long diameter and short diameter of the shape (long diameter/short diameter) of 1.0-2.5, and the particles have a shape in which radially projecting needle-shaped projections are aggregated. The powder cosmetic incorporates the titanium dioxide powder.

Abstract: The oily cosmetic includes 4 to 22 mass % of a polyether modified silicone wax and 40 to 80 mass % of an oily component. The oily component contains 46 mass % or more of a volatile oily component. The volatile oily component is contained in an amount of 25 mass % or more with respect to the mass of the oily cosmetic.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a powder-containing water-based composition having high powder dispersibility and stability even when the content by percentage of powder is high, and also having little stickiness. The powder-containing water-based composition includes (A) an aqueous phase constituting a continuous phase, (B) 10 to 45% by mass of a powder, and (C) 0.7% by mass or greater of a thickener. The thickener is a polymer that includes, as a constituent component, 2-acrylamido-2-methylsulfonic acid or a salt thereof. A content of an oily component is 15% by mass or less relative to the mass of the composition.
