Abstract: Disclosed is a solid water-in-oil emulsified make-up composition comprising by weight: (a) from about 10% to about 25% of a powder component; the powder component comprising by weight of the powder component from about 50% to about 80% of a spherical powder having an average particle size of from about 0.1 ?m to about 50 ?m; the spherical powder comprising by weight of the entire composition: (i) from about 2% to about 20% of a spherical soft focus powder having a Total Luminous Transmittance (Tt) of from about 55 to about 90, a Diffuse Luminous Transmittance (Td) of from about 34 to about 81 and a Haze value {(Td/Tt)×100} of from about 62 to about 90; and (ii) from about 1% to about 10% of a spherical oil absorbing powder having an oil absorbency of at least about 100 ml/100 g; (b) a volatile silicone oil; (c) a non-volatile oil; (d) a solid wax; (e) a lipophilic surfactant having an HLB of less than about 8; and (f) water.

Abstract: Disclosed is a make-up composition comprising by weight: from about 1% to about 20% of a sebum solidifying powder comprising a base substance having a hydroxyapatite coated on the base substance, and a zinc oxide fixed to the coating layer of the hydroxyapatite, wherein the zinc oxide is from about 15% to about 25% by weight of the sebum solidifying powder; from about 1% to about 10% of an inorganic oil absorbing powder having an oil absorbency of at least about 200 ml/100 g wherein the weight ratio of the sebum solidifying powder to the inorganic oil absorbing powder is from about 1:1.5 to about 20:1; and a suitable carrier.

Abstract: Disclosed is a water-in-oil emulsified make-up composition comprising by weight: from about 25% to about 40% of a volatile silicone oil; from about 0.5% to about 8% of a non-volatile oil; from about 1% to about 5% of a solid wax; from about 1% to about 5% of a lipophilic surfactant having an HLB of less than about 8; from about 25% to about 35% of hydrophobically treated pigments; and water in an amount such that the total of the volatile silicone oil and water is at least about 50%.
