Abstract: A highly iridescent titanium oxide composition, which not only produces new and outstanding luster as well as color brightness within a recognized color range by interference colors but also retains clear complementary colors. The highly iridescent titanium oxide composition is a coating composition forming a coating layer over the surface of a thin flake-shaped matrix, whose size is 50-800 ?m. The coating layer is 0.05-0.6 ?m thick containing a titanium composition whose content is 70-95% by mass. This titanium oxide-contained coating layer is the highly iridescent titanium oxide composition exfoliated from the coating composition. The highly iridescent titanium oxide composition is a beneficial element, especially as a cosmetic ingredient.

Abstract: Liquid or paste eye makeup preparations containing, as a film forming agent, an aqueous emulsion of at least one copolymer of one or more alkyl acrylates having from C.sub.4 to C.sub.18 alkyl groups in the ester portion and one or more alkyl methacrylates having from C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl groups in the ester portion is provided. This copolymer emulsion can be advantageously incorporated into eye makeup preparations, such as an eye liner and mascara, to formulate the water resistant, rub-proof and stain-proof liquid or paste eye makeup preparation.
