A method of applying makeup to a surface, such as the skin, the nails, hair, or the lips, is disclosed. The method includes manually depositing, using a non-magnetic cosmetic applicator, at least a first cosmetic composition in the fluid state on the surface, the first composition containing magnetic particles that are movable under the effect of a magnetic field; and manually exposing at least part of the first composition to a magnetic device producing a magnetic field, the magnetic device located above the first composition so as to orientate and/or displace at least a fraction of the magnetic particles so as to form at least one pattern according to magnetic field lines of the magnetic field without making contact with the first composition.

The titanium dioxide pigment of the present invention contains an anatase type crystal in an amount of 98-100% and has an average particle diameter of 0.2-0.4 μm and a whiteness of 95-97 in terms of L value of linseed oil. The titanium dioxide pigment of the present invention has characteristics peculiar to anatase type, for example, optical characteristics such as bluish color tone and physical characteristics such as low hardness, and furthermore has high opacity which is not possessed by conventional anatase type titanium oxide pigments.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a coating agent which is capable of forming a coating film simply and over a wide area, and is capable of forming a microfilm having an excellent chemical stability and physical stability, the coating film, a forming method, and to provide various products each applied with the coating film. SOLUTION: The coating agent comprises a scaly titanium oxide microparticle obtained by ion exchange-treating a layered titanate with an alkylammonium, and the coating agent comprises a solution containing titania nano-sheet and a silicon dioxide, or sol of titanium oxide. The coating film has a micro structure laminating the scaly titanium oxide microparticles with high orientation, wherein the scaly titanium oxide microparticle is formed by drying and heating after coating.

The invention relates to a cosmetic composition, in particular in the form of a liquid cosmetic composition, comprising in a physiological medium (i) at least a plate type filler with refractive index > 1,6 and having a particle size between 1 μm and 20um, preferably between 1 μm and 15μm, (ii) at least a silicon elastomer, preferably a non-emulsifying silicon elastomer, and (iii) at least a filler having an oil absorption capacity greater than or equal to 1ml/g. The composition is preferably used as a skin care or make-up base or primer intended to decrease the visibility of skin imperfections, in particular the pores and make the pore hiding effect long lasting.

A composition which comprises a substrate of a thin plate form and a coating layer formed on the surface thereof, characterized in that the substrate of a thin plate form has a size of 50 to 800 μm, and the coating layer has a thickness of 0.05 to 0.6 μm and contains a titanium composition in an amount of 70 to 95 wt %. A titanium oxide composition having high brilliant color is prepared through firing the above composition comprising a coating layer and then delaminating the fired coating layer, as a delaminated composition. The titanium oxide composition is novel, and is capable of producing interference colors having excellent brightness and clearness and providing clear complementary colors and thus is useful particularly as a component of a cosmetic composition.

Titanium oxide compsn. having high brilliant color, compsn. comprising coating and cosmetic compsn. and method for their prepn.

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 μm. The coating layer is 0.05-0.6 μm 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.

L'invention concerne une composition comprenant un substrat en forme de plaque mince et une couche de revetement formee a la surface de celui-ci, caracterisee en ce que le substrat en forme de plaque mince presente une taille comprise entre 50 et 800 νm et la couche de revetement presente une epaisseur comprise entre 0,05 et 0,6 νm et contient une composition de titane dans une proportion comprise entre 70 et 95 % en poids. L'invention concerne egalement une composition d'oxyde de titane presentant une couleur a brillance elevee, preparee par chauffage de la composition susmentionnee comprenant une couche de revetement, puis par delaminage de la couche de revetement chauffee pour obtenir une composition delaminee. Cette composition d'oxyde de titane presente un caractere de nouveaute et permet de produire des couleurs d'interference presentant une brillance et une clarte excellentes et fournissant des couleurs complementaires claires. Elle est donc utile en particulier comme constituant d'une composition cosmetique.
