Cosmetic compositions comprising a fibrous pigment having an average diameter greater than 0.2 microns and an average aspect ratio greater than 5, and methods of using said compositions for imparting a pigmented film on skin or imparting a lightening appearance of skin are provided. The compositions optionally comprise from 0.1 to 30% of a coloring agent, selected from pigments, lakes, and dyes. The appearance of skin to which the compositions have been topically applied as a cosmetic film possesses L*, a*, and b* color space values and angular reflection properties closer to those of natural skin than an identical composition wherein the fibrous pigment has an average aspect ratio of less than 5.

Cosmetic compositions comprising fibrous pigments

Provided are cosmetic compositions of incompatible cosmetic composition provided long term stability by the interfacial reaction of two immiscible polymers having complementary reactive pair functional groups.

Self emulsified compositions

Provided are cosmetic and personal care compositions having film-formers that are copolymers of olefins and cycloolefins, such as ethylene/propylene/ethylidenenorbornene terpolymers. The compositions may provide long wearing, transfer resistant and/or highly comfortable films on the lips, skin, hair and nails.

Cosmetic composition

A method of making a hologram includes recording a first hologram in a holographic recording medium at a first deformation ratio; changing the first deformation ratio to a second deformation ratio that is different from the first deformation ratio; and recording a second hologram in the holographic recording medium at the second deformation ratio to form a recorded holographic medium.

Complex holograms, method of making and using complex holograms

Provided are cosmetic and personal care compositions having film-formers that are two-phase polymers with a first phase polymer that is a maleated polymer where the maleic anhydride is pendant to the polymer and the second phase polymer is a polymer with complementary reactive groups. The two-phase polymer film former provides enhanced durability benefits for cosmetics, hair care, and skin care products.
