The present invention provides a method of preventing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and discoloration on the skin. This is achieved by the topical application to the skin of a composition containing a first platelet of alumina treated with a metal oxide, a second platelet treated with a spherical scattering component, and a cosmetic or pharmaceutical carrier. The compositions can also contain a standard interference pigment, such as a white and a yellow interference pigment to further blend the color to closely match the natural skin tone. The combination of pigments and platelets creates a mosaic of color and optically manipulates light such that lines, wrinkles, disfigurations and discolorations on the skin appear to substantially vanish. In addition to the pigments and platelet components, a non-interference pigment can also be added to fine-tune the matching of color to the skin tone. The alumina platelet alone is metallic-looking; however, when it is tempered with the other platelet containing the spherical scattering component, the net effect is that the skin appears natural, luminous and flawless.

Compositions containing optical diffusing pigments

The present invention relates to a method of making a cosmetic container having a surface with a decorative feature that is visible through a clear cosmetic product contained by the container. The present invention also includes a cosmetic container comprising a decorative feature at or near the bottom of an insert placed inside of the container. The decorative feature is observed as part of the product by the user while applying the cosmetic product. The decorative feature remains in tact during continued use of the product and lasts at least as long as the life of the cosmetic product.
