Abstract
A cosmetic eyeliner composition in the form of a liquid is provided which is especially adapted for use in conjunction with a wick-type nib pen which delivers eyeliner through a capillary action, which eyeliner composition includes a pigment intermediate formed of FDA approved inorganic eye product pigments having an average particle size of about 5 microns or less, a water-soluble organic polymer film-former, such as polyvinyl pyrrolidone, and optionally one or more plasticizers, and a carrier for the pigment intermediate, which carrier includes water, plasticizer, preservative, and an alcohol and optionally a moisturizer and/or humectant. The eyeliner composition of the invention will pass through the wick of a wick-type nib pen by capillary action without clogging the wick.
