Abstract
The present invention relates to stable lip compositions comprising a first material and a second material wherein the second material is entrapped throughout the first material. The first and second materials are sufficiently incompatible with each other wherein when the composition is applied to the lips, the second material separates from said first material forming a barrier layer over the first material deposited on the lips. Using such a composition eliminates having to individually apply a barrier layer over the lipstick previously applied to the lips.
