Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to powdered cosmetics.

Background Art

[0002] Makeup cosmetics contain titanium oxide, which is one of the coloring pigments, at a high concentration, thereby obtaining the effect of hiding skin dullness and color unevenness. However, there is a problem that a thick coating feeling appears and the color becomes bluish white. Therefore, conventionally, as a means for achieving excellent aesthetics and giving a natural impression, which is the role of makeup, spherical silicone resin, nylon powder, etc. have been used to control the usability and finish on the skin (for example, Patent Document 1, etc.).
