The oil-based cosmetic preparation has excellent usability, provides a make-up coverage with satisfactory luster and moisturizing feel, and exhibits excellent shape retention properties.n nwherein R 1 to R 4 are each independently hydrogen atom, a fatty acid residue or a polycarboxylic acid residue, and R 5 and R 6 are each independently hydrogen atom, a fatty acid residue or a polycarboxylic acid residue, provided that all of R 1 to R 4 do not represent hydrogen atom at the same time, and both of R 5 and R 6 do not represent hydrogen atom at the same time. |
