The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition in form of an aqueous gel, comprising (percentages by weight referred to the weight of the cosmetic composition) : - 5%-30% of at least one inorganic pigment; 10%-50% of at least one film-forming agent comprising at least one acrylic copolymer comprising two or more monomers selected from: acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, C 1 -C 8 alkyl acrylate and C 1 -C 8 alkyl methacrylate; 0.05%-3% of at least one thickening agent for aqueous systems; - 0.1%-5% of at least one surfactant; - 1%-20% of at least one C 1 -C 4 alkanol; - water in an amount equal to the complement to 100%, said cosmetic composition having a pH in the range 6.5 - 7.5 and a Brookfield dynamic viscosity (measured at 25°C, speed 50 rpm, rotor S04) in the range 400 - 5000 cPs. The present invention also relates to the use of said composition as an eyeliner, in particular a peel- off eyeliner, to enhance the aesthetic appearance of the eyes. |
