The present invention is a cosmetic includes at least one cyclic silicone represented by the following general formula (1), and having a boiling point of 205 to 255°C and a viscosity of less than 5 mm<sup>2</sup>/s (25°C). This provides a cosmetic which has a light touch, a good spread, and excellent water repellency, forms a uniform cosmetic film, can achieve a good feeling of use without strongly feeling an oily feeling, and has excellent stability over time and cosmetic persistence even when a variety of oil such as a silicone, a hydrocarbon oil, and an ester, an organic ultraviolet absorber, or an oily component being solid at 25°C is mixed.(Wherein R<sup>1</sup>is a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 2 or 3 carbon atoms, R<sup>2</sup>, R<sup>3</sup>, R<sup>4</sup>, R<sup>5</sup>, and R<sup>6</sup>are each independently a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, "a" is a positive number satisfying 0<a<4, and "b" and "c" are each independently a number of 0 to 3, provided that (a+b+c) ≤4.) |
