A cosmetic composition comprises an aqueous make-up foundation, e.g. an oil-in-water emulsion or water-in-oil emulsion, containing 0.03 to 10% by weight of hydrophobic fumed silica and 0.03 to 0.5% by weight of hydrophilic fumed silica. A dry pigment system for incorporation into such compositions contains 5 to 90% by weight of talc and 5 to 49% by weight of pigments (e.g. titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, ferric oxide or chromic oxide) in addition to the hydrophilic fumed silica and hydrophobic fumed silica. |
