An object of the present invention is to provide scaly particles having low visible light absorption, effectively scattering visible light, and suitable for a filler having high durability and weather resistance, and elongation on the skin by containing the scaly particles. The present invention provides cosmetics and the like that have a good feeling in use and exhibit a bright and transparent appearance for a long time. A metal oxide having a low refractive index is used as a base material, and fine particles of a metal oxide having a high refractive index having an average particle diameter of 160 to 450 nm are dispersed therein in an amount of 5 to 50% by weight. Scaly particles having a light diffusion degree of The scaly particles preferably have an average particle size of 5 to 500 μm, an average thickness of 0.1 to 5 μm and an average aspect ratio of 5 to 300.
