| abstract |
The present invention relates to cosmetic compositions comprising flat fibers, in particular the makeup compositions of skin, lips, and surface growths such as nails, eyelashes, eyebrows or hair on both the face and the human body. Flat fibers provide the composition and, in particular, where the deposit includes a film-forming polymer, the mechanical reinforcement properties of the deposit formed after application to the keratinous material. In particular, the composition forms a deposit exhibiting good properties of mechanical resistance: the deposit is very resistant to friction, impact and scratching. Also, the deposit is very resistant to water (especially during bathing or showering), rain, tears, sweat and sebum. Thus, the flat fibers provide excellent retention of the deposit on the keratinous material. |
