The present invention relates to anhydrous colored cosmetic powder comprising at least one natural or synthetic silicate and at least one dye. During its manufacture, this powder may subsequently be dried and contacted with an aqueous phase not present in its final stage. The present invention also relates to a cosmetic composition comprising an aqueous phase and a non-aqueous phase comprising at least one colored powder part, wherein the colored powder part comprises at least one natural or synthetic silicate and at least one dye. These colored cosmetic powders or these silicates present in the cosmetic composition, when in contact with the aqueous solution, can absorb the water-soluble part of the dye that is released from the powder, thus avoiding the problem of transfer. The present invention also relates to a process for preparing such colored cosmetic powders and to their use as is or in cosmetic compositions comprising an aqueous phase. |
