A two-phase liquid cosmetic composition is provided comprising an oil phase, an organic liquid/water phase, and insoluble solid particles absorbed on the interface between the two phases wherein the solid particles comprise the in situ precipitation product of at least first and second salt solutions added to the oil phase and organic liquid/water phase during blending thereof. The insoluble salt precipitates facilitate dispersion of the oil phase in the form of "spheres" or "droplets" within the organic liquid/water phase thereby producing a liquid cosmetic having an aesthetically desirable appearance. |
