A cosmetic foundation composition is provided comprising greater than or equal to 6% by weight of the cosmetic foundation composition of metal oxide particles and having a ΔLT value greater than or equal to 0.5, preferably greater than or equal to 1.5, more preferably greater than or equal to 2.5, where ΔLT is measured according to the following equation: : ΔLT = ΔL2 - ΔL1 . Where: ΔL1 = L1110 L115 ; ΔL2 = L2110 - L215 . L1 is a measurement of Ly taken on bare skin, to which no product has been applied; L2 is a measurement of Ly taken on skin, to which product has been applied; and Ly is the luminosity value at a specific angle, y, from specular. |
