To obtain an inorganic blue fluorescent material that is composed of elements for which there are no suspected harmful effects on humans, and that has excellent texture when applied to skin. A fluorescent material for a cosmetic being a composite oxide containing from 0.0005 to 0.05 (in terms of a mole ratio relative to 1 mol of phosphorous in a molecule) of Ce in a compound represented by general formula Ca.sub.aP.sub.bO.sub.c (3.2≤a≤5.0, b=2, c=a+5) and having an average particle diameter of from 1 to 10 μm.

A method of camouflaging a tonal imperfection comprising the steps of: identifying a skin tone of a user comprising a tonal imperfection; instructing the user to select a pigmented cosmetic composition adapted to camouflage the tonal imperfection based on the user's skin tone; selecting the pigmented cosmetic composition; and selectively targeting and depositing the pigmented cosmetic composition substantially only onto the tonal imperfection; wherein the pigmented cosmetic composition comprises an average composition L* value of about 10 to about 40 units greater than an average skin L* value of the user. The pigmented cosmetic composition can comprise a particular set of L*C*h* values such that when deposited onto tonal imperfections, it can result in natural, flawless looking skin, while still remaining substantially undetectable to the naked eye.

The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising: at least 10% by weight, relative to the weight of the composition, of water; at least 10% by weight, relative to the weight of the composition, of at least one silicone resin; at least one non-volatile silicone oil, at least one liquid C.sub.2-C.sub.8, preferably C.sub.2-C.sub.6, polyol at least one pigment, optionally at least one volatile oil, in a content such that the silicone resin/volatile oil(s) weight ratio is greater than or equal to 1. The present invention also relates to a process for preparing a composition, in which at least a portion of the pigment(s) is used in a form predispersed in at least one polyol, optionally in the presence of water and optionally in the presence of at least one polyalkoxylated alcohol comprising from 8 to 30 carbon atoms, comprising at least 15 alkoxyl, preferably ethoxyl, units; the predispersion being used during the process for preparing the composition or added thereto. The invention also relates to a process for making up and/or caring in particular for the lips, the skin, more particularly the cheeks, in which the above mentioned composition is applied.
