The present invention relates to a glitter comprising a foil coated with metal pigments, more particularly aluminium pigments, to a method for producing it, to the use thereof in cosmetic products, coating materials such as paints, varnishes and printing inks, for example, and in adhesives and modelling and/or moulding compositions, and also to cosmetic products, coating materials and adhesives, and modelling and/or moulding compositions which comprise the glitter.

The invention relates to a surface-modified effect pigment comprising particular additives and to the production thereof. The present invention further provides a nail varnish composition comprising a) at least one effect pigment that has been surface-modified with a starting material (additive), where the effect pigment comprises a substrate in platelet form and optionally at least one coating applied to the substrate, b) at least one hydrocarbon resin as binder, and c) at least one solvent or solvent mixture, where the starting material (additive) for surface modification of the effect pigment is at least one compound taken from the group consisting of phosphoric ester-containing, phosphonic ester-containing, phosphonic acid-containing, fatty acid-containing and/or silane-containing compounds or mixtures thereof.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a water-in-oil emulsified solid cosmetic having a relatively high internal-aqueous-phase proportion (about 40% or higher), the cosmetic being a makeup which has an excellent concealing effect and gives a natural finish and which is stable and has satisfactory applicability. The present invention relates to a solid cosmetic in water-in-oil emulsified type characterized by comprising (A) at least one fatty acid glyceryl ester selected from the group consisting of glyceryl isostearate, poly(2-glyceryl) diisostearate, and glyceryl oleate, (B) an aqueous component, (C) an oily component, and (D) a powdery component, the oily component (C) comprising a solid oil (C1) and an oil-soluble film former (C2) and the powdery component (D) comprising titanium dioxide (D1) having a primary-particle diameter of 0.05-0.5 μm in an amount of 10 mass % or more relative to the whole cosmetic preparation and further containing a pearl pigment (D2).

The invention provides a cosmetic having strong resistance to contact with water, clothing, fingers, and abrasion with little decline (post-contact) in the cosmetic effects such as UV blocking protection as well as excellent feel on use. The cosmetic contains: (A) plate-shaped powder, (B) 6-40% by mass UV absorber, and (C) cationic surfactant.

An aqueous liquid cosmetic containing 1 to 20% by mass of (A) a flake aluminum powder coated with a layer containing a silicon compound; 0.5 to 10% by mass of (B) a polycarboxylic acid-based dispersant having a mass-average molecular weight of 10,000 or less; and 1 to 40% by mass of (C) a film-forming polymer emulsion in terms of a solid content is provide. Normally, the aqueous liquid cosmetic contains at least 40% by mass of water, and further may optionally contain (D) a color pigment as another ingredient. This aqueous liquid cosmetic is suitable for eye makeup applications such as eyeliners, eyebrows, eye colors, and the like.

A powder cosmetic comprising 3 to 80% by mass of a colorless interference pigment having a chroma C* of 5.0 or more (A), and 0.001 to 3% by mass of a color pigment (B), wherein a hue difference value ΔH* between an appearance color and a coating color is 10 or more is provided. The powder cosmetic may contain a content of 40 to 96% by mass of an inorganic extender pigment (C), a content of 1 o 30% by mass of an organic extender pigment (D), and a content of 1 to 30% by mass of an oily component (E).

The titanium phosphate powder of the present invention includes plate-shaped crystalline particles of titanium phosphate, an average thickness of the plate-shaped crystalline particles is 0.01 μm or more and less than 0.10 μm, and an aspect ratio, which is a value obtained by dividing an average primary particle diameter of the plate-shaped crystalline particles by the average thickness, is 5 or more. In the method for producing a titanium phosphate powder of the present invention, a raw material containing titanium and phosphorus is caused to react by a hydrothermal synthesis method, and when the titanium phosphate powder including plate-shaped crystalline particles of titanium phosphate is produced, a mixture of titanium sulfate and phosphoric acid is used as the raw material.

A golden effect pigment comprising an optionally passivated platelet-shaped metallic substrate and an iron oxide layer, wherein the effect pigment has a hue angle h.sub.15 of 67°≤h.sub.15≤78° and a chroma C*.sub.15 of ≥90 is provided. Further, a golden effect pigment comprising an optionally passivated platelet-shaped metallic substrate and an iron oxide layer, wherein the effect pigment has a hue angle h.sub.15 of 67°≤h.sub.15≤78° and a chroma C*.sub.45 of ≥50 is provided. The golden effect pigments are highly chromatic and suitable for coloring a coating composition such as a paint, a printing ink, an ink, a varnish, plastics, a fiber, a film or a cosmetic preparation, preferably an automotive, an architectural or an industrial coating composition.
