A volatile oil composition includes a vehicle and a silicone elastomer, wherein the vehicle is a volatile oily composition of (a) from 50 to 100% by weight of a mixture of linear paraffins including (i) 90 to 99% by weight of at least one linear paraffin selected from C.sub.8, C.sub.10, C.sub.12 paraffins and mixtures thereof, and (ii) 1 to 10% by weight of a C.sub.14 linear paraffin, and (b) from 0 to 50% by weight of at least one non-volatile oil. The composition may be used in cosmetic compositions such as for making up and/or caring for and/or protecting skin, lips, eyelashes and/or nails, and in antiperspirant/deodorant compositions.

The present invention is intended to provide an oily makeup cosmetic that is colorless in appearance but develops a color on application onto body surface, such as skin and lips. The present invention provides a colorless oily makeup cosmetic comprising (a) one or two dyes selected from Red No. 218 and Red No. 223, and (b) an oil agent, and a mixture of the component (a) and the component (b) at a mass ratio (a):(b) of 0.1:100 has a difference of 0.2 or less between the maximum absorbance and the minimum absorbance in a wavelength region of 500 to 600 nm. The oily makeup cosmetic may develop a color due to the component (a) on application onto body surface, such as skin and lips.
