ABSTRACT:
An improved lip cosmetic employing a coloring agent and a plasticizer in a volatile solvent includes a film-forming agent which preferably has as components an AMPHOMER and ethyl cellulose, as well as a cosmetic pigment. The lip cosmetic of the invention includes between about one and about ten parts of an alcohol soluble and water insoluble resin, between about one and about ten parts ethyl cellulose, between one and about ten parts of a dispersion of cosmetic pigments in castor oil, and between about seventy and about ninety-five parts of an organic solvent. The resultant lip cosmetic is water insoluble and has a staying power far greater than that of conventional lipstick. The novel lip cosmetic will not smear and come off on beverage receptacles, fabrics, or the human skin once it drys. The finish is so sheer that the lip cosmetic can be applied in at least three successive layers without caking up or cracking. Once applied in this fashion, while allowing each layer to dry between each successive application, a person can shower, swim, smoke, kiss, and imbibe beverages without leaving stains from the lip cosmetic on coffee cups, cheeks, or collars.
