Disclosed herein is a composition, for example, a cosmetic care and/or makeup composition for a keratin material, comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, i) at least one polyester resulting from esterification of at least one Guerbet capped polyester ii) at least one oil of a molar mass ranging from 650 to 10,000 g/mol, and iii) at least one colorant. The composition may possess cosmetic properties and can, for example, endow the makeup or care product with properties of gloss, smoothness of application and comfort. Further disclosed herein is the use of the at least one polyester and the at least one oil with a molar mass ranging from 650 to 10,000 g/mol in a physiologically acceptable composition as an agent for endowing the composition with properties of slip, gloss, comfort, definition, non-migration, enhanced color intensity and/or enhanced color retention after challenge. The compositions unlike those made from oxidatively inferior triglycerides do not form degradative odor bodies during storage and use, making them superior to all other materials.
