The present invention relates to silicone elastomer emulsion cosmetic
compositions that comprise an internal phase the further includes a
colorant. These compositions are intended to deliver such colorant
ingredients to the skin of the user in such a manner as to provide a
smooth and even colored appearance. In particular, the present invention
relates to a cosmetic composition comprising an emulsion that further
comprises: a) a continuous aqueous phase comprising: 1) from about
0.1% to about 10%, by weight of the composition, of a non-emulsifying
crosslinked siloxane elastomer; b) a dispersed oil phase comprising:
1) from about 1% to about 25%, by weight of the composition, of an oil
compatible colorant; and 2) from about 0.01% to about 20%, by weight of
the composition, of a binder; and c) from about 0.01% to about 15%, by
weight of the composition, of an emulsifier.
