The present invention provides a method of preventing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and discoloration on the skin. This is achieved by the topic al application to the skin of a composition containing a first platelet of alumina treated with a metal oxide, a second platelet treated with a spheric al scattering component, and a cosmetic or pharmaceutical carrier. The compositions can also contain a standard interference pigment, such as a whi te and a yellow interference pigment to further blend the color to closely matc h the natural skin tone. The combination of pigments and platelets creates a mosaic of color and optically manipulates light such that lines, wrinkles, disfigurations and discolorations on the skin appear to substantially vanish . In addition to the pigments and platelet components, a non-interference pigment can also be added to fine-tune the matching of color to the skin ton e. The alumina platelet alone is metallic-looking; however, when it is tempered with the other platelet containing the spherical scattering component, the n et effect is that the skin appears natural, luminous and flawless.
