<p>An improved 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 resultant cosmetic is water insoluble and has a staying power far greater than that of conventional lipstick. The novel cosmetic will not smear and come off on beverage receptacles, fabrics or the human skin once it dries. The finish is so sheer that the 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 cosmetic on coffee cups, cheeks or collars. Compositions for enhancing the finish of the cosmetic are also provided. Such compositions transform the finish of the cosmetic from a matte to a high-gloss finish. The finish enhancing compositions also moisturize and condition the lips, and may also include protective compounds. Compositions for enhancing the color of the cosmetic are also provided. The present invention also relates to compositions for removing the above compositions from the lips. Kits including the above compositions and methods for using the above compositions are also provided.</p> |
