Abstract:
A method of concealing imperfections and accentuating a person's natural features, the method consisting essentially of:pointing a nozzle of a pressurized container towards an area of skin to be coated, wherein the pressurized container holds a cosmetic composition capable of forming a thin, water-resistant coating of generally uniform thickness on the skin that tapers in thickness during application towards the periphery of the area sprayed, the composition comprised of: from about 5.0 to 70.0 percent by weight water; from about 0.1 to 3.0 percent by weight of an electrolyte; from about 1.0 to about 20.0 percent by weight of a cycolmethicone and dimethicone copolyol compound; from about 0.5 to about 10.0 percent by weight of a polygleyceryl-4 oleate and peg-8 propylene glycol cocoate compound; from about 1.0 to about 20.0 percent by weight of a micronized titanium dioxide-containing compound; from about 0.1 to about 5.0 percent by weight of synthetic wax, wherein the synthetic wax and the micronized titanium dioxide-containing compound exhibit a synergistic film-forming effect; from about 0.5 to about 50.0 percent by weight of cyclomethicone; from about 3.0 to about 20.0 percent by weight of a metal oxide; and a preservative, wherein the composition does not dry damaged skin, and further wherein the composition will adhere to laser-treated skin, and spraying the cosmetic composition on skin such that a uniform, thin coating which blends with the surrounding skin is formed on the surface of the skin.
