Patent ID: 8383689

Claim:
A method for applying a skin cosmetic on skin, which comprises: providing a skin cosmetic comprising: (a) cocoon-shaped polymer fine particles having an average particle size of 1 to 8 μm, wherein the shape of the cocoon-shaped polymer fine particles is a rotation body in the form of a capsule-like cylinder having one end and the other end formed respectively into a hemisphere or a part thereof, and when a projected figure of the cocoon-shaped fine particle drawn by irradiating the fine particle with light in a direction perpendicular to the side of the cylinder of the fine-particle is superimposed on a basal line B drawn by the following numerical formulas (1) and (2): 1.1 ≦L/W≦ 3 (1) 0.3 ≦R/W≦ 0.6 (2) wherein L is the distance between one end and the other end in rotation axis X of the rotation body, W is the diameter of the cylinder of the rotation body and R is the radius of the hemisphere, so that the outline P of the projected figure of the cocoon-shaped fine particle will enlarge as large as possible unless it will protrude out of the basal line B, the inside area of the outline P of the projected figure makes up 85% or more of the inside area of the basal line B, with (b) a cosmetic vehicle and (c) other additives for a skin cosmetic, and applying the skin cosmetic on skin.
