The purpose of the present invention is to provide an oil-in-water type emulsion solid cosmetic that causes "adhesion" similar to that of a water-in-oil type emulsion solid cosmetic including wax, while having freshness and a moisturizing effect of an oil-in-water type emulsion substance. The present invention pertains to an oil-in-water type emulsion solid cosmetic characterized by containing (A) at least one hydrophilic thickening agent selected from the group consisting of gellan gum, agar, and copolymers including 2-acrylamide-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid, (B) a higher alcohol, (C) a surfactant, (D) water, and (E) an oil component, wherein the ratio between the blending amount of the (A) hydrophilic thickening agent and the total blending amount of the (B) higher alcohol and the (C) surfactant falls within the range of 3:1-1:9.本發明之目的在於提供一種一面具有水中油型乳化物之水潤感或保濕效果、一面實現如包含蠟之油中水型乳化固形化妝料之「取用(獲取)」之水中油型乳化固形化妝料。本發明係關於一種水中油型乳化固形化妝料，其特徵在於含有：(A)選自由結冷膠、瓊脂、及包含2-丙烯醯胺-2-甲基丙磺酸之共聚物所組成之群中之至少一種親水性增黏劑；(B)高級醇；(C)界面活性劑；(D)水；及(E)油分；且上述(A)親水性增黏劑之調配量、與上述(B)高級醇及(C)界面活性劑之合計調配量之比為3：1～1：9之範圍內。
