A cosmetic agent and a method for improving water resistance of a pigment-containing cosmetic composition are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a cosmetic agent comprises (a) at least one anionic polymer A, (b) at least one amphoteric polymer B, and (c) at least one pigment. These cosmetic agents display an extremely good water resistance but may, however, be removed without residue in one application of surfactant-containing cleaning agents.
