PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a water in oil emulsified cosmetic capable of controlling the attaching property of powdery material on crista cutis and sulcus cutis, having a high attaching property of the powdery material on the skin, capable of obtaining a uniform and natural beautiful finish, and also having a high makeup durability and an excellent emulsion stability.SOLUTION: This water in oil emulsified cosmetic contains the following components (A), (B), (C), and (D). (A) 15 to 70 mass% of oily component containing silicone oil. (B) 0.1 to 20 mass% of copolymer obtained by copolymerizing a monomer expressed by formula (i) [wherein, (a) is a number to 1,000 to 10,000 average molecular weight of the monomer expressed by the formula (i)] with an N-atom-containing radically polymerizable monomer having an SP (solubility parameter) value of 19 to 24, and having 60 to 96 mass% of the monomer expressed by formula (i), and (C) 0.1 to 50 mass% of powdery material, and (D) 5 to 70 mass% of water.COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT【課題】油中水型乳化化粧料において皮丘と皮溝の粉体の付着性を制御し、皮膚への粉体付着性が高く、均一で自然な美しい仕上がりが得られ、かつ高い化粧持続性及び優れた乳化安定性を有する、油中水型乳化粧料を提供することである。【解決手段】次の成分(A)、(B)、(C)及び(D):(A)シリコーン油を含有する油性成分 15~70質量%(B)下記式(i)で表されるモノマーとSP値が19~24であるN原子含有ラジカル重合性モノマーを重合してなる共重合体であって、式(i)で表されるモノマーの含有量が60~96質量%である共重合体。(aは式(i)で表されるモノマーの平均分子量を1000~10000とする数である)0.1~20質量%(C)粉体 0.1~50質量%(D)水 5~70質量%を含有する油中水型乳化化粧料である。【選択図】なし
