Provided is a cosmetic including silicone microparticles, in which the silicone microparticles include 100 parts by mass of silicone elastomer spherical microparticles having a volume average particle diameter within a range from 0.1 to 100 μm, and 0.5 to 25 parts by mass of a polyorganosilsesquioxane that coats a surface of the silicone elastomer spherical microparticles, and the silicone elastomer is capable of absorbing not less than 30 parts by mass of at least one oily substance selected from the group consisting of sebum, hydrocarbon oils and ester oils per 100 parts by mass of the silicone elastomer. Even if containing an unctuous agent, the cosmetic exhibits favorable feelings upon use, with no spreading difficulties, stickiness, greasiness, oily film feeling, or the like, and is also capable of suppressing problems caused by sebum, namely, changes in the makeup cosmetic properties of the cosmetic, changes in the color of the cosmetic, increased shine, and the like.本發明提供一種包括聚矽氧微粒之化妝品，其中該等聚矽氧微粒包括100質量份具有體積平均粒徑在0.1至100 μm範圍內之聚矽氧彈性體球狀微粒，及0.5至25質量份塗佈於該等聚矽氧彈性體球狀微粒表面上之聚有機倍半矽氧烷，且該聚矽氧彈性體能夠每100質量份該聚矽氧彈性體吸收不少於30質量份選自由皮脂、烴油及酯油組成之群之至少一種油性物質。即使含有油性劑，化妝品在使用時仍顯示宜人的觸感，而無擴散困難、黏性、油膩、油膜感或其類似情形，且亦能夠抑制由皮脂引起之問題，亦即化妝品之化妝性質改變、化妝品顏色改變、光亮增加及其類似問題。
