Provided is a liquid cosmetic composition suitable for eye makeup, which does not get blurred on the skin when applied thereon and drops (drips) less and which has a low viscosity and can draw lines densely. Further, provided is a liquid cosmetic composition suited to eye makeup, which is prevented from producing uneven colors due to a difference in a hue between an upper part and a lower part and which can draw lines densely even when a long and narrow brush is used. The above liquid cosmetic composition is characterized by comprising, for example, at least an aqueous emulsion of an acrylic acid base polymer having a glass transition point of 20°C or lower obtained by polymerizing monomers selected from an acrylic acid monomer, a methacrylic acid monomer, an acrylic ester monomer and a methacrylic ester monomer, crystalline cellulose, an inorganic pigment, and water.
