Disclosed are a cosmetic composition containing an amphiphilic anisotropic powder and a method for preparing the same. The cosmetic composition contains an amphiphilic anisotropic powder which maximizes chemical interface activity and physical interface activity by controlling amphiphilic property, which is the characteristic of an existing surfactant, and geometric property, which is the characteristic of powder macroparticles, thereby forming an emulsion having excellent and stabilized emulsifying capacity.
