This invention provides a cosmetic material, which provides excellent luster after applied, without oily even though sebum secreting over time, and enables the pores inconspicuous. The cosmetic material is characterized by: containing (a) coated particles in which silicone elastomer particles or silicone elastomer/silicone resin composite particles are coated on the surface of the flaky substrate powder, and (b) an oily component containing volatile silicone oil, the refractive index of the oil component, as a whole, is from 1.39 to 1.43.本發明提供一種化粧料,其係在塗佈隨後即有優異的光澤,而且即使隨時間經過而分泌出皮脂也不泛油光,使毛孔不顯眼者。本發明的化粧料的特徴為:含有(a)在薄片狀基板粉體表面被覆有聚矽氧彈性物粒子或聚矽氧彈性物/聚矽氧樹脂複合粒子的被覆粒子及(b)含有揮發性聚矽氧油的油性成分,而油性成分的整體之折射率是在1.39至1.43。本案圖式為本案所請化粧料所含之被覆粒子的單獨光學特性及實施態樣之光學特性之圖,及非本案所請化粧料所含之被覆粒子的單獨光學特性及實施態樣之光學特性之圖,以及本案被覆粒子之SEM照片,惟該等圖式均不足以代表本案所請化粧料之技術特徵,故本案無指定代表圖。
