Cosmetic composition for adding fullness to the lips and surrounding area

Abstract

A cosmetic composition is provided that is particularly intended for application to areas constituting or surrounding the lips. It is a silicone-based formula, preferably comprising a solvent, masking oil, moisturizer, skin protectant, pigment, wax and antioxidant, specifically designed to enhance the fullness of the lips and their surrounding area which decrease as a result of the aging process. In addition, the cosmetic may be used to fill in wrinkles, cracks and/or crevices that surround the lip area which are also a result of the aging process. The invention is a creamy formula which easily fills such lines, resulting in a smooth texture of any areas to which it is applied. The effect is a reduction in the ability of facial lines to cause the undesirable bleeding of lipstick into areas of the face other than the lips.
