Makeup compositions, such as free or compacted powders, foundations, face powders, eyeshadows, lipsticks, products for concealing rings under the eyes, blushers, mascaras, eyeliners, lip pencils, eyeliner pencils, nail varnishes and products for making up the body are composed of an appropriate vehicle andbof colouring agents of different natures intended to confer a certain colour on these compositions before and/or after their application to the skin, lips and/or superficial body growths.

These colouring agents can be lakes, inorganic or organic pigments and/or pearlescent pigments or alternatively colorants. Cosmetic scientists have available pigments of inorganic origin, such as iron oxides or mixtures of brown-yellow iron oxides, and pigments of organic origin. Inorganic pigments, in particular inorganic oxides, have the advantage of being very stable but have the disadvantage of giving rather drab and pale colours. Organic lakes have the advantage of conferring more saturated colours on the compositions but the majority is unstable with respect to light, temperature or pH. Some of these lakes also exhibit the disadvantage of staining the skin in an unsightly way after application, by escape of the colorant. Pearlescent pigments, for their part, make it possible to obtain varied but never intense colours with effects which are iridescent but which are generally fairly weak.

Therefore, there is still a need for further formulations having improved colour strength and saturated shades which, in addition to good tolerability, additionally exhibit outstanding fastness properties in as many areas as possible.

It has now been found that the formulations according to the invention meet those requirements.

By virtue of the pigments used according to the invention in the novel formulations, it is possible to obtain colour shades that hitherto were difficult to achieve or could not be

achieved at all. The new pigment formulations have outstanding pigmentary properties, such as lightfastness, chroma/saturation, colour strength, hiding power and dispersibility. Further, the colour is almost identical with the colour that can be achieved on the skin and nails using the novel formulations. As a result it is very readily possible to achieve precisely the desired colour shade. The novel formulations are distinguished especially by the fact that they exhibit no"bleeding"of the pigments into the skin and the nails, that is to say sharp outlines are obtained therewith on the skin and the nails themselves are not stained.

The pigment according to the invention may be incorporated in a cosmetic formulation, in an amount which can be easily determined by a person skilled in the art on the basis of his broad knowledge and which can in particular range from 0. 01 to 50% by weight with respect to the weight of the formulation, preferably in an amount ranging from 0.5 to 25% by weight.

This pigment can be also fixed on a polymer in particular by graphing or embedding.

Moreover, it is also possible to use one or more pigments of formula (I) together with other pigments, goniochromatic pigments and/or colourants such as are employed in cosmetic formulations. Pigments other than those of formula (I) may be present in the formulation in an amount ranging from 0 to 25% of the weight of the final formulation and preferably from 2 to 15%. Preferred inorganic pigments are, for example, titanium, zirconium or cerium oxides, as well as zinc, iron or chromium oxides and ferric blue.

Such optionally modified pigments are advantageously used in the form of pigment prepara- tions in which the pigment is already in dispersed form. Suitable preparations are described, for example, in W. Herbst, K. Hunger: Industrielle organische Pigmente, VCH Verlag- gesellschaft 1995, page 92 ff.

Therefore, a further embodiment of the present invention relates to a cosmetical formulation comprising, based on the total weight of the formulation, a) from 0. 0001 to 50 % by weight, preferably from 0.0001 to 25 % by weight, of at least one pigment of formula (I), and b) from 50 to 99.9999 % by weight, preferably from 75 to 99.9999 % by weight, of a cosmetically suitable carrier.

Suitable carriers for the cosmetic preparations and formulations according to the invention are the conventional materials used in such compositions.

The cosmetic preparations and formulations according to the invention may be in the form of, for example, sticks, ointments, creams, emulsions, suspensions, dispersions, powders or solutions. They are, for example, lipsticks, mascara preparations, make-up for the cheeks, eyeshadows, foundations, eyeliners, powders or nail varnishes.

When the preparations are in the form of sticks, for example lipsticks, eyeshadows, make-up for the cheeks or foundations, such preparations consist for a considerable part of fatty

A lipophilic functional cosmetic active ingredient suitable for skin cosmetics, an active ingredient combination or an active ingredient extract is an ingredient or a mixture of ingredients that is approved for dermal or topical application. The following may be mentioned by way of example : - active ingredients having a cleansing action on the skin surface and the hair. These include all substances that serve to cleanse the skin, such as oils, soaps, sapless detergents and solid substances; - active ingredients having a deodorizing and perspiration-inhibiting action: they include antiperspirants based on aluminium or zinc salts, deodorants comprising bactericidal or bacteriostatic deodorizing substances, for example triclosan, hexachlorophene, alcohols and cationic substances, for example quaternary ammonium salts, and odour absorbers, for example @Grillocin (combination of zinc ricinoleate and various additives) or triethyl citrate, optionally in combination with an antioxidant, for example butyl hydroxytoluene) or ion-exchange resins; - active ingredients that offer protection against sunlight (UV filters) : suitable active ingredients are filter substances (sunscreens) that are able to absorb UV radiation from sunlight and convert it into heat. According to the desired action, the following light- protection agents are preferred: light-protection agents that selectively absorb sunburn- causing high-energy UV radiation in the range of approximately from 280 to 315 nm (UV- B absorbers) and transmit the longer-wave range of approximately from 315 to 400 nm (UV-A range), as well as light-protection agents that absorb only the longer-wave radiation of the UV-A range of from 315 to 400 nm (UV-A absorbers).

Suitable light-protection agents are, for example, organic UV absorbers from the class of the p-aminobenzoic acid derivatives, salicylic acid derivatives, benzophenone derivatives, dibenzoylmethane derivatives, diphenyl acrylate derivatives, benzofuran derivatives, polymeric UV absorbers comprising one or more organosilicon radicals, cinnamic acid derivatives, camphor derivatives, trianilino-s-triazine derivatives, phenylbenzimidazole sulfonic acid and salts thereof, menthyl anthranilates, benzotriazole derivatives, and/or an inorganic micropigment selected from aluminium oxide-or silicon dioxide-coated Ti02, zinc oxide or mica; - active ingredients against insects (repellents) : repellent are agents that are to prevent insects from touching the skin and becoming active there.

The preparations in stick form are preferably anhydrous but may in certain cases comprise a certain amount of water which, however, in general does not exceed 40 % by weight, based on the total weight of the cosmetic preparation.

If the cosmetic preparations and formulations according to the invention are in the form of semi-solid products, that is to say in the form of ointments or creams, they may likewise be anhydrous or aqueous. Such preparations and formulations are, for example, mascaras, eyeliners, foundations, make-up for the cheeks, eyeshadows, or compositions for treating rings under the eyes.

If, on the other hand, such ointments or creams are aqueous, they are especially emulsions of the water-in-oil type or of the oil-in-water type that comprise, apart from the pigment, from 1 to 98. 8 % by weight of the fatty phase, from 1 to 98. 8 % by weight of the aqueous phase and from 0.2 to 30 % by weight of an emulsifier.

Such ointments and creams may also comprise further conventional additives, for example perfumes, antioxidants, preservatives, gel-forming agents, UV filters, colourants, pigments, pearlescent agents, undyed polymers as well as inorganic or organic fillers.

If the preparations are in the form of a powder, they consist essentially of a mineral or inorganic or organic filler, for example, talc, zinc stearate, mica, kaolin, nylon powders (in particular Orgasol), polyethylene powders, Teflon, starch, boron nitride, microspheres of copolymers, such as Expancel (Nobel Industrie), Polytrap (Dow Corning), silicone resin microbeads (Tospearl from Toshiba, for example), polyethylene powder or polyamide powder, as well as adjuvants such as binders, colourants, etc..

The fillers may be present in an amount ranging from 0 to 35% of the total weight of the composition, preferably from 0.5 to 15%.

Such preparations may likewise comprise various adjuvants conventionally employed in cosmetics, such as perfumes, antioxidants, preservatives, etc..

If the cosmetic preparations and formulations according to the invention are nail varnishes, they consist essentially of nitrocellulose and a natural or synthetic polymer in the form of a solution in a solvent system, it being possible for the solution to comprise other adjuvants, for example pearlescent agents.

In that embodiment, the dyed polymer is present in an amount of approximately from 0.1 to 5 % by weight.

The cosmetic preparations and formulations according to the invention may also be used for colouring the hair, in which case they are used in the form of shampoos, creams or gels that are composed of the basic substances conventionally employed in the cosmetics industry and comprise at least one pigment of formula as defined above.

The cosmetic preparations and formulations according to the invention are prepared in the conventional manner, for example by mixing or stirring the components together, optionally with heating, so that the mixtures melt.

The composition examples below are given by way of illustration and without a limiting nature.

The Examples which follow serve to illustrate the invention without limiting it thereto. Parts are parts by weight and percentages are percentages by weight. Temperatures are given in degrees Celsius.

All the above mentioned pigments are prepared according to known methods, whereby the specific surface is controlled by a proper selection of the method and the corresponding setup or reaction parameters of the given method by which the specific surface area could be achieved. Possible methods include for example grinding the crude pigments in the precence or absence of a solvent and where appropriate with the aid of grinding elements. Typical examples of grinding methods well known in the literature are dry grinding, wet grinding and kneading. The crude pigments can also be dissolved and re-precipitated from a solution in an appropriate solvent. Typical examples of solvents are concentrated sulphuric acid (acid

pasting) or highly polar solvents with the addition of a small amount of a strong alkali. The solution of the colorant is then precipitated by mixing with water or an appropriate solvent with or without an acid or a base. Where appropriate, a pigment can also be grown to the desired surface area by stirring in a solvent or in an emulsion at a certain temperature (conditioning, Ostwaid ripening). In certain cases, the desired surface area can also be achieved by a proper selection of the reaction conditions in the pigment synthesis and the subsequent hydrolysis/work up of the pigment. Generally, methods can also be combined to achieve the desired surface area. Milling and conditioning are also highly specific and have to be selected and developed depending on the individual pigment. References are given for example in WO 03/064541 and WO 02/068541.
