A skin tightening aqueous film forming composition comprising:
- (a) from about 0.02% to about 10% by weight of a first film former sodium silicate;
- (b) from about 0.01% to about 10% by weight of a second film former;
- (c) from about 0.01% to about 1.0% by weight of at Montmorillonite;
- (d) from about 0.5% to about 20% by weight of at least an acrylate copolymer;
- (e) from about 0.25% to about 10% by weight of VP/VA Copolymer;
- (f) a first and a second plasticizer, wherein the first and the second plasticizer are butyl stearate and propanediol;
- and wherein the first and the second plasticizer are present in a ratio of about 2:1;
- (g) from about 0.3% to about 3% by weight of at least one treated or non treated pigment;
- and
- (h) optionally from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of at least one cosmetic powder;
- wherein the composition provides a tightening sensation, and reduces skin imperfections upon application to the skin.
