Mascara containnig fiber components

A mascara containing fibre components which comprises 0.1 to 10% by weight of at least one oil-soluble or oil-dispersible polymer or copolymer,

• 0.3 to 10% by weight of a natural or synthetic fibre with an average length of between 3 and 6 mm,
• 10 to 30% by weight of a natural or synthetic wax which hardens at 25° C. and below,
• 1 to 10% by weight of a synthetic wax, polyethylene or a mixture thereof which is liquid at 18° C. and above,
• 0.5 to 10% by weight of inorganic pigments, organic colourants and mixtures thereof,
• 40 to 80% by weight water and cosmetic auxiliaries, active agents and mixtures thereof making up the remainder up to 100% by weight,
• wherein said mascara does not contain any water-soluble or water-dispersible hydrophilic polymers, film-forming agents, thickeners or clays,
• and wherein all percentages are relative to the weight of the overall composition,
• and wherein said mascara is produced by mixing an oil phase consisting of waxes which are solid at 25° C. and below, oils, pigments and an oil-soluble or oil-dispersible polymer or co-polymer with an aqueous phase at 65-78° C. until complete emulsification, and mixing the aforesaid emulsion with a homogeneous, alcohol-free mixture of fibres and liquid synthetic wax, liquid polyethylene or mixtures thereof, which has been prepared at between 18 and 25° C. and 12-20 rpm, at 50-70° C. while stirring.
